There's another way to work with TITAN WATERCOLOR WAX CRAYONS: instead of diluting them with water, try doing it with a brush dipped in TURPENTINE ESSENCE. The result is somewhat more unctuous and textured than a watercolor finish, and it resembles some of the effects that can be achieved with oil paint (with the advantage that wax is always easier to control than oil). By using the waxes generously and drawing on tracing paper, this effect is even more accentuated. And remember that, with both water and turpentine, the richness of the strokes increases when using brushes of different sizes and shapes.
