1. Find an interesting object with an interesting/rough surface texture. Place a piece of paper on top and lightly shade along the surface with a crayon (water-resistant Neocolor I).
2. Cut a figure from construction card using your imagination.
3. Place the figure underneath the paper and lightly shade with a crayon, causing the contour to appear clearly.
4. Continue painting the picture, now using water-soluble Neocolor II crayons. Use a brush and water for this procedure.

A TIP! Seek inspiration from Nature when making pictures where the imprint of surfaces with interesting/rough textures are included. Place the paper on top of a textured surface and lightly shade with a crayon. An imprint appears – this technique is also known as frottage.
