Project #30 Water colour resist painting
b>tags | ..Projects by Arounna
This project allows the resist of the crayon to stand out as a linear
element
What you will need:
*watercolour paper or heavy stock paper 8 x 10 in.
*crayon (white is nice – I used grey)
*watercolour paints and brushes
*cup for water
Step one:
..Take the crayon and do a drawing on the paper
Step two:
..Cover the entire paper with just water (this is a wet on wet method)
Step three:
..Take the watercolour and paint over the entire surface – the crayon will
resist the paint and stand out nicely showing the drawing.
Let stand to dry.
What a beautiful painting! Love it!

It's also lots of fun to watercolor over crayon rubbings. My daughter and I are doing a bunch of rubbings with white crayons this week. At her birthday party next weekend we'll be leting the kids watercolor them to reveal their "mystery" images.

This is a beautiful project. May I ask what kind of watercolors you recommend? I just have the standard grocery store stuff.

I have done this craft in my school,with white crayons.they come out very well with white crayons!But,I have done it in a different way.We first drew a design with the crayon,then we dipped the brush straightaway in paint.So,we took 70% of water and 30%of paint,so that the painting looks watery and glossy!

Will this project work by glueing a light stock coloring sheet to the heavy stock paper?
