Baby Crayons, 5 x 7", oil on panel

On this painting I wanted to recreate how a child would draw…so for reference and inspiration I started looking up for children´s crayon drawings images. I decided to paint the crayon drawing from memory. The baby crayons are from the 1930´s-I bought it on ebay-…they´re very old but I found them an interesting subject to paint because of its age and design.

I love this Jose! The juxtaposition of the illustration and crayon drawing against the realism of the objects is stellar. I end up spending quite a bit of time on crayon textures so I can really appreciate the accomplishment here. Bravo my friend!
