How to make a wax resist watercolour painting inspired by Henry Moore

This is a tutorial designed to help you draw one of Henry Moore's sculptures using his wax resist drawing technique. Here you will learn how to use candle wax, watercolour and pen to observe one of Moore's sculptures with a focus on contrast, mark making and contour lines.

What kind of pen/marker were you using? Thanks for the video, first time I have ever seen this type of technique.

Thank you! I finish it off with a regular black biro to bring out darker tones and add extra contour lines, be careful though, as biro will easily cover up the wax (which can be a good thing if you have made a mistake!)

Where did you get that book from

[@slaughtersstudio5696]

Hello! It is a book by Andrew Causey called 'The Drawings of Henry Moore' published by Lund Humphries in 2010. It was a gift from friends so I am not sure where it is from.
