Thank you very much! You are an excellent teacher. It is so helpful to see complete video about conte'. I really appreciate your time, skill and kind teaching!
Is there any similar products to conte that I can use. I ordered a set of sketching conte crayons, but was wondering if there were any other options to use.
Yes, Sketching conte crayons work the same. They are just contained in wood. They have finer points so you don't get to cover as much space as quickly. The technique or layering and blending with the material is similar to chalk pastel.
Using pastel paper will give you the best results. Most Conte crayons have a waxy coating on the outside. Try getting through that layer for them to really get started.
Most thorough video on the subject I've ever seen.

Thank you so much for this! It has been difficult to find many good resources on working with conte. This was very helpful.
You are welcome! ❤️
This is so well explained! I had been looking for a long time for a video like this that explained conte! thank you.
Just FYI conte is made from graphite and clay. I mistakenly say chalk in the video.

I think I'm using too soft a paper for my conte as they are quite old.. Not sure how old they are to be useful
