something about CLAY6 (drawing)



How to combine with oil pastels...

Painted the clay paper with different colours' pastels and the pressure will crack the clay paper into small pieces, join them with wax.



Or join cracked thin clay pieces and oil pastel with wax, in the process amount of wax will drop and stick on oil pastel stick, it can be blasting fuse.


Oil pastel contains oil and the wax on the surface can easily lighted, during the burning process, oil pastel stick will melt and drop on waxed clay, giving it colour. (can be slow or fast depends on how long the fire can last)

I tried make the clay base with a notch surround the oil pastel stick, it can last the fire and burning longer, on the stick surface appears air bubbles due the high temperature.



The ash has similar quality as chalk, dusty, fragile and fine.
