The leads of the Carrés Esquisse Sanguine, Bistre, Noir and Blanc Conté à Paris are slightly softer than those of the Crayons. As their name suggests, a simple sketch or an entire mono or polychrome work can be made with these Carrés.
Perfect for sketches, portraits or studies of movements, this pastel also goes well with other techniques such as charcoal or ink.
The Conté à Paris Squares can be sharpened using a utility knife, but it is often better to file them with sandpaper or a nail file.
