“A cheaper Pastel pencil on the softer side but not creamy. Can sometimes feel gritty but blends really easily. Easily breaks when sharpening which is a pain.”
“A recent convert to Conte, needing a better quality pastel. Much richer colour and more durable than less expensive pencils. I’m in the process of replacing my old Derwent set. Very pleased with Conte.”
“Very clear white, works well on black cardstock.
But... a problem to sharpen, even with a Dahle sharpener.
The point breaks easy , you have to be really careful with them.
Those pencils are easy to blend.”
