Conte Crayons

I found a new favorite medium to create my art; Conté crayons!  Conte' come in wonderful fall colors that I love. It has oil in it so it is easier to smooth out or blend with other colors.  As you can see in my art, I blended with other colors to create texture.  It was easier to erase to create highlights and to sharpen to create detail.  Im looking forward to working more with this new medium I love.
