Description

The exceptional diameter of the Conté à Paris pastel pencil (5 mm) lead gives genuine freedom of creation and has an unrivalled feel. 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 (so as not to dull the shades).

The set of 12 and 24 are supplied in tin boxes and the set of 48 is in a cardboard box.

  • Superb set

    Great set of colours all on one level in a large square(ish) shape tin. These are large diameter pencils with a thick core. Excellent for expressive work and strong enough that they can be sharpened with a decent sharpener ( I recommend using a rotary sharpener).

  • Good for portraits

    I find the conte pencils to be really good value, 48 is the whole range,  the lines come out velvety and precise easy to sharpen. I like these pencils for high definition work, and use soft pastels for blending can also use the shavings from either thick barrel, thick, sturdy pigment, easy to sharpen and file i use derwent, caran and conte pastel pencils and i find these best for portraits and animal drawings also makes a nice combination when paired with acrylics

  • BEAUTIFUL!

    I have been looking for these chalk pencils for a long time, and at last
    i found them on your site. They are just wonderful, and i really enjoy using them, very therapeutic for me and lovely colours.
