Slideshows and videos are in many of our lessons, but we also publish each one separately so you can find them without wandering through old posts aimlessly. Just enter text into the “search the site” field over to the right, for something you remember. It can be something that was in the photos or written in the text.
Slideshows are presented as a vertical stack of photos with captions, which are easy to zoom in on using your fingers to pinch on a touch screen or touchpad. Just scroll down to advance.[/su_panel]

Create thick bold and bright outlines first. You can use a pencil for guide lines, but be very light.
Fill in the areas with colors you like. Blending and gradations will make it look more like paint than crayons.
To make lighter colors and new colors, use the side of the pastel to make a bit of texture in one color
Then make another layer in a second color, also lightly.
Finish by blending with white and/or a blending stick (stump)
areas lightly filled in
More color applied and blending together.
White goes over the whole thing to create a creamy lighter effect.
