Small Art on Paper - Acrylics + wax crayons and more!

Creating small art is so therapeutic to me. Just sitting down for an hour or so to play with supplies. I am loving the small brushes, small strokes and small marks. This is typically how I paint my middle layers on larger canvases but I’m starting to leave some as abstract. I’m really enjoying the process and seeing where these pieces are taking me.
Supplies I am using:
Paper is Fabriano Hot Press Artistico watercolor paper 140lb.
Acrylic inks - Amsterdam or Daler-Rowney
Golden Acrylic high flow - Phthalo turquoise + White Titanium
Oil Pastels - Sennelier
Neo Color 11 water soluble crayons
Colored pencils
Clear Gesso
Thanks for watching!

Beautiful❤❤ Thanks for sharing🙏

[@anitadore8144]

that is really lovely. And I found watching you make this piece to be very relaxing. I had a question about supplies... Can you use carat d'ache water RESISTENT wax crayons with acrylic paint on canvas? Will the paint adhere to the wax crayon or can I paint over the wax crayons? Or will the paint rub off easily?

[@samanthasmith4617]

That's so pretty. Thank you.u.k.
