This set includes 10 assorted Soft Pastels from Conté à Paris.
The renowned square shaped "Carré" Crayons.
Color Crayons, also referred to as Conté à Paris carrés, are harder than pastels or charcoals. This hardness creates crisp, tight lines rather than the more smudged look of pastel and charcoal. They are produced from a highly rigorous choice of pigments, clay and a binder.
Conté à Paris color carré crayons give accurate and energetic strokes when the edges of the sticks are used, and artists can lay down large areas by using the flat side of the crayon.

Conté à Paris Pastel Pencils have an exceptional lead with an unrivalled feel. The perfect complement to soft pastels, combining precision and smoothness of application.
The exceptional diameter of the Conté à Paris pastel pencil (5 mm) lead gives genuine freedom of creation and has an unrivalled feel. The pastel is perfect pencil companion to soft pastel because its lead is slightly harder with less pigment. It is preferable to Conté soft pastels and crayons when detail is required for small and medium sized formats. In contrast with soft pastels, pastel pencil should not be added in successive layers of colors, but used as pure colors laid out in patchwork fashion side by side (so as not to dull the shades).
