Description
The Conte Carres line of sketching crayons are available in 84 colors and 14 tones, with a hardness rating of H or B. The crayons are made with natural pigments, clay, and a binder, and are then baked to varying degrees to create the different grades.
Conte crayons with their 6x6mm cross-section offer a range of 84 colours, 14 tones of which are specifically designed for sketching. The crayons are very soft to use and are manufactured using natural pigments (iron oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide), clay (kaolin) and a binder (cellulose ether), which are then baked after being extruded and dried. The degree of baking varies the grade (hardness:H/ softness:B) of the black and white crayons.
