Picture 01

This is my first picture that I coloured.


I tried to melt crayons for this. I started out using a pencil eraser to put it on, and also the tip. I would coat it with the wax, and then use it kind of like a brush. I tried to use different textures, to make it look more interesting. 
To melt the crayons, it was an interesting process. At first, I just put a black crayon in an empty paper sorbet container, and put it in the microwave. It melted, but it kind of dried after a little bit, and I ended up using it kind of like an actual crayon when I put it on a pencil and used it like I said. We tried putting oil in the cup we microwaved it in, and it worked for Caeden, but for me the bottom of the cup fell out. It was sad.
But it worked out pretty well. I liked doing this project! 

For my first picture, I'm going to try and melt/soften crayons and color my picture.


For the other one, I'm going to try and use pastels or crayons and color it.
