Technique Tuesday ~ Oil Pastel Crayons by Judy Cantrell

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:

1. Use a combination of two or more oil pastel crayons; apply these pastels to cover in a desired pattern over the light card stock.
2. You will want this application rather thick.
3. Use a foam brush to apply gesso over the oil pastel background.
4. If your gesso is too thick, you can wet the foam brush with a little bit of water.
5. Allow the gesso to dry thoroughly.
6. Use a piece of medium grade sandpaper to lightly sand off some of the gesso.
7. Note: You can sand in one direction and then another if desired.
8. Add finishing touch to your project.

 I came up with this technique using oil pastels back in April. I shared it on OWSE group and then a project over on my blog for Grungy Monday. The instructions are the same as the first technique with the except using Pearl Dabber paint, Archival Ink and I didn't sand this technique.

This is my first piece using this technique. I used Hearts in Touch Rubber Stamps on this example using Pearl Dabber paint on Oil Pastel Crayons.
