Watch how I create cool effects with crayons!

[@8433alice]

Your demos never fail to inspire me. No matter my mood, you always manage to lighten up my day. Even when it is night ;-/... Thanks very much. Also, I have purchased a several of your acrylic paints and the quality and colours are, somehow, quite special. Thank you for that!

[@davide9427]

This is so cool. And it's easier than firing up the acrylic paints for a quick page in the sketch book. Makes it more accessible to do the daily page. Thanks Nick! I always look forward to the "Sunday in the studio with Nick" posts!

[@Natufia1]

Thanks Nicholas. I’m going to be travelling over the next 3 months to UK. These wax crayons are a perfect stopgap. ❤

[@traces2807]

Thanks for this Nick! I purchased these crayons from Amazon after a fellow artist raved about them. They're bees wax based and very creamy. The brand name is Ooly. They also have paint sticks called Chunkies!

[@mai_8j888]

I was looking for the mention of the brand of crayon. Thx!

[@judykane7682]

You never let me down Nick! Always a great perspective on the creative lives we lead. We can choose to be positive and productive and you set a great example.

[@charmmaeonineza1501]

Thanks for reminding me of crayons' unlimited potential! I used to do everything you did in this video when I was a kid (I even made coin impressions by rubbing crayons on paper over a coin). Sometimes when we get overloaded with the usual adult artist stuff and need something fresh it's worth going back to these childhood experiences for a bit of inspiration.

[@earthstar01]

All those things I did with my kids in school. Cool! Glad you're having fun!

[@davidsillars3181]

Thanks Nick. I started messing about with waxy crayons, labelled as Artists Oil Pastels, when I was bedbound. Useful to have when you can't reach the paint table. So i had covered a few pages in my note book and found them very handy to have around. I like the scratching you did here, must have another try with them. ❤

I spent my childhood coloring with my 64 Crayola box of crayons, and developed a lifelong habit of crayon sketching. It’s always so freeing, like being a little girl again and just sitting in the corner playing with my crayons, deciding which colors I like to put next to each other.

[@handmadeDenver]

ME TOO. I never lost my love affair with crayons. The softness of wax based color is so freeing.

[@grozdavranic6972]

It is interesting what you did...Thank you for sharing....

[@suzanne7935]

I love this and really enjoy watching your creative process👏👏👏

[@PaulKellett-bk6vt]

Greatest. pod. EVER! for artists (which we ALL are, actually)

[@nancycloonan4646]

I love this!! You’ve inspired me to go for more with my sketchbook journal! Layering wax is super cool looking as well as satisfying to do 👀🧡🐝

[@susanmarcoux7005]

What fun!

[@stargrannyavon]

Have a great Sunday

[@julie-annemather3465]

I love how you find the time for this everyday. Each page is an artwork in its own right. Great inspiration. Thank you for always sharing your process. I should really try and do this daily. Also glad I bought these crayons, they are amazing!! Happy Sunday!

[@sydneykasmar]

I really enjoyed this and need to get my crayons out. I really was amazed that when you layered certain colors that the colors became so rich looking. Neat process.

[@aiagorreta]

FUN!!!! thanks !

[@judylamar6752]

🙏❤️

[@leonalii1533]

Do not own any crayons but tried this with my Neocolor ii:s, it was great fun!

[@stephaniebutterfield7246]

💚this

[@jacquelynamerman1945]

I love this idea for my sketchbook! Have you used it in larger pieces?

[@ElleCoyote]

I have no regular crayons so I used Caran d'Ache, which are water soluble, so the effect was not the same but I enjoyed doing it, thanks for sharing the idea!

[@suehelm5889]

If you put a stencil underneath the page and color it really creates unique texture!

[@estanoapagnie9656]

Love the inspiration. Thank you b

[@cherylerome-beatty4677]

Thanks! Exactly what i needed to help me dirgure out hoq to translate some pen and ink sketches into color.

[@Cre-Art]

I'm curious to try this and would like to know what kind of crayons you used. It gave me some ideas, but I don't just want to buy kid's crayons if there are better brands. :) Thanks.

[@MarkSnedeker]

Hi Nick. Love your videos and podcasts. So informative! What brand of crayons do you use? Do you use a fixative on your crayon work? Thanks.

Beeswax crayons www.art2life.com/product/newbeeswax-crayons/

[@sherrystone3307]

I like Gelatos also they are like using your mom's lipstick when you were little

[@debbrown721]

Never connected the dots between using crayons like a cold wax, almost, or layering crayon as you do paint. I need to be years old again.☺

[@susanschweit8862]
