Working with wax crayons
With a choice of just 8 colours, Pelikan wax crayons offer amazing composition possibilities. In addition to the crayons, we offer the Pelikan Colour Wheel for mixed shades. Beforehand we would like to show you the particularities of the water-soluble and the water-proof way crayons from Pelikan and make you acquainted with the Colour Card.
Water-soluble and water-proof wax crayons
Both types of crayons offer the same range of colours:
8 colours:
White for lightening; warm colours; cold colours; black for darkening
Überdecken und Mischen
The dark Pelikan wax crayons cover the light ones. If a dark colour is covered by a light one, a mixed shade is produced.
Dark covers light but light mixes with dark. A child's picture done with Pelikan wax crayons
Pelikan Colour Card
The Pelikan Colour Card helps when mixing and clarifies the individual components of a composition colour. Many combinations can be tried out with the Colour Card. For this purpose, a circle is made with one colour (first colour) and another circle with a different colour (second colour). In the third circle (third colour), the first and the second colours are applied together resulting in a combination colour.
