Conté à Paris - Sketching Pastel Carrés

Of the 84 shades available in the Conté à Paris range, 14 are crafted specifically for sketching. These Sketching Carrés are a traditional tool of artistic expression and remain the benchmark for pastels, chosen by artists for their versatility and slightly softer texture than pencils. Among the most iconic colours are Bistre, which enriches the Sanguine palette with a burnished brown; Sanguine itself, made with natural pigments for vibrant, monochrome red drawings; and Pierre Noire, a velvety, deep black available in HB, B, and 2B grades for everything from crisp precision to bold, expressive shading.
