CRAYONS CAN BE USED AS AN ART MEDIUM

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Crayons as a medium are usually frowned upon by artists."Crayons are not meant for artists" is what I've always heard.So I've never really tried to explore the medium. Recently when I had no art supplies with me and just wanted to sketch, I found a box of crayons and decided to just use it.Surprisingly I was quiet happy with the result. Ofcourse the result wasn't like any other medium, it had it's own unique touch to it.

They may have a limited colour palette and may not blend with other colours easily. But they are also capable of a surprising range of texture and colour and richness that you may have never discovered as a kid.It's definitely not easy to use crayons as medium, but Instead of trying to get crayons to fill in every nook and corner of the paper, you can let a crayon act like what it really is, a rigid stick of wax.When you colour with crayons, the paper scrapes off just a little wax with each stroke. The texture of the page catches the edge of the crayon and pulls a bit of colour. To fill in more colour , you have to press it a little harder.The best part? The crayons and the paper are super cheap. You can draw for months on about Rs. 50 worth of supplies. Do try to explore the medium!
