Talk:Conté

Untitled

this article says in the beginning that conte crayons weren't invented practically until the 19th century, but then later it says they were used by the old masters of the Renaissance. ?_?

I just took out that paragraph. Renaissance artists certainly used red chalk, but not the manufactured form of the Conté stick. __Just plain Bill 04:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Sanguine and sepia are different colors

Sepia is dark brown, originally from cuttlefish ink. Sanguine in this context refers to chalk in a variety of reddish colors. Article could also mention white, pierre noir, and bistre. Be back to fix it after a while... __Just plain Bill 01:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
