GLUE, GOUACHE, AND SOFT PASTELS

I love to "draw" with glue--just regular Elmer's, usually--and let it dry. The figure below was then enhanced with gouache. For those who haven't used it, gouache is like opaque watercolor, also called designer's colors sometimes.  Finally, when the gouache was thoroughly dry,  I used soft pastels.

Washable glue, the bluish kind that dries clear, is great for drawing on black paper.  It seems to make the paper look even more black when it dries! Here I added white gouache when the glue was dry, but gesso would work, too.

The soft pastels really seem to pop against the black, don't they?
