They were my favorite medium when I was a child. And when I couldn't find paper to draw on, I used walls. My mother had to have been vexed with me, for sure.
Okay, it sounds hokie, but I was determined to see if odorless mineral spirits would do the same on wax crayons as it does for colored pencils.
After trying to find someone out there who might have come up with this brain wave--and failed (only found people just doing drawings or melting the wax. Like what's the big deal with melting wax?
I found a great picture of Anelope Canyon (lower or upper, I'm not sure), and decided to hock it for a trial test with the crayons.
I found that the OMS did work as it did with wax pencils. I found I could put down more layers after it dried. I experimented on how soon I could try. Some colors seemed to blend really well. Others not so well. I should have made note on which ones, but I was having too much damned fun to care!
The final product:
What'dya think? Would you try it? I'm going to do another one soon. Until then, happy creating!
