Conte a Paris Sketching Pencil (Set of 6)

About this item:

• The pastel is perfect pencil companion to soft pastel because its lead is slightly harder with less pigment
• It is preferable to Conté soft pastels and crayons when details is required for small and medium sized formats.
• In contrast with soft pastels, pastel pencil should not be added in successive layers of colours, but used as pure colours laid out in patchwork fashion side by side
• These large diameter pencils have very fine, smooth leads that are rich in pigment. The presence of abrasives provides excellent toning and stumping qualities. Use Conté pencils to obtain a precise mark or line on a variety of papers. Pencils are pre-sharpened.
