Drawing and “Painting” with Wax Crayons

Next session: Thursday, July 10, 2025 | 10:00am-12:00pm

Details:

Did you throw away your wax crayons when you turned twelve? I bet you thought you’d never use them again. Wrong! Working with wax crayons can actually result in lovely and sophisticated compositions. This class will teach you how to use the crayons to achieve the effects you’re looking for: line, form, and color.  [Recommended that you buy your crayons from Stockmar or from Paper, Scissors, Stone. Their crayons are made from beeswax, are easy to use, and smell great!]
