Mastering the Basic Crayon Techniques:
Crayon painting is a simple yet enjoyable art form. By mastering some basic crayon techniques, you can create more effortlessly. Correct holding of the brush is crucial for crayon painting. Different ways of holding the brush, such as sideways or backwards, can create different lines and effects. Start with simple lines such as straight lines, curves, and wave lines to practice. With proficient practice, you can attempt to draw more complex shapes and patterns. Learning to combine colors, utilizing their brightness, warmth, and coolness can create a rich visual experience. The application of pressure also varies the depth of the crayon color; a gentle pressure creates delicate colors, while heavy pressure produces deeper colors. Advancing Crayon Techniques: Once you have mastered the basic techniques, you can try some advanced crayon techniques to make your work more outstanding. Mixing colors together can create new colors and effects. Adding shadows and highlights to the painting enhances the three-dimensionality and hierarchy of the painting. Layering new colors and lines on existing paintings can enrich the layers and texture of the painting. Special crayon techniques such as scraping or rubbing can create special effects and textures. Using Brushes to Enhance Color in Art: In addition to crayon techniques, we can also enrich our creativity by combining brushes. Brushes can be used together with crayons to create a more diverse range of colors and effects. Combining brushes with crayons allows for an increase in color hierarchy, utilizing the texture of crayons to enhance the three-dimensionality of the painting. Brushes are well-suited for background drawing, quickly painting large areas of background color and creating a good atmosphere for the painting. Different brushes have different characteristics and effects, such as the delicacy of a calligraphy brush or the freshness of a watercolor brush. We can choose suitable brushes for our creative needs.
