Drawing with Colored / Coloured Chalk
Coloured chalks are very simple mediums. Often the baby begins with a box of coloured chalks as a step toward the colour-box.
Chalk does not trickle about the paper like water-colour, and is, moreover, a very direct medium.
A red berry demands red chalk ; a blue bead demands blue chalk ; a skein of mixed silk or wool of blue, green, and yellow demands
blue, green, or yellow chalk.
By placing yellow against blue, or blue against green, or red against brown, we obtain a degree of shading, a mixing of tints,
which teaches us to blend our colours. Chalks should not be applied to the paper too heavily, but laid on with a lig.'" touch.
There is no need to point the chalks. By rolling the chalk in the fingers we can usually find a sharp little edge. Rub the chalk
on a piece of waste paper, and on one side only ; that will give a flattened side for sharp and decided drawing.
