Simple Techniques 2: Add Color

Another easy technique I like that makes an impact is adding some color. I enjoy working with chalk as it is more forgiving than markers and mistakes can be erased with a pencil eraser. It also quickly covers large areas and is easy to blend. I often use it for large areas rather than marker or paint. I like the smudgy look because it creates dimension and even movement in the image. Here is an example.

• Chalk can easily be erased with a pencil eraser. 
• I do not seal the chalk with a fixative or other product since I'm not using a lot of chalk nor layering. 
• Extra balls can be made from cotton balls or I purchase white balls from the pom pom section at the craft store.
