Over the decades, the quality and depth of the Conte a Paris range has grown to offer a wide variety of techniques and effects that can be used for drawing, sketching and pastel work.
A tight spiral of fibrous paper rolled into a long point which can be used to blend, smudge or spread applied colour. The end can be cleaned by sharpening in a standard sharpener.
