Box of 12 conté square pastels

The Conté box of square pastels includes pigment rich pastels consisting of chalk and clay. The shades mix well and offer excellent resistance to light. Conté square pastels combine the easy strokes of pastel and the precision of a pencil. They are easy to use.    Supports:  coarse grain paper, pastel or watercolor paper, cardboard. Practical information:  A fixative sprayed on the drawing allows for its preservation. To frame a work, it is recommended that small cardboard elements or acrylic blocks be placed between the sheet and the glass in order not to have the glass adhere to the pastel.  Uses:  For shading off or blending two colors side-by-side, use fingers, chamois or a piece of paper.  Care:  Soap and water.
