Description

Conté drawing pencils shade easily and their lines are easily blended. With a sharpened lead, you achieve an accurate and delicate finish. With a half-worn lead, the finish becomes more opaque as the pressure exerted on the pencil increases. 

  • These pencils create beautiful nudes, portraits and landscapes, and can also be used for sketching.
  • They can be used alone or as a trio to create beautiful contrasts against white or coloured papers.
  • Available in: Sepia (for use on black or coloured paper), White (for use on black or coloured paper) & Sanguine (for sketches as well as complete finished works).
  • Length 176.5mm / Diameter 8.5mm / Lead diameter 5mm.

24th May 2020 Reviewed by K Heffernan

the pencils are much shorter than standard length pencils which i had not been expecting from the cassart presentation, so they appear to be poorer value for money. Also I did not receive all the different colours I ordered, instead received a duplicate, negating the range i had planned
