Sketching pencil Conte a Paris Sepia

The Conte a Paris Sepia pencil shades easily and its colour is reminiscent of burnt umber. With a sharpened lead, you achieve an accurate and delicate finish. With a half-worn lead, the finish becomes more opaque as the pressure exerted on the pencil increases. It can be used sparingly on its own but it can be blended with the Sanguine, White, Charcoal or Pierre Noire pencils for a more complex finish. Recommended for rough sketches, nudes (enables the most contrasted parts of the body to be shaded), portraits (emphasises and highlights the value of a face) and landscapes (intantly gives the colour of a tree trunk or the facade of a house).
