Coloring with Block Crayons (book)

Coloring with Block Crayons: A Guide to the Art and Joy of Color

Discover the timeless art of drawing with beeswax block crayons — a medium that awakens creativity, strengthens will, and brings color to life in every classroom and home.

In this beloved teaching guide, Sieglinde de Francesca offers a clear, comprehensive introduction to block-crayon artistry using only the three primary colors. With warmth and gentle wisdom, she shows how beauty and simplicity can open a child’s imagination far more deeply than a box of many hues.

Inside you’ll learn:

• Foundational techniques for blending, layering, and shading with block crayons.

• Step-by-step guidance for drawing landscapes, people, animals, and weather.

• How to illustrate fairy tales, fables, and Main Lesson books with luminous color.

• Ways to nurture artistic confidence and reverence for beauty in young learners.

“At last, someone has written a beautiful, clear guide to teach yourself, and then your students, how to beautifully color with block crayons.”
— Nancy Parsons, Waldorf Books

With full-color examples, practice exercises, and inspiring insights for both teachers and parents, Coloring with Block Crayons is more than a how-to manual — it’s an invitation to rediscover the joy of color through a child’s eyes.
