RESIST TECHNIQUES
Variation 1:

The waxed lines will resist the paint along with the picture will glow through.
Variation 2:
Color the majority of the picture with crayon. Leave some areas white.
Brush in the whole page with thin paint. Only use one color.
Variation 3:
Draw over the lines with crayon.
Paint the photo with a variety of colors.
The crayon lines could make the picture better to paint.
They will eradicate edges bleeding into each other.
Variation 4:
This is not a resist but it is an incredible extension of the previous activities.
Paint the photo with watercolors.
When the paint is dry, use crayons to provide detail and depth of color.
RUBBING TECHNIQUES
Variation 1:
Rip off a little piece of paper that is certainly about the size a matchbox.
Use a crayon to scribble thickly to the paper.
Turn the paper over and ultizing your thumb rub the crayon on to the photo.
This results in a very soft smooth effect.
Variation 2:
Color an area of the image with a textured object placed underneath.
Sandpaper, string, crumpled paper, bricks, bark, leaves, signs and rocks can make interesting patterns. Experiment which has a bit of blank paper first.
Variation 3:
Use grated pieces or shavings of crayon to generate a swirling effect.
Sprinkle the crayon on to the picture and then rub them your thumb.
This is effective if you use different colors together.
It makes effective animal fur, storm clouds or grass.
TRANSPARENT TECHNIQUE
Go within the outline of the image with black crayon.
Color the remainder of the image thickly with crayon.
If possible use a tiny part of cotton wool or cloth to polish the photo.
Heat in the friction of rubbing melts the crayon and generates a smooth shiny effect.
Apply a tiny amount of vegetable oil to a cotton wool ball.
Gently rub the oil in the back of the image.
The oil will make the image almost transparent.
Students might be given the oil soaked balls in a very paint tray.
Encourage the crooks to look at and on the picture to spread the oil.
Hang the image inside a classroom window to produce a stained glass effect.
