How to use

Select a color and apply the paste crayon directly to dry paper for opaque coverage or to textured paper for varied effects. For smooth gradients, apply adjacent tones and blend with a finger, blending stump or a slightly damp brush. To create fine details, use the crayon edge or sharpen gently if the format allows. When combining with other media, test on a scrap to check adhesion and compatibility. Clean hands or tools between color changes to avoid unintended mixing.

Usage recommendations

Store the set in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Use heavier-weight or textured paper for best results with paste crayons; prepare a color test sheet before starting a final work. Allow layered passages to dry briefly if blending with a damp brush, and keep an eraser and blending tool nearby for corrections and softening edges.
