Conté à Paris Pastel Pencils with 12 Assorted Colors, Black

Great for doing my pastel paintings along with my Carbothello pastels. Makes some colors more vibrant, that I couldn't achieve with the carbothello alone.

Conté crayons are my favorite, especially the various sanguine variations. These, however, are true pastels, so if you know pastels, then you will know what you are getting. If you do not know how pastels act, then you may be puzzled at first by the granulation and the sharpening. Be patient. Conté is the best.

Pros:Have a wonderful “tooth” when applying color to a drawing on many types of dry media paper. Colors are easily blended with a tortillion or by using rubbing alcohol and a brush of your choice to achieve watercolor like and color feathering effects.Cons:Several pencils arrived with broken cores that took several sharpenings (I recommend a Derwent Pastel Sharpener for consistent sharpening results) before I found the intact core.

We use these pencils frequently in our art class. Have to keep eyes out to ensure our art teacher doesn't take them!

I love that the colors are so vibrant and the softness of the pastel is wonderful

Pedí estos lapices usados, es la primera vez que compro usado y realmente estoy muy satisfecha. El producto está en perfecto estado. Es una manera de cuidar el planeta.

As with my previous collection of Conté pencils, these are perfect for my needs. The tin is a bonus.

I accidentally got these pastels while looking for colored pencils by conte, but that's my own fault. These are very nice and I'm sure I'll use them when I learn more about the right way to use pastels. They seem authentic to me and we're packaged nicely!

Crayons pastel de très bonne qualité. Adhèrent très bien au papier.

I love these thick pastel well-pigmented pencils with bright colours!Only problem, the box contained a Pink (no 011) pencil in the place of Flesh (no 048).Thus, declared box content and actual content do not really match! 😢That's a pity for an otherwise good product.

Ik was op zoek naar betaalbare pastel potloden en had al conte krijt en goede ervaring mee dus dese set besteld.Mooie kleuren materiaal stevig mooie brede potloden en bijna effect zelfde als krijt.Enige euvel is dat ik een passende puntenslijper moet zien te vinden.Mijn allerlei verschillende punten slijpers kunnen deze niet slijpen 🙈gezien dat mensen deze dan met mesje slijpen maar dat ik s niet ideaal.Bij meerdere kleuren de pech dat blijkbaar de stift gebroken is wat maakt dat de punt alsmaar los zit

Dada la fragilidad de estos lápices, debería mejorar el embalaje de envío de este producto.Pero el producto es tal y como se describe.

Já uso produtos da marca desde de 2011 principalmente os lápis da linha Pierre Noir, sempre gostei da qualidade e com esse kit não foi diferente.São bons lápis pasteis, como já tenho muitos de outras marcas não me interessei em comprar um kit maior, eles se assemelham ao Pitt da Faber mas são um pouco mais macios na hora de desenhar e acho o pigmento bastante miscível quando se comparado à outras marcas.São ótimos lápis apesar de existirem opções com melhor custo beneficio disponíveis, em uma boa promoção vale a pena se arriscar numa compra.
