Conté à Paris 2269-2302 Sketching & Drawing Pencil

An exceptional and extensive range of pencils, including both traditional and unique leads for maximum versatility in line, tone and intensity.

Pierre Noire Pencil - a soft lead with a black that is dense, deep, indelible and matt. It is much appreciated for its use on all types of supports, including sketch pad, craft paper and linen canvas.

Graphite Pencil - particularly smooth, this pencil will not scratch your support but slides over it.

Carbon Pencil - derived from traditional charcoal, but much stronger, this lead does not crumble or leave your hands dirty. Its delicate and highly detailed finish enables all types of perspectives to be drawn accurately.

Charcoal Pencil - this gives the clean, dense finish of an intense black. Its special characteristic is that it does not break, making it easy to transport. It also blends perfectly with iron red and Sepia Pencils.

Sepia Pencil - this gives a color reminiscent of burnt umber. It shades easily and when sharp gives an accurate and delicate finish. With a half-worn lead, the finish becomes more opaque as the pressure exerted on the pencil increases.

Sanguine Pencil - The color of the Conté à Paris "Sanguine" pencil is a deep "rust" and its lines are easily blended.

White Pencil - best used with a sharp lead, this pencil gives a clear line with a transparent color.

Graphite Lead - a hybrid tool, this is a solid graphite lead in the form of a pencil.
