a famous byword says: "The morning has gold in mouth!"
The first sketches of 2017. The firstone realized by "sanguigna"
a red ocher used to make crayons for drawing, much in
use since the Renaissance and from the Baroque to the pleasant color and the
nice smooth gradation. I really love this crayon, the touch and consistent is
wonderful. You can do what you want, and the colour is soft. So feminine.
There are different kind of "sanguigna" to realize this sketch I used:
+ Pencil Sanguigna dry can nuanced being at will and must be protected with fixative. It is' particularly suitable for making portraits, shadows and shades.
+ Pencil Sanguigna Fat requires no primer and is therefore particularly suitable to dripping or extemporaneous portraits.
The Sanguigna is
available both in the form of a square section rod which is formed by pressing
the powder, both as a mine of wooden pencils. The hardness is higher than the
graphite and the yield of light and shade is smaller than the charcoal.
You can find some pencil here:
There are a lot of wonderful artist very good in sanguigna use, if your looking for some inspiration :)
I hope to inspire you.
Have a great day to everyone!
