11. Choose an Object
Must be a simple
object you will
draw close up
Will sketch, color,
paint
Outline all pencil lines with a thick line of chalk. I included a border as well.
The chalk lines will end up black in the end.
Now colour in the image with a thick layer of oil pastels. You don't need to fill in all the white paper, but you do need to layer on the oil pastels really thick. You can also try this will wax crayons, but I felt the results weren't as bright. But it does work.
Once you're finished colouring, you can wipe off some of the chalk with a slightly damp sponge.
Now paint over a layer of watered down black acrylic paint or India ink over the entire image.
*Important* Drying time seems to be the touchy part of this process. I used acrylic paint and let it sit just 5 minutes before I washed it off. India ink might be different. Test it first yourself.
