Just playing around with some cool new techniques. The background to this piece was created using the gesso watersoluable crayon technque. My friends Roc and Terri just made a great new video demonstrating this cool way of making backgrounds. A great excuse to get the old Caran D'ache watercolour crayons out of their dusty boxes. I have had these for years and years and don't use them nearly often enough. You can see the video here

Fantastic work Astrid!
Fabulous piece of art Astrid - your background is divine! I've just watched the video and will be trying out this technique sometime. Thanks for the link.
Terrific creation Astrid, thanks for the video link, have just watched it. Brilliant. Now have to get some watersoluable crayons, so will be checking these out now. Annette x
Just popped back to say I've ordered some watersoluble crayons and if anyone is interested in the UK at www.whsmiths.co.uk clearance sale at 3.99 instead of
7.99 for a pack of 10. If you pick them up from one of their stores there is no p&p

You've applied the technique brilliantly, Astrid. I've achieved some interesting results with the watercolor crayons and baby wipes, but haven't tried the gesso. I may give it a go!
Very pretty!! I watched that video--looked like an interesting technique
Really really beautiful.
Fantastic painting. Love it.
Zauberhaft, wunderschön liebe Astrid, eine sehr interessante Technik, lieben Dank für das Video, werde ich mir in Ruhe anschauen.
