Day two hundred and ninety-nine: A teacher from the University of Pennsylvania brought her class of artists to look at a group of amazing drawings in the study room today. I spent two sessions looking at them, and listen to her and her students discuss them in depth. I was inspired to try a fresh medium and style: conte crayon and using no lines, only tone. This subject is one that I’ve sketched before, probably because the the man and baby from the Vigeland Sculpture park has been my the desktop image on my computer for awhile. Even though I didn’t leave enough room for the man’s face, I like this latest version quite a lot, although I must confess there are a few lines within the picture made with the black conte crayon or my eraser.
