Doing a drawing a day from the masters is not all that easy, especially when each of them have their own technique. The type of drawing that I find most difficult to do are those that have been done with red chalk, a type of dry pastel. So I thought that conté would work well, only to discover that it is a pretty unforgiving medium. Once you have made a mark with it, it leaves a permanent mark on the paper, not like graphite or vine charcoal. But, the results are very striking provided that you got the drawing correct.
