I was looking for an explanation on the 3 crayons technique for a long time. This was the first I found which is very complete and understandable for everyone. Thank you Marc!
Just guessing, but this channel looks like it was put together out of the necessity of teaching during the pandemic. Whatever the case, thank you for making it all available publicly. I haven't seen such a thorough exposition of this technique as this one.
Thank you! And you’re exactly right. This channel was originally created for my students but the positive response from the wider community has inspired me to create additional, slightly more polished content.
Yes, thank you for letting us sneak into your class! I have always wanted to learn to draw but needed tons more practice than the usual, so I guess drawing classes scared me off a little and what I had found online went too fast for me Now I am waiting for my sketchbook and red chalk to arrive :)

I used to use white, black, and red terra cotta conte pastel sticks when I was a kid...had no idea this was an actual technique discussed. I just found they worked well together. I think I still have some of those conte sticks somewhere...think I will pull them out. I remember liking that setup because you barely had to bring anything...just a tiny hardshell pencil case and a sketchbook.
I absolutely love the look of value studies done on toned paper. I agree with your take on Reubens being the height of thia technique. I wanna say thanks bc even though ive been interested, i am entirely self-taught and lack any real life associates at all who are artists really, so finding info this specific is usually accidental; as it was that i stumbled upon your channel! I have subscribed now though for future reference.
Thank you for your subscription! I don't know where this channel is going (if anywhere) but it's really nice to know that it's helping people improve their art-making, and I'm looking forward to making many more videos like this one.
Thank you so much for this video? I’ve never been formally introduced to this method and really appreciate the knowledge! I recently acquired some conte and I had no idea that such a technique was based around the three colors! Makes total sense now! Thanks and great video🤘🖤🤘
Fantástico!!! Realmente disfruto con tus enseñanzas!! Que gramaje sería adecuado para los calcáreos? El Strathmore toned tan de 118 gramos iría bien para aceitosos. Es el bloc de color verde y cowboy en portada. También el mixed media de 300. Gramos , toned tan de Strathmore..? Gracias
¡Muchas gracias! Sí, el Strathmore 118 g es perfecto para los lápices a base de aceite. Es lo que usé para la demostración. El papel de técnica mixta de 300 g no lo he usado y no podría decírtelo.
Thank you for this video.Might the comparatively limited colour palette of the three crayon technique perhaps provide an important transitional stage between graphite/charcoal and coloured pastels?
Thank you 😊 I have the Rembrandt white oil and it’s the brightest, looks like I’m getting the soft pastel too. I don’t work with soft pastels much, but this is a must have for those tiny bright highlights!!! I work with conte and pastel pencils, just not the big soft ones
On a little side note, I think Holbein jr. was earlier than Clouet in this 3 color technique but anyway, very nicely done and interesting demonstration, thank you for sharing.
@@mkompan Yes, you're absolutely right, my mistake, I did a search and Holbein the younger was effectively influenced by Clouet through a travel in France (also interesting in this regard that the two courts, of France and England, were these artists respectively worked, became enemies, so maybe Holbein instead of Clouet (who did a portrait of Mary, queen of Scots, stepsister of Elisabeth I) , was preferred as a painter to the English court because of this? ).
So I did a drawing based on the last example you provided ( Rubens' style right?) And from my conte a Paris set, I used what looks like a gray stick, #2457 and I rubbed it all over my white paper. After this I rubbed the hb 2460. Then, I used the white #2456. I sketched the face with the stabillo 1400/750. And after I had also added the shades, I went all over the face with the conte white 630, following by the conte sanguine. I had made the mistake of going too hard while shading with the stabillo as well as the sanguine. So I had to add several layers with the white chalk. But I was lucky my model has a pale complexion and an even white tone, based on that given light on her picture, throughout her face. I also had the dilemma of whether to add sanguine or black to certain shadows, like those on the chin, near the eyes. And when I'll add the shadows with the black pencil, they'll look too dark.. However, compared to my graphite/ charcoal sketches, this one looks more alive, realistic. Your drawing and its tones look more subtle, though. I'm more familiar with the sanguine method. Howeve I do draw the hair and its details, as I did with the Rubens ' method with the black pastel.
I'm glad you're trying these techniques, Sergio! The key is not to always draw what you see. I think it's good practice to make the shadows touch redder than they are, and to avoid going too dark. Copy a lot of Rubens drawings--it's the best way to understand how he drew.
I’ve noticed that in this technique with feels both rather harsh, as in cold and very bight - I’ve found using a very light cream ie Carbothello 1400/105 to replace white seems to be far more ‘comfortable’ the tone is note as bright and it’s warmer …I feel more in control of my drawing and the whole thing feels more balanced.
Thanks for this note. I should have mentioned that many white chalk pencils actually contain titanium white, a bright, opaque pigment with a cool tint. Natural chalk pencils are more transparent, and therefore softer.
Do you apply any fix on the drawing when done? Can parts be fixed and then some pencil\chalk added later over that fix? any tips or how-to's would be very nice!
With the first approach, you can apply spray fixative in stages, and then continue working without problems. It's not really necessary with the second approach, because oil based pencils don't really smudge, though you could still do it. I would avoid fixative with the third approach, unless you're doing it in the very early stages, because once the pigment is built up, the fixative is no longer effective unless applied very heavily, and then it will change the colors in your drawing. I'll have to make a video on fixatives and other ways of protecting your drawings.
You're welcome! Sorry, I don't know of any pencil extender that fits Conte pencils. II use an X-acto knife to narrow the back of the pencils so they fit into standard extenders.
Graphite is very slick and will resist the chalk pencils you place on top. It might work with some of the waxier pencils however. If you need something very light to start with, I recommend using vine charcoal, or just a very hard charcoal pencil.
Thanks again for this. But a silly question: how do you tell between oil or wax crayon?? Ah yes, canson mi-tinte are horribly expensive even in Belgium. Kraft is the paper we go for here. Do you not have it in the states? Thanks Ps: do you put your hand on the paper?
Are you asking how to tell whether the pencil is oil based or wax based? From what I understand this is a false dichotomy. These things are closely guarded industry secrets, but all waxy/oily pencils contain a complex combination of waxes and oils. As for paper, Canson is probably just as expensive here in the US. We do have Kraft paper, and it has a very nice color for this technique. Art materials are remarkably standardized across the world, with the market dominated by just a few brands. I go to Europe frequently and am always disappointed that I can’t find local, unique supplies in the art shops.
These techniques work with any dry media. You’ll probably have the greatest difficulty with watercolor pencils, since they tend to be very transparent. However, it will work with soft and oil pastels brilliantly.
@@mkompan thanks for the response, oh, today I experimented with soft pastels the technique and it worked very well, it gets very expressive. But I don’t do much the deal with conte pencils, or even with watercolor, pastel pencils like what suits best, can you give some orientations ?
@@cassidavinci7714 not sure what you mean by orientations. Are you asking which materials to use? One material is not better than the other. It depends on what you want out of your artwork. I wouldn’t use watercolor pencils for this, since they’re not really designed for working on toned paper.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your question. Are you asking about the first technique? The color of the background should be similar to skin tone, a light brown, grey or slightly pink.

