I was going away for a crop retreat and at the last minute I decided to make a art journal travel kit. I have water color crayons, but water color pencils are more portable and less messy. There were no art or scrap booking stores open. So, I went to Wally World hoping to find water color pencils. I have seen gesso and canvass before so I was hoping. No luck in the art/scrap booking/stationery section, but to my surprise I found CRAYOLA water color pencils in the kid art section for $2.97. I was not sure how these pencils would work since they were not artist or even student quality.
When I got tired of scrap booking I played around with coloring. I drew these two trees on watercolor paper and colored them with the pencils. I used my water brush to spread the color. While not super vibrant colors, the pencils worked just fine. This was fun.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come again soon.
Very cool, Tina! The pencils are so fun to play with, aren't they? Yay for Crayola! I still haven't tried an ATC! lol Maybe one of these days! :o)
