Wax Resist PaintingYou will need:

• Wax Crayons• Drawing paper• Water based paint• Paint brushes• Water• Newspaper

1. Cover the table surface with newspaper.2. Draw a scene from the text or from the story you have written on the painting paper with the wax crayons. Press down hard so the crayon goes into the tooth of the paper. Bright or light coloured crayons work best if you are using dark paint and vice versa.3. Paint over the crayon with water paints. The crayon will resist the paint and the paint will only apply where there is no crayon.

Hints: - Avoid using brown and black to keep your painting bright and colourful. - Avoid painting colours on top of each other so your painting does not get ‘muddy’. - Use white crayon or a candle to make a mystery drawing that only appears when the paint is applied.
