Conte a Paris Drawing Pencils

Particularly well suited to portrait and landscape drawing, these pencils have extremely rich colors with an added abrasive for easier stumping. They may be sharpened with a razor blade or knife.

Sepia Pencil: this gives a colour reminiscent of burnt umber. It shades easily and when sharp gives an accurate and delicate finish. With a half-worn lead, the finish becomes more opaque as the pressure exerted on the pencil increases.

Sanguine Pencil: The colour of the Conté à Paris “Sanguine” pencil is a deep “rust” and its lines are easily blended.

White Pencil: best used with a sharp lead, this pencil gives a clear line with a transparent colour.
