Chalk pastels helpp me??

Question

Answer 1

i can help you out there.

you can use chalk pastels #1. as they come. like regular chalk on paper.  make sure you buy some spray fixative to spray on your piece when your done so the chalk does not smear.

or you can #2 actually dip the end of water and create sort of a more smooth glidy-look......you need to be careful not to rub the paper too much or it will begin to create little balls of paper on your piece. but also spray this when your done.
