Between 1750 and 1756 the landscape painter Richard Wilson made numerous drawings of ancient buildings in and around Rome. He employed a variety of techniques, rubbing the chalk to create an indistinct haze and using a hard graphite point for fine detail. Wilson recommended the use of monochrome chalks to his students so that they would be ‘ground… in the Principles of Light & Shade without being dazzled and misled by the flutter of Colours.’
