Conte Crayon Sketching Set of 12 Colours

Unlock your artistic potential with this vibrant collection of 12 Conté Crayon Squares—your ticket to sketching magic! Crafted from premium natural pigments, kaolin clay, and cellulose binder, these pastels deliver ridiculously rich colors and buttery-smooth application. Whether you're doodling quick studies or diving into full-blown masterpieces, the velvety texture makes blending a breeze. From deep blacks and earthy sanguines to crisp whites, this complete sketch range has you covered for monochrome musings or colorful creations. Perfect for artists who refuse to compromise on quality or fun!

The White and Gray Squares are used in the same way as the Sanguine, Bistre, and Black Squares; however, they are intended for use in modifying the colors of the artwork or for negative drawing (a white square on black paper, for example).

This pastel, with its unique square shape, allows for versatile use: precise lines thanks to the edges, and powdery backgrounds and flat washes thanks to the side.

It is mixable with oil or acrylic paints and can be preserved with fixative spray.

Application: 

Experiment with backgrounds by working along the edges, or draw fine details with the corners. The firmer the pressure, the richer the texture.

Ideal for sketches, portraits, and movement studies, it also blends beautifully with charcoal or ink.

This 12-color set offers endless creative possibilities. Sanguine tones suit portraits and natural sketches, grays and blacks add depth and shadow, and white is perfect for highlights or soft gradients.

Sharpen with a utility knife, or refine the tip with sandpaper or a nail file for more control.

Set contains:

12 colors: bistre, Medici sanguine, Watteau sanguine, 18th-century sanguine, sanguine, white B, gray, black HB, 2x black B, 2x black 2B.
