I know I am 3 years behind this, but: I used the oil pastel technique with something of a twist. I have some small dots that I need to stand out against a dark background. I used odorless mineral spirits and a very cheap brush to apply the oil pastel in lemon yellow. It produced perfect "dots" against the dark blue background.

Loved this video. I use birthday cake candles for a wax resist for finer details as they are much easier to control where the wax is going xx

Another goid trick when removing masking tape is to heat it up with your dryer etc. The heat makes the sticky warm and less sticky and it releases so much easier especially on the edge of your paper.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

Yes I have heard of that one but must confess have been too lazy to try it out 🙈

@annettefournier9655 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's what I always do. Works a charm.

@rmader1997 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. My granddaughter tought me this on how to remove labels easy on jars etc that you want to keep. The hairdryer warms up the label, You peel it of easily. Then you clean the guey mess left with "Lighter Fluid" (Naptha found at the hardware store) . This is a very useful thing to know I think.

Thank you Michele, grey tips. For larger areas I've also used clear packing tape as a mask. Placed over a drawing then cut carefully around the drawing with a craft knife and remove the excess tape. You get the same crisp edge as the scotch tape. 😊
