Rain's Thursday Art Date asked us to 'try a different medium' this week. This (8 1/2" x 11') piece is done entirely in watercolour crayon. The stubby crayons look like pastels. After colouring in the page, I dipped a paintbrush sparingly into a small amount of water and this is the final result. The tulip is based on a photo I took from above it, peering into the stamen and pistils at the centre. There were 6 perfectly formed petals, the magic of nature really.

Beautiful piece! Nature is really magic. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
You have mastered this beautiful natural picture of a flower! I like these pens and brush them with the brush over the surface!
Have a beautiful day, hugs Elke
Those crayons look great but that tulip is EVERYTHING! 🧡
Gorgeous. So gorgeous. Thanks.
Greetings from London.
A lovely idea! We're painting rocks.. :-)
Oh how neat Christine! I've never seen watercolour crayons! I have watercolour pencils that I like to use once in a while for more detailed work. I'm going to keep an eye out for the crayons next time I go to Michaels. Your piece is very nice!
What a pretty tulip ~ Enjoy your week!
Watercolor painting looks very nice. It's fun to experiment with different media.
Beautiful watercolor flower.
I've used watercolor crayons. Your picture is lovely.
😃
How absolutely INCREDIBLE, Christine. Somehow my watercolor crayons don't create beautiful art like yours do. Must be the hand that guides the crayons and not the crayons themselves. Nature at its best, and you made it so!
That's lovely Christine … very nicely done.
All the best Jan
Very nicely done. I think I would like these watercolor crayons.
The magic of nature as captured by the artist ... beautifully done, Christine. I don't think I have ever used watercolor crayons ... looks interesting. Will have to try them :) Be safe and be well, Christine ...
