Oil Pastel Scratched Canvas
A couple of weeks ago I was watching a lady on You Tube create a scratch canvas using Sakura Cray-Pas oil pastels, I decided to have a go, so out came my oil pastels from their hiding place and this is what I made.
This is how it was done.
Start of by colouring the canvas with the oil pastels until you've got a pattern that you're happy with.
Then you cover the whole thing with black oil pastel - very messy. You then cover this with your chosen stencil, I used a Creative Expressions clock mask, then using the point of a wooden skewer scratch away the black oil pastel to reveal the colours underneath, for some reason the colours underneath don't get scratched away. I sprayed the canvas with some Americana Matt Acrylic sealer to give it a bit of protection. This is the end result.
I then embellished my canvas with some cogs, chain, charm and some letters from my stash.

Looks great. I used to use this technique with the kids at school, it kept them busy and quiet for ages!! Valerie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I wonder if you could do it with black paint as well?
ReplyDeleteFantastic technique and great end result Hazel, but way too time consuming for me!!! I don't have the patience to scrape all that black away with a wooden skewer!!!!

Really like the effect but it's a labour of love and your fingers must have been aching after doing that! Love the vibrancy of your colours.
