Conté Sketching Crayons, Matchbox Set of 4

The Conté Sketching Crayons Matchbox Set is a classic—ubiquitous on drawing class supply lists and commonly tucked into traveling artists' sketching kits. The four basic colors of classical drawing are included: sanguine, brown, black, and white. Look in the drawings collection of any major museum and you'll see countless sketches and studies carried out in these four colors.

Conté is the brand name most closely associated with this type of smooth, hard pastel; in fact, many people call any pastel of this type a "Conte crayon." But this is the original, with a proprietary formula that lays down color easily, blends beautifully, and makes bold marks in a variety of shapes.

Made in France.
