I love glancing at your website for new ideas, especially your literature connections! I will have to try this lesson next year, as Winter is pretty much over here in Florida…
Just a thought: I noticed you use black oil pastels often for drawing before adding another media. Have you ever tried black china markers? They’re pretty cheap and last a little longer. They work well for drawing before painting. I love the oil pastels, but the only thing I don’t love is when they are already broken into small pieces after only a few classes have used them. Of course, for some things like chalk drawings and resist, I think the pastels work better! Keep up the great work on your website, its so inspiring!

Hi Ami,
Thanks for the tip. I’ve never heard of black china markers but I’ll do some research today. They sound intriguing!
