self portraits

We made self portraits this week for our family night.  I purchased these Crayola brand oil pastels crayons and multi-pack canvas for $7.99 (don't forget your 40 % coupon) at Hobby Lobby.  I recommend practicing first with the pastels on scratch paper and  do not outline your drawings with the darker colors first b/c these pastels are meant to blend.  The girls really enjoyed this medium.  Our next project is to use acrylics, our other canvas and masking tape to make a shape collage.
