Today's coloring assignment is the last installment of the Color a Day Calendar discussed yesterday. Today, I wanted to test the quality of the new Crayola crayon formula. The company is now producing a waxier product with less pigment. This is both a blessing and a curse. The extra waxiness allows for an easier coloring experience but the medium upon which it is placed has a effect on the color saturation and blending capabilities.
The texture of the paper has a slight glossy texture and you can see here that the color isn't evenly distributed across the image. once a wax layer is placed down there is no way to blend it with another color or to layer color. Tomorrow, I will text out the crayons on a watercolor paper to see the effects.
