Crayon Art

If you have spent any time on pinterest, you have probably seen crayon art. The pictures where they glue crayons to a canvas, apply heat with a hair dryer and let the colors drip down. Some are very creative, while others are more basic.
I did complete this project, but I only scanned over the various pins for inspiration. Here is what I did.
Gathered my supplies:
  1. hairdryer
  2. canvas
  3. oil pastels (pretty much adult crayons)
  4. paintbrushes
  5. inspiration (photo of a mountain range)

Going into it I knew I wouldnt be doing what others had. I wanted to create something I could hang in my home. So i used the oil pastels and sketched and filled in the canvas. The coloring was blotchy, and rough. Then I heated the canvas with the hairdryer and blended the colors with my paintbrushes. It turned out really nice and I like the outcome. It was a pretty straight forward pin, and took about 1 hour.
