Art Journalling with my New Crayons

I'm still playing with my new Neocolor II crayons and discovered how bright the colours are even when they've have had water added. The background looks like watercolour washes doesn't it? :)

This one's completely Neocolor, I had fun blending the dry colours together

 This one was done on a layer of gesso and I liked the way the texture picked up the pigment. I've used other mediums too, like collage and acrylic paint for the girl..

And finally another mixed media piece done on a base of gesso. I pulled a comb through the gesso while it was still wet and it made a lovely base to crayon over!

I love how they're chunky enough to cover the surface quickly and it's so fun adding water, turning it into lovely pools of bright colour.

I think I'm going to wear them down quite quickly don't you?! xx
