    In general a portrait of one person is 50 euros.This is a family portrait with four faces.Each face took around 30 minutes to draw.Total 2hours.The normal price would be 200 euros,but the artist may have given a small discount for this family portrait.

    There's nothing artificial about the artists featured in any your videos. RAW talent from REAL artists creating magnificent works of art (I include U, Davy, in this group). And now that I've watched UR videos, others who post similar vids seem, well, more glossy than substantive 2 me. There is also a WEALTH of information in this vid, Davy. In the first five minutes, U answered about half a dozen questions that I've been meaning 2 ask you for a long time! Beautiful portrait:0)

    @shysterlicious A conté stick is not held together with a binding of wood.In France they are branded 'conté carre':rectangular blocks,which,with usage develop a natural pointed end.Ajar uses a white conte stick in this vid,for the foundation layer of white,and for lightening the face and hair(I inaccurately refer to this as a conte crayon).Apologies!He doesn't use pastel in this drawing except
    for the hair.Many artists use the "Conte a Paris" brand of PASTEL crayons so it
    can get confusing

    I would like to say hello to Ajar. We met more than 2 decades ago. I was an aspiring artist at the time visiting Paris from Canada. Ajar was kind enough to give me a few sketches in addition to my portrait. I did try to reach him a couple of times many years ago long before the internet was popular with no success. There was something that made me do a search tonight and I was so happy to find this video. Thank you!

    Also, I was hoping you would do a video focusing on the work of "Ajar." In your video "A pastel portrait Tutorial from the 'Place du Tertre' in Paris", he did such a MAGNIFICENT job!

  • @DavyLimvideos
    @DavyLimvideos  13 лет назад

    @shysterlicious Real conté crayonsare are also made by the"conté à Paris" brand.
    The black ones have "PIERRE NOIRE" inscribed,and they are also available in various degrees of hardness(I like 2B)The advantage of conté crayons is the deeper
    blacks you can get out of them,and the crispness of line,but Ajar could have used pastel all the way through this portrait with equal effect.In actual fact tools aren't as important as you may think,its what the artist does with them that matters!

    How does Hamid keep his Conte Crayon (encased in wood) sharpened? I have one of those cylindrical pencil sharpeners that contains two different size holes, one for a regular pencil and the other for a bigger size barrel. Let me make a long story short, the lead broke off when I tried sharpening my Conte Crayon in it. How does Hamid do it? Thanks:0)

  • @shysterlicious
    @shysterlicious 13 лет назад

    @yvadmil Thanks Davy. This afternoon, I purchased 9 of the "PIERRE NOIRE" Conte Crayons (encased in wood). They are 5- 3B; 1-2B; and 3-HB. I inadvertently purchased two extra 3B's thinking they were 2B's (the lead designation on the pencils is quite small). I already had in my inventory a number of the Conte sticks and now I can't wait to use them!. Thank you for responding and I check your channel everyday for new videos. Take care:0)

    @shysterlicious Nobody on the sq. uses traditional pencil sharpeners,either for conte pencils or pastel.Get yourself a cutter from a hardware store.They have retractable blades which are extremely sharp (keep out of range of children) and ideal for getting a good point on the pencil.I am NOT refering to the (too)short-bladed Stanley knives.I have an Olfa cutter which I have used for years.Replacement blades are fortunately quite cheap because I change blades every 2 days.

    What is the difference between a Conte stick and a Conte crayon? In the video, the ones you refer to as Conte sticks are labeled Conte Crayons in the package that they came in. Is the pencil that you refer to as a Conte Crayon a Conte pastel? Thanks:0)

      Unfortunately I do not have the time, neither do the artists who work at Montmartre, who are full-time professionals. Hopefully you can learn from these and other videos. Good luck, and best wishes!

    What makes a Portrait drawing different !! Why people wish to pay 50 euros when they can just take a photograph ?
