This project started as an accident. I wanted to create something that looked like pointillism using crayons. The idea had been to put down tiny pieces of crayon on the canvas and then melt them. I didn't want to use a blow-dryer since that seemed too messy and I didn't have an oven to bake the painting in.
So I improvised and put a piece of parchment paper over my design and ironed it. I didn't get pointillism... what I got was a happy little accident.
Combining an abstract look of watercolor along with an interesting texture was more than I had expected. This project is good for children aged 6 and up with adult supervision. It's also great for teenagers and adults. One of the things that I love about this project is that each painting will be absolutely unique.
