Description
The Conté à Paris pastel pencil has a 5 mm diameter lead that gives artists a great deal of freedom when creating their artwork. The lead is harder than a soft pastel and is better for detailed work. Pastel pencil should not be layered with other colors, but used as pure colors laid out side by side to avoid dulling the shades.
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).
