Loved by both master artists and passionate beginners, the Conté à Paris Sketching Set is a go-to for expressive sketching. This versatile box offers a wide range of tones, textures and effects - ideal for quick sketches or detailed drawings. Inside, you’ll find richly pigmented pencils and squares made from natural materials like iron oxide, carbon black and kaolin clay. The squares are slightly softer than the pencils - perfect for layering, blending or creating full monochrome studies. Use Sanguine for figure work, Pierre Noire to boost contrast and White to pick out highlights. Each Sanguine shade in the set has its own unique character. Classic sanguine offers a warm and earthy tone, while Midici is reminiscent of the deep reds seen in Renaissance drawing. Sanguine XVIII is a lighter, more intense blood-like colour.
