Question: What Tools Did Artist Use To Set The Tone?

Answer 1

The tone in an artistic context refers to the light and dark values used to render a realistic object or to create an abstract composition. When using pastel, an artist may often use coloured paper support, using areas of pigment to define lights and darks, while leaving the bare support to show through as the mid-tone.
