Wax crayon oil paint resist

Working with wax crayon and oil paint to make an image that looks surprisingly and unexpectedly like a screenshot from an 8-bit video game c.1986

Ohhh. I was genuinely surprised when you pulled out the pallete knife! Love the end result from this, James.

Surprised because I suppose I don't read descriptions very well

@@taylorweaver7486I liked it better before the knife but I’m glad it was surprising.

Ooo fun! I want a go!

Did you size the paper first?

@@carolinacrane1 no, but I’m keeping the oil paint thick so it doesn’t bleed. If you can drain it a bit first on some newspaper that probably helps.