Is conte just chalk? Or do they differ? It seems with all the talking people do about conte crayons no one simply says it is or isn't simply chalk pastel.
Conte sticks are a type of chalk pastel, but have a unique formulation that makes them somewhat harder, denser and “stickier” than regular pastel pencils, probably because they contain some amount of wax. The confusion is that Conte also makes chalk pastels.
Prismacolor pencils are wax-based, not oil-based. This is why it resists the conté pencil. Instead, try the Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, which are oil-based.

This is an excellent video and great breakdown of technique. Me personally I hate paper stumps. I would honestly recommend a bristle brush better.
Thank you. Stumps have their place. I
Like to gently roughen them with sandpaper. That gives them a softer surface that is better for blending.
Thank you for this video.Might the comparatively limited colour palette of the three crayon technique perhaps provide an important transitional stage between graphite/charcoal and coloured pastels?
You’re welcome! This is indeed a great training method for full color drawing.
Loved this. I slowed it down to 75% speed so I could enjoy it more. 🙏☮️❤️🖖
Thank you! Glad the speed adjustment worked for you.
The 6 colors can have sub-media : wash, Pan-P,,stick pastel., white paint,etc,etc
You can use these three colors in any media, really.
Très intéressant. Technique tombée dans les oubliettes... Je m'abonne bien sûr.
