Crayon, Pastel, Chalk

Crayon and pastel art--though quite a few of these pieces were done with what Sanford calls "plastic markers"--really hard crayons with a plastic base/binder, instead of wax or oil. They erase like pencils--a real advantage for serious artists. Plus, they're lightfast (Crayolas aren't).

RELATED TOPICS: Other media: paintings - watercolor and silk-dyeing - pencil and charcoal - photocollages and altered photos - pure digital art - ink - felt pen and colored inks - comics - sculpture - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
