Descriptions Commentary A number of printmakers, beginning in the 1760s, developed the "chalk manner" (also called "crayon manner") technique for rendering imitations of pastel or chalk lines, most often used to create facsimiles of drawings. Chalk-manner prints were made in as many as three colors-black, red, and white-from one or more copper plates worked either in etching or engraving, or in a combination of the two. Special toothed tools such as roulettes were used to create dotted patterns on the plate that suggest the grainy appearance of chalk lines on paper. Demarteau was a master of the chalk-manner technique.
