Book Review – The Art Of Crayon

The Art of Crayon by Lorraine Bell

Crayons are making a comeback in to art. We seem to have moved beyond melting them in to Crayon Art paintings like on our sister site Craftbits.com and actually using them for real Grown up art.

The Art of Crayon will guide you through a gallery of works by contemporary artists who use crayons as a diverse and dynamic medium. Each chapter includes a specific style of crayon artwork, complete with engaging projects from author Lorraine Bell to help you learn different techniques. From sculpture, to carving, to melted wax and drawing, you’ll soon become a master crayon artist!
