Excerpt from The Art of Drawing in Lead Pencil For the artist who seeks fine technique the penal is a pre-eminently fascinating medium. It is a Vital tool, sympathetic to the artist's every fancy or requirement a medium capable of rendering not only the most deter mined contrasts in light and shade, but if need be fifty intermediate tones of varying degree. Defective work is easily erased for correction and - what is some times Of greater advantage to the artist - the work may be joined up imperceptibly at any point, along any line or in the midst Of a flat tone, stopped without any anxiety as to blotting or spreading, while whole tones may with ease be darkened or even lightened at will.
