That is fascinating to see the process at work with the use of an infrared camera!
Seeing the multiple results involved in using the same cartoon is also very informative. Thank you!

Where did she get the red and black chalk from?

[@sylvanabarrett9041]

ferretace Hi, Its hard to find natural black chalk, which is actually carbonaceous shale by the way. It needs to be fresh to work well; as it drys out it is less usable. It was once a common material but rarely used today; it is beautiful to draw with by the way. You can usually get some from Kremer Pigments, though it is expensive. The natural red chalk is a clay it can be hard so you need to try several different sources until you find a good one that's soft enough to draw with. Its kind of like natural bole.

I've been an artist for over 50 yrs . I went to art school for many years and studied many artists.To me my art is a very personal way of expressing my self and stopped showing my work many years ago . I can't understand the value in art eg millions of dollars etc . The best artist I've seen was a young autistic kid who was in a drawing class and never showed his work . I paint and draw mostly abstract but will draw some realism as well . I find it like meditation and often spend a whole night on several works. My personal philosophy is that when I'm gone so my art can disappear like me in the bin . Art for art sake or as someone once said The Shock of the new.
