Our finished wax resist pictures

A few weeks ago Miss Ash posted some photos of us working in art using a technique called wax resist. This is where you draw using wax crayons and then paint over the wax with a wash of black ink. The wax and ink do not mix and so most of the ink sits on the surface. The paper that is not covered with wax absorbs the ink and the paper turns black. Here are our finished pictures.
