This piece was different in that instead of simply using the watercolor pastels more like a watercolor, I used them more like a crayon for slightly beeswaxy effect, and sgraffito effect. The part I can't quite figure out is how to make sure that the wax layers on top are more permanent. I need to maybe research how folks who work with wax handle the longevity issues. thanks for looking!<BR/><BR/>oh, and i use a variety of brands of watersoluble crayons, pastels, pencils, etc. the ones i use most often are Neocolor II's watersoluble wax pastels. Hope that helps.Heidi Miracle-McMahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029301393789558454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35469497.post-71355786901981405212009-01-09T09:42:00.000-08:002009-01-09T09:42:00.000-08:00Heidi how did this turn out as far as color settin...Heidi how did this turn out as far as color setting?
