Conté crayon on charcoal paper. This represents a return to using conté, a medium I haven’t used in about 10 years. In order to get back into the groove of using it, I’m doing a few experimental pieces that blend my love of cubism with some aspects of realism and portraiture. I especially want to thank Lissa Redshaw, whose purchase of several of my experimental cubist pencil works helped me buy the supplies for this present series.
