I did this drawing almost year and a half ago. It was one of my technique research works. If you have seen my previous posts, I'm trying different styles and techniques just to experience it.
This drawing was made by white conté which is like pastels but a bit different as texture.
Conté, also known as Conté sticks or Conté crayons, are a drawing medium composed of compressed powdered graphite or charcoal mixed with a wax or clay base, square in cross-section.
INSPIRATION
I was searching some artworks in internet and suddenly I saw an amazing sculpture that affected me a lot. It was obvious that it was inspired by Klimt's "The Kiss." I think, at that moment I was looking for the peace that I have discovered in the face of the girl. I decided to draw, create or somehow work on it. I was thinking what to use, what paper, what pen, what style... suddenly I remembered that I would like to try the conté crayons. The paper that I chose for this work was a green 150 grams cardboard. In order to keep the sculpture effect I used only white colour.
It wasn't easy to manage the crayon as it was basicly a dust but it gave me a liberty to erase anything I want or I don't want. In the end I fixed it with a basic hair sprey, I learned that it is very common to use hair spreys to fix artworks.
I'm not very happy with the hands but anyway I like it. I was very attached to this drawing as it was reflecting my emotional situation at that time but finally I gave it as a gift to someone which probably has already lost it!
I hope you like it, thanks for your time!
PS: COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO CENTER THE IMAGES AND LEAVE SPACE BETWEEN IMAGE AND HEADARS ON HTML???? I spent two hours to find out and still nothing :)))) Thank you very much.
