Faber-Castell : Pitt : Monochrome Crayon : Burnt Umber

Faber Castell PITT Monochrome crayons are designed to be used for sketches and figure drawings. They are perfect tools for the traditional discipline of producing figure drawings in a coloured mid-tone (often sanguine) which is then highlighted with white and darkened in shadows. Exercises in draughtsmanship like this were carried out by apprentices across Early Modern Europe.Crayons designed for this kind of exercise are harder than conventional pastel crayons. The lines cannot be blurred completely, though some of the pigment can be moved across the paper. This crayon is of the following colour: Burnt Umber.
