Girl with a Pearl Earring #1
This line drawing was transfterred onto a store bought and stretched canvas, using conte. I prefer using conte instead of carbon paper, or pencil as these mediums will often 'bleed' when solvents are applied, i.e. when laying in a toned ground. Be careful too, to use a book underneath the canvas when transferring - this makes up the difference the frame makes and let's you 'lean' on something when pressing down with the pen. For registering tips, take a look at the Mona Lisa line drawing description.
