A fun little technique to create some colorful pieces of art! These also make great pieces to add to collage techniques or are fun for art journaling too!
What you need:
- Watercolor paper (I use Canson XL cold press 140lb)
- Masking tape
- watercolor paints
- Oil pastels or Crayons
- Large flat brush
Step one: Tape down your watercolor paper – the tape also creates a nice border to your artwork you can decorate later! I cut my paper to be a bookmark!
Step two: Create a design or picture on your paper with your crayons or oil pastels – press firmly!
Step three: You don’t need to fill in all of your paper – leave some areas white, this will be filled in with your paint color!
Step four: Prepare your watercolor paints and gently brush overtop of your crayon or oil pastel design!
Step five: The oil pastels or crayons will resist the watercolor paint and only stick to the white areas of your paper! I used warm color crayons and cool color paint for more contrast!
Step six: Let your paint dry and remove your tape!
This piece was created with oil pastels instead of crayons!
I’m going to try this one today
Yay! Let me know how it comes out 😁
