| Pressure Variations |
|
|
|
 |
|
Vary the pressure on a crayon by pressing hard or lightly to create a deeper or lighter color. Vary the pressure in the same scene to create a |
|
sense of depth or distance. Use light pressure to create shadows and heavy pressure to create visual dominance. |

| |
Tape several crayons together to create a multiple point drawing tool. This tool can be used to make stripes or plaids, or multiple lines |
|
|
|

|
|
|
with an easy stroke. The crayon tips should rest evenly on a flat surface when taping. |

|
| Outlining |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Use black or dark crayon colors to outline shapes in large murals, child-made big books or wall stories. Outlining the objects makes them easy to see from a distance. |

|
|
|
|
Mix new colors by gently overlaying light coats of various crayon colors on white paper. Each time you add a new layer, observe how the color appearance changes.
