Technique Tuesday
This week I’ll share two techniques using oil pastels
Supplies:
Artists Oil Pastel Crayons
Light Color Card stock
Gesso
Sandpaper
Water
Foam Brush
Instructions:
- Use a combination of two or more oil pastel crayons; apply these pastels to cover in a desired pattern over the light card stock.
- You will want this application rather thick.
- Use a foam brush to apply gesso over the oil pastel background.
- If your gesso is too thick, you can wet the foam brush with a little bit of water.
- Allow the gesso to dry thoroughly.
- Use a piece of medium grade sandpaper to lightly sand off some of the gesso.
- Note: You can sand in one direction and then another if desired.
- Add finishing touch to your project.

Such pretty samples. Gotta try this.
I totally LOVE that last one. I've had a set of oil pastel crayons for years that I haven't touched. Maybe now I will. I actually took them out to use in my art journal the other day but didn't do anything with them yet.
