Description
The Conte Pastel Pencil is a 5 mm lead pencil that is preferred for soft pastel and crayons. It has a harder lead with less pigment, which makes it better for detail work in small and medium formats. Pastel pencil should not be added in successive layers of colors, but used as pure colors laid out in patchwork fashion side by side.
