In this detail, you can see the PG background on paper, the PG on matte medium, and pencil on plain paper. The leaf edges were put in with 4B pencil - it matches the PG background. I left one leaf undone to demonstrate the results of erasing; I used an electric eraser to put the stem in the image and if you look between the leaves you can see a triangle shape of PG from the background that could not be removed. Removing graphite from the matte medium was not so difficult and of course it came away fairly clean from the pencil drawing. |
