Trying to figure out what medium I want to use. The choices are:
1. Charcoal
2. Watercolor
3. Hard Pastel
4. Graphite
5. Ink
6. Acrylic
There are a lot of thoughts and concerns for the medium to choose. I first was thinking charcoal, then ink… Now possibly acrylic. I would guess the biggest issue is when do I decide to stop and start cleaning up? That is only if I actually decide to go with acrylic. The easiest clean up would be fountain pen. I do believe that I need a harder tighter less absorbant paper with fountain pen. If I do go with charcoal it needs a paper that is an actual charcoal paper (not newsprint).

Mi-Teintes
Work on Mi-Teintes paper in Charcoal. Lay down a layer of charcoal using the pounce bag. Begin using vine charcoal starting with the biggest size diameter reducing down to the narrowest diameter. These variations of circles represent landscape perspective. Highlights are the pure paper with no charcoal. Use the kneaded eraser to remove the charcoal. Draw the figure.
