I had just completed my first live webinar (live online class) in 4 years. I can’t believe how technology has changed and it went without a single problem. We ran out of time and I wanted to do a follow-up. Instead of taking pictures of the final results, I recorded a high def video showing the closeups, plus how I’m able to write on the watersoluble pieces with my Staedtler Lumocolour Permanent Special liner.
Side Note: The Demystifying Your Art Products, Tools and Technique webinars will be done the 2nd Tuesday of every month. It’s free to register and registrants get a replay in case they arrived late or needed a refresher. Replays are available for 2 days, but are available 24/7 for members of Studio.ArtPlace.ca.
What did you think?
If you currently use watersoluble crayons in your art, I’d love it if you shared (in the comments below) what you use and what you love and hate about the product. We can all learn from each other.
Thank you for the video about demystifying water-activated pencils, crayons, oil pastels, etc. I do art journaling and teach an art journaling workshop at a retirement community. The method everyone loves to use for colorful backgrounds involves various ways of using these types of products. I love the vibrancy of color I get by layering them. However, their instability when using mediums to add elements, such as ephemera, stampings done on tissue paper, fabric, etc. can cause a melt-down in class.
I love your way of presenting and how you process out loud in your videos. You are a very versatile artist and gifted teacher.
Hi Linda!
glad you enjoyed the video and the webinar. You can mix the watersoluble products with matte medium for permanence. Using a fixative would work for sure, except the aerosol stuff needs to be used outside. SpectraFix (spectrafix.com) can be used indoors and is perfect in a classroom environment.
I hope this helps.
