Crayon and Pastel Art

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.

The World Dream Bank has 1500 dreams and dream images plus 500 other pages on dreamwork and shamanism, creativity, genius, art, surrealism and fantasy. Unless otherwise noted, all material copyright Chris Wayan, 2001-2006.
