These drawings were made my Georges Seurat with conte crayon on paper. I thought both of these drawings demonstrated very well what we are learning in class about value and tone, and even mark making. The first one definitely shows where the light is coming from and how bright the light is, almost engulfing the figure in its atmosphere. His style is very soft and almost abstract. He used the process of layering and erasing the conte to create his marks and allow the papers texture to come through and be part of the drawings. Both of the drawings are very still and peaceful. I think the bottom one is more dark and isolated and that goes very well with the lack of variation of value. The dark values are very similar but still stand out in a very subtle and delicate way. I like both of these drawings a lot and i think his technique can be applied to any form, from fruits to figures, and with medium from charcoal to pencil.
