Only One You / Nadie Como Tu

During art, we looked at many different kinds of lines and patterns in the book Only One You / Nadie Como Tu by Linda Kranz before exploring the technique of RESIST with oil pastels and paint.

Then, we drew lines, shapes and patterns with oil pastels on watercolor paper. Straight lines, curvy, zig-zag, loopy, dotted, dashed…

For the RESIST technique to be successful, our challenge was to discover:

How hard or soft do you have to push when you are drawing with oil pastels?

How thick or thin do the lines have to be? 

When brushing paint on top of the drawings, how thick or thin does the paint have to be?

Which color combinations stand out the most?
