Conté à Paris Sketching & Drawing Pencils, Set of 6, Sanguine Assorted

Product Description Sanguine is commonly used in sketching to outline the body. For more elaborate work, it is recommended to add Black Stone to accentuate contrasts and White Pencil to highlight areas of light on the body. Its color is a deep red, varying on rust.
