Chapter 2: Conte crayon ® in Sal-Zar Medium™

In Sal-Zar you move the Conte crayon ® to a new height.

Little correction is possible with Conte crayon. Sal-Zar is a unifying medium. Rising Stonehenge® is a paper I have used exclusively when working with the Sal-Zar Medium. Conte crayon in Sal-Zar is not suggested as a replacement for the traditional use of Conte crayons. Do your finest drawing using Sal-Zar and after you have done the image in Sal-Zar, and it is completely dry, say two days later, re-coat the image with Sal-Zar, removing the excess Sal-Zar by using a large pallet knife. I believe the slight ambering of the paper when Sal-Zar is applied benefits the stark-white Stonehenge paper itself. It doesn’t affect the image or the paper.

Sal-Zar is impervious to any product that is spilled or applied on top of Sal-Zar. To determine this you can test by lifting the image out of the paper by slicing into the paper with a razor blade; you will see the image created with the Conte crayon stick is permanently part of the paper, and has been bound therein by the Sal-Zar Medium

The molecules of the Conte crayon are bound to the molecules of the Sal-Zar Medium™; Sal-Zar is light fast and non-photo chemically reactive.
