Metal box 12 pastel pencils Conté á Paris assortment The exceptional diameter of the Conté à Paris pastel pencil (5mm) offers unique creative freedom and an incomparable feel. Made with selected pigments that provide lightfastness and considerable intensity. Ideal for artists, designers and students. Soft pastel is the perfect complement to pastel pencil, as its lead is slightly harder and contains less pigment. It is recommended to use soft pastels and Conté colored pencils when details are required in small and medium formats. Unlike soft pastels, pencil pastels should not be applied in successive layers, but rather used as solid colors tiled side by side (so as not to dull the tones). Brand: Conte
