Oil pastels and crayons



Oil Pastel – I find the idea of graffito (ie applying then scraping off colour) very interesting and would like to explore this more


























 
 

Crayons – I liked using these as I like the fact they are so accessible and often seen as a childish colouring medium. I liked layering them up and the blobby effect that can happen when trying to hatch with them and they don’t go on smoothly but blob! I think they would be good for larger works as somehow they seem more suited to drawing ‘big’ , not so easy to use for accurate work.
