Conte a Paris Esquisse Carre Set Sanguine

Product Description:

The Conté à Paris Esquisse Carre Set Sanguine Crayon is crafted from natural pigments for rich, vibrant color. Its soft, high-pigment texture is ideal for quick sketches, portraits, and monochrome or polychrome studies. The unique square shape allows both fine lines and smooth shading. Suitable for use on medium-weight paper, it blends well with oil or acrylic and can be preserved with fixative spray.

Features:

• Deep sanguine color
• Silky texture with a powdery finish
• Perfect for precise sketches, quick studies, portraits, and movement drawings

Usage Tips:

• Experiment with background shading using the flat sides of the square, or create fine, detailed lines with its sharp edges. The firmer the pressure, the denser the pigment application.
• Ideal for sketches, portraits, and natural studies, this pastel also pairs beautifully with other techniques such as charcoal or ink.
• Sanguine tones are especially well-suited for portraits and lifelike sketches.
• Conté à Paris Pastel Squares can be sharpened with a utility knife, though sanding with sandpaper or a nail file is often preferable.
• For best results, use on medium-weight paper. For more inspiration and techniques, visit the Tutorials section.
