•Children’s Art Projects: Wax crayons are widely used by children for drawing, coloring, and experimenting with different textures and techniques.
•Layering and Blending: Artists can layer crayons on top of each other to create textures or gradients. By applying pressure, you can make the crayon marks more pronounced.
•Sgraffito Technique: This is a method where artists apply a layer of wax crayon to a surface, then cover it with a layer of dark paint. By scratching the dark paint away, the lighter crayon underneath is revealed.
•Resist Art: In this technique, you can use crayon to draw on paper or canvas, and then apply watercolor or liquid paint over the top. The wax resists the paint, leaving behind the crayon marks visible.
•Mixed Media Art: Many artists use wax crayons in conjunction with other mediums like watercolor, markers, or acrylics to add texture and depth to their artwork.
•Decorative Items: Wax crayons can also be used on fabric (in fabric-specific versions) or for creating designs on candles, though this requires special care to avoid damaging the surfaces.
