Head of Achilles in Oil Pastel Sgrafitto


Oil Pastel and Crayons, 4" x 5 " NFS
In this technique you cover a stiff piece of paper or
card with Crayola crayons in different colors.
If you think about the color that will be the last
layer on your piece, you can choose the crayons and
you can choose your color scheme before you even
start working. For this I also used a metal ceramic
tool that had a rod with six pieces of very strait
wire at the end. This way you coud draw two to six lines
exactly the same each time you draw. It was very
easy to create cross-hatching this was.
