How to use

Sharpen each wooden pencil with a suitable pencil sharpener to achieve the desired point for drawing or colouring. Apply light, even pressure for fine lines and details, or increase pressure and layering for richer colour and metallic effects where present. Combine these pencils with graphite, ink or other coloured media in mixed-media compositions; test blending and layering on a scrap piece of paper to confirm the visual effect before applying to final work.

Usage recommendations

Store the pencils in a dry place and avoid extreme temperatures to preserve wood and pigment quality. For best results when using the gold and iridescent tones, work on smooth, lighter-coloured paper to maximise reflectivity and contrast.
