Q&A for How to Create Wet Chalk Drawings

You should draw when the chalk is damp. That way if you are drawing outside, the chalk won't blow away in the wind and colors will turn out brighter.

Totally! That's a great idea! Make sure that you use several coats of chalkboard paint, and that you let it cure properly. If you use it too soon to draw in, the water might seep in and destroy the entire thing.

Use actual chalk because a pastel also has a bit of oil mixed in with the powder.

I would recommend using a mix of light and dark greens to add depth to your leaves! I would start with a light green base and then do some highlights in dark green.

Use a spray-on fixative for pencil, pastel, and chalk. (Krylon has a fixative spray.) If it's on wood, you can use a clear varnish after the fixative dries.

If using printer paper, yes. But there are many different types of paper meant for holding water. Try using multimedia paper.
