From the Artist: This little painting is painted on a Strathmore's folded greeting card
140 lbs 5x7"' it comes with envelopes. I have never used wax crayons before with watercolor paints.
I really don't care the way it came out on the balls but I have an idea how I would like to use the white wax crayon in the future on other subject. So I have learned here something. Thank you
From the Painting Guide: It's always pleasing when someone tries something new because of a project, and when they discover something new to try again. While the white may not have work satisfactorily enough for you, I think it's still a card that'll make someone happy to receive.
I think it's a beautiful composition. The contrast between the shapes of the spiky thin branch tips and the colorful round baubles, the soft edges of the former and the hard edges of the latter. The way my eye is led down the branches and the two groups of three elements. It all makes for an elegantly simple design that holds my attention and pulls me in for a closer look.
Wax crayon with watercolor is a bit unpredictable in the results it gives because it depends on how soft the crayon is (which depends on the brand and how warm it is), how hard you press (how much goes does with one stroke), and whether the paper is smooth or rough. But I think it can give some great results, and is fun to experiment with.
