Conte A Paris Sketching Pencils provide rich hues with line and shade possibilities to cover all sketching requirements.

• Pierre Noire Pencil: a soft lead with a black that is dense, deep, indelible and matt. It can be used on sketch pads, craft paper and linen canvases.
• Graphite Pencil: particularly smooth and glides over your surface.
• Carbon Pencil: much stronger than traditional charcoal, 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 colour 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 colour 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 colour.
