## Long description

Caran d'Arche 1284.712 is a 12-piece pencil set presented in a metal box and designed for writing, sketching and colouring. The set contains assorted soft-coloured leads with a Ø 2.8 mm diameter for smooth strokes, accurate lines and effective shading. Pencils are made from premium FSC-certified cedar wood and varnished in the same colour as the lead. Leads are soft, water-resistant and have good lightfastness with a high pigment concentration, making them economical to use. The product is packaged in Switzerland and complies with CE safety requirements.
Advantages
Soft, thick leads (Ø 2.8 mm) deliver smooth, expressive lines and reliable shading while remaining precise enough for detail work. The high pigment concentration and good lightfastness ensure lasting colour intensity, and water-resistant leads give increased durability for mixed-media applications. Cedar wood construction with a coloured varnish provides comfortable sharpening, reduced splintering and a consistent visual appearance. The metal box offers secure storage and portability for home, school or travel.

How to use
Select the pencil colour required for your task and sharpen using a suitable sharpener for thick leads to obtain a clean, accurate point. Use soft pressure for smooth, even strokes and increase pressure or layer colours for deeper tones and stronger shading. For mixed-media work, the water-resistant lead allows light overpainting with water-based media once the drawing is dry. Store pencils in the metal box to protect the tips and maintain colour consistency.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use a sharpener designed for thick cores, keep a range of tonal values by layering colours, and test water-based techniques on a sample sheet before applying to a final piece.
