Conte a Paris Carres Traditional Sketching Crayons

Conte Crayons, or Carre, being harder than pastels or charcoals create crisp, tight lines as opposed to the more smudged look of softer pastels or charcoal. Conte Crayons can be used in various ways to great effect and varying the pressure will increase or decrease the colour density. Conte Pastel Pencils compliment Conte Crayons perfectly and both blend beautifully.

Carres Crayons - Sketching Range

The sketching range is composed of various reputable red, grey and blackish-brown tints with 3 gradations of black and white to complete the range.

These 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). They 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.

Two special tints for portraits (rose and brown) were recently developed and enhance this "sketching" range.
