Supplies

  • White Paper Heavy Drawing Paper, Watercolor Paper or Tagboard will work
  • Watercolor Paint
  • Oil Pastels

Instructions

  • Sketch 5 rows and 5 columns with a pencil.
  • Draw each letter of the alphabet inside of the boxes. One box will have to have 2 letters in it.
  • Design the letters with oil pastel.
  • Add watercolor paint. You can brush right over where you put oil pastels.

Notes

  • You can do this technique with any colors or subject matter. Have fun and experiment with this process!
  • You can lightly sketch the letters with a pencil or draw with a permanent marker before using oil pastels.
  • If you want your art to be exact, you could use a ruler to help make your grid. Eyeballing the lines worked well for us.
