For whatever reason I feel inclined to the conte. I liked all three for different reasons but felt most gravitated towards the conte because they are less precise and mechanical than the verithin, and stickier or less powdery than the pastel so the drawing grabs faster (I suppose that is why pastel artists use the sandpaper surface to work on). We practiced the technique with three different mediums which are pastel pencil, conte pencil and verithin pencils. In the workshop the three colors were black, red and white in the tradition of the old masters such as Rubens, etc. He is represented by the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco, the Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale and the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia.Last summer I took a three day 3 color chalk workshop with Rob Liberace at Studio Incamminati. He lives in Virginia with his wife, Lina Liberace, and their two daughters. from George Washington University where he originally attended school on a baseball scholarship, and later with art scholarships. Rob also has written informational articles for both American Artist and The Artist’s magazines.
