I painted over one of a series of pre-prepped wax crayon layers in a sketchbook using cheap childs’ paint sticks. I then took another waxed and painted page from a different sketchbook and cut interesting curved shapes from it which I then stuck down on the page.
The purpose of this was to try out different colour juxtapositions as well as layers of different coloured wax and paint to see the effects I could achieve by scratching into the surface.
So far, these are just small scale experiments. I hope to use what I’ve learned about good mixed media methods and different colour combinations on something a little larger in scale later on.
The following images are prepped pages in my sketchbook for further experiment later on.
