Red Flower in Crayon

Description

I needed a pick me up and a change from my normal stuff - and so i decided to jump start the Crayon Challenge I currently have attempted to get going over on :iconunsungmediums:

This picture is ALL crayon EXCEPT for , obviously, the white frame and the signature. I'm probably not 'entering' it into the contest since i more than likely going to be judging. but i wanted to do one anyway.

Original Photo - hosted on Flicker

I found that i had several problems with this picture - first off, i think i used the wrong type paper. its so smooth and shiny that the crayon didn't want to take to it if i wanted darker colors. i actually had to layer stuff.

secondly, it scanned wrong when i tried to scan it - all the colors were off. i adjusted as best as i could. i seriously held the picture up against the screen as i was adjusting it, but if i fixed the reds and yellows, i lost the greens and browns....this was the best i could get as a medium. but, i think it looks good :)

Proof that you can get beautiful work with crayon - no matter what my college teacher said :)
