Conté a Paris Conte Crayons Portrait Set of 12

Conté Crayons or "Carres" are thinner and harder than traditional pastels, and are made from a blend of natural pigments, kaolin clay, and graphite. This unique formulation helps artists achieve a variety of effects in drawing, sketching, and pastel work. Set contains 12 colours well-suited for classic portrait drawing. The finely ground pastels provide particularly soft and smooth drawing.

Sticks are approximately 2.5" long × 0.25" square (63mm × 6mm).
