Description
The Faber-Castell Pitt Monochrome Crayon Van Dyck Brown is a crayon designed for use in figure drawing exercises, specifically in producing a mid-tone figure drawing in a coloured sanguine (often white and darkened in shadows). The lines cannot be blurred completely, though some of the pigment can be moved across the paper.
Faber Castell PITT Monochrome crayons are designed to be used for
sketches and figure drawings. They are perfect tools for the
traditional discipline of producing figure drawings in a coloured
mid-tone (often sanguine) which is then highlighted with white and
darkened in shadows. Exercises in draughtsmanship like this were
carried out by apprentices across Early Modern Europe.Crayons
designed for this kind of exercise are harder than conventional
pastel crayons. The lines cannot be blurred completely, though some
of the pigment can be moved across the paper. This crayon is of the
following colour: Van Dyck Brown.
