Crayoned artwork springs to life when water is added to the picture. This painting stick set is an excellent value, providing several times more paint than conventional watercolour sets.
Wrappers resist water absorption when the crayon is soaked in water.
Beginning colourers Fill in your drawings with watercolour washes. Draw with the tip or side of the crayons, then apply clean water to the drawing with a brush. Note that most of the crayoned lines and textures remain, even as the watercolour effect is created. Apply areas of intense colour by soaking the crayon tip in water, then drawing with it. Produce textural effects by soaking a crayon tip in water, rubbing it over a dampened sponge, and applying the sponge to the paper surface.
