DRAWING with RED CHALK
On the Road to Painting

 

I use toned paper to draw on as its tonality is like that of an ‘underpainting’ --  a canvas lightly washed with color. To draw subjects on it prior to painting,  I use Red Conte Crayons as they don’t muddy applied paints (in contrast to charcoal & graphite pencil).   Consistent use of Contes for drawing on paper maintains swift, facile stroke capability transferable to canvas whenever needed.

 

The less drawing the better for painting. Thus in the portraits/ figures drawn in Red Chalk and presented here,
one will sense like economy & practicality.

Works feature bold color masses built up on paper with pastels quickly - much like with paint on canvas. Samples highlight the provocatively rich, dynamic, dimensional colors that result.
