Conte A Paris Sanguine Sepia, Open Stock
The colour of the Conte a Paris Sanguine pencil is a deep “rust” and its lines are easily blended. With a sharpened lead the drawing is accurate, the colour is transparent and if the work is lightly drawn the Sanguine pencil lets the texture of the paper appear. With a half-worn lead, the opacity increases with the pressure exerted on the pencil. Sanguine is frequently used in skteching to draw the body. For more complex work, it’s advisable to use Pierre Noire to emphasise the contrast and white pencil to highlight the areas of light on the body. Recommended for nudes, its colour recalls that of the skin when highlighted using white. Blending the colour creates the shading.

Conte A Paris Pastel Pencil Set of 12, 24 & 48
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 a perfect pencil companion to soft pastel because it's lead is slightly harder with less pigment. It is preferable to Conté soft pastels and crayons when detail is required for small and medium sized formats. In contrast with soft pastel, 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).
