Glen's Crayon Art
Fine Art Lesson

Welcome to Glen's Crayon Art Homepage

I love to draw and create paintings with the very same wax Crayola crayons we used as kids. My goal is to create fine art using only those wax crayons and paper. 

I call it painting with crayons or crayon art.

For a short time when I was 8 or 9 years old, I  started art lessons with a well know teacher in Long Beach, CA, My wise teacher said to me, "You can make wax crayons look like oil paint if you work at it".....and I am still working at it.


These days, I've set up shop in beautiful, Lake Almanor, California, where the four seasons create a wonderful environment to exercise a wide variety of artistic mediums. With each new crayon painting, I strive to blend and layer the colors as you would an oil painting.  to create familiar scenes and textures out of these simple sticks of wax….the fur on a pet, a flannel cloth, a glass of beer, or a piece of fruit.


For the serious follower, click on the picture of me with the apple in the upper right. There you will be transferred to a step by step lesson on paining a green apple with crayons, in a “fine art” manner.
