This Set of Mont Marte Maxx0011 Signature Charcoal and pastel blenders add soft subtle shading that can bring life-like realism and dimension to your drawings. They provide a wide surface and are great for creating a transition of tones in large areas. Includes 4 paper stumps and 3 paper tortillons. Paper stumps have double-ended points and are larger than the tortillons. Tortillons are used for blending charcoal and pastels. They are smaller and thinner than the stumps and are ideal for shading in small areas or even adding fine details. To resharpen or clean the Tortillion carefully unwrap and tear off the paper at the pointed end. Fine sandpaper can be used to gently clean or resharpen the paper stump. Blend and create smooth transitions with these handy drawing tools. the paper stumps are made from compressed paper with a point on each end, while the tortillons are tightly rolled paper sticks that are ideal for precision blending.
