- A narrated 14 minute video of a self portrait using color Conte crayons on color paper. My goal is to balance realism with a loose (painterly ) approach. Art is an experience, a language form and a form of communication. With this drawing I seek an understand of the materials and how they play a role in the creative process.
Materials I used ( Affiliate Links ):
Conte Crayon Set - 24-Color Set : amzn.to/3rENzvh
Strathmore 400 Series - Assorted tints 12 in. x 18 in : Strathmore 400 Series Artagain Pad, Assorted Tints, 12"x18

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so generously ❤
Really good, thank you 😊
What a magnificent drawing! 10000s of videos in CZcams but so difficult to find such a great style as this!
Love the toned paper/Conte combo! It's definetly bolder than coloured pencil ❤️
Thanks Liz. It's all about trade offs isn't it? I'm a firm believer in testing out new mediums and seeing what they do.
Beautiful work, love watching your process.
Spell-binding use of colour. Very much appreciated
Your style is magnificent!
very beautiful!
Oh wow I thought conte only came in Black, white and burnt red. I had no idea. I'm about to get back into drawing with conte. Thanks for this video. It was helpful and informative!
Nice about the swatches. Now to absorb(understand) what's going on.
I like to put conte on stonehenge paper
While I like the sets of Conté Crayon, once a particular color is used, it might be hard to replace-my favorite is the Ultramarine color which is actually a medium to light similar to periwinkle. I cannot find it even when some resources sell individual sticks. Do you have problems replacing certain colors? if so, how do you deal with it? Wonderful drawing demo. I like the Conté because it works so well like and with charcoal.
This is brilliant! How’s conte different from other crayons like Neocolor or crayola?
I think the swatches should have come with small examples of effect( mood,intent,the things you mentioned,light,... obtainable.
I have lots of pastels yet not a fan of them yet !!!! The shows in NYC feel like a graveyard.
Not bad.
