in adding more color the approach to application to this Nepalese Lotka paper has changed. One reason is the change of season with lowering temperatures and a couple days of clouds. The heat is on, I've set it to 72˚ F to help in keeping the crayons warm for ease in application. 68˚ F was hardening the crayon. Subtle. Today before taking this picture the sun was bright coming in on the crayons and the surface of the paintings at my table. The second effect is that this paper is very thin, tearing easily at the edge and where the jute cord runs. More noticeable in the cooler temperature with the harder wax. The temps will be warming up again to more the average temp here of 72. I can turn the heat off and go back to an easier application process....
