This technique is excellent for color touch-up on paper/card surfaces. |

I have not finished though. I intend on trying all the suggestions in this topic and see how they fit in with edges, folds, corners and so on. I am sure it is not one-size-fits-all. I was really pleased with the colour mixing too mate. Actually surprised how well it turned out. Thinking about trying crayons and the acrylics next on my guinea pig tower. Cheers and catch you in the forums. Thanks again for your kind words and tips. Jim |

Great job concealing those edges, Piper!
The water-soluble pencils are a nice solution - you get two textures (dry and wet), plus the ability to do some mixing of colors through layering. |

I think my biggest problem with the dry pencils was that I had to rub and rub and rub to get the colour from the pencil onto the model. This produced a lovely shiny area. But like all things, practice makes pefect. Need to build a couple more of the simpler Ray Keim towers to practice the crayons and arcrylic paints on though. Cheers and catch up with you in the forums. Jim |

Thanks for this tip mate. I was also going to buy some of these crayons yesterday but do you think I could remember "caran d'Ache neocolor II artists' crayons" Too many syllables for me to remember for a box of crayons. Cheers Jim |

Something I noticed with the Prang pencils I mentioned earlier is that when I dip them quickly in water to get the color to flow I found that the areas where some dried PVA glue over an unsightly white space is showing can get colored too. I have tried to color some mistakes like that using dry pencils but it did not work. The wet pencils work good in most cases.

Good job on the question Piper, this thread has turned out great with LOTS of great ideas to try!
By the way, the towers came out great, good job hiding the dashed lines.
