The Conte Pastel Pencil range is excellent for toning. Rich in pigment, there are 48 colours in the range. Larger than most other pastel pencils, Conte Pastel Pencils have a very fine, smooth lead. Suitable for all coloured papers, with the intense opaqueness more evident when used on darker coloured paper.

Cased in a durable hard wood, Conte Pastel Pencils are easily sharpened to a point for fine detailed work but can be laid down heavily and create effective blocks of colour.
