How to use

Select the desired color and sharpen the pencil to a comfortable point using a suitable sharpener. Apply light pressure for pale tones and increase pressure for more saturated color. For blending, layer colors gradually and use short, controlled strokes or circular motions to achieve smoother transitions. Store pencils horizontally or in a pencil case to protect the leads and maintain even wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a quality sharpener and avoid excessive pressure to reduce lead breakage. Combine colors for shading and depth, and keep the set in a dry place to preserve the wooden barrels. Supervise young children during use and replace any broken pencils as needed.
