Crayon Contest | My first attempt to create something with these crayons

## A while ago I bought myself a set of Faber Castell oil pastel crayons
Thinking this would be nice to also try, next to my watercolour pencils and watercolour paint that I bought for my daughter. The first attempt that I did to make something with these things turned out horrible! I had no clue what I was doing (as usual with new material haha) and I didn't get the feel of it to be honest. I gave up, closed the box again, and put them far away in the drawer never to be opened again.

## Then I saw the crayon contest by @erodedthoughts 
Now, this seemed to be a nice opportunity to try these things again. I first gave them to my toddler, who was very enthusiastic at first, but soon started to colour the table instead of the paper.. oops. In the meanwhile, I searched on google for some beginners tips for these crayons, as I didn't want my second attempt to be a total failure once again. And then I read about the rule of 3. Start using one colour, fill in the uncoloured spots with another colour, and then use the third colour. 

## I decided to make something using black paper instead of white
I had no plan and made a picture a bit after I started (almost forgot). I was just trying to get used to the feeling of these crayons because you can't push too hard, it will give you black spots and remove the colour instead.

## At that point I didn't think I could make something of it
But I decided to finish it anyway. I decided the forms I mad would get a black line around them, as I liked the contrast. When I was finally done after 2,5 hours (sigh!) I found out you can use turpentine to blend the stuff too. I'm thinking of trying that, but I don't have that at home. So maybe it's best if I first make some more of these works because it would be stupid to buy the stuff for only this piece ... My boyfriend thinks I already have way too much of these things to be creative. And as I get bored easily, I usually don't stick to one thing but take turns when I feel creative using other materials.

>I hope you at least like my work a little bit, be gentle as it was the first time ;-) haha

I have a box of oil pastels - still unopened, I might add! Figured my daughter will eventually use them without making a mess... maybe :-)

Lol, bit similar situation haha.. I was such a huge fan of the faber castell watercolour pencils, that I thought everything from them would probably be good quality and easy to use. But maybe I should google a bit more info about the techniques you can use lol.. Did you know you could blend them? I actually got a bit hyper finding that out, as I love the blending of the watercolour pencils. But I have to make some things first I guess, my boyfriend will go nuts, there are several big drawers filled with all kinds of paper and materials lol :)

If you do try, show us please :) have fun!

The black outline does make the colors look rich right.
Looks cool, totally beats that cover drawing on the crayon box.
