Box of 48 Assorted Colored Squares
The Conté à Paris 48-piece set of colored pastels is ideal for all artistic needs. Whether beginners, experienced artists, or professionals, this selection allows all artists to explore a vast range of possibilities, from portraiture to landscapes.
The unique shape of the colored pastel allows for versatile use: precise lines thanks to the edges, and soft, powdery backgrounds and washes thanks to the side.
Its velvety texture and rich pigments allow for defining values, creating contrasts, and delineating areas.
Chosen by the greatest artists, such as Picasso, Degas, and Delacroix, Conté à Paris pastels have always been the benchmark in pastels.
Usage tips
Using the different edges and points allows for the creation of colored backgrounds as well as precise and detailed lines by varying the pressure (the firmer and more definite the pressure on the Square, the denser the resulting texture).
This makes them ideal for technical drawings, sketches, preliminary studies, or complete works of art.
The Squares can be mixed with other products in the range: soft pastels, pastel pencils, and sketching Squares, and are compatible with oil and acrylic paints.
They can be used on all types of textured paper (primarily semi-textured papers), canvas, or various other surfaces with a rough texture.
Use a fixative spray to finish your creations.
