How to use
Select colours according to your design and sharpen pencils with a quality sharpener suitable for thicker leads to maintain the 2.8 mm core. Apply light layers for initial sketched outlines, then build up pigment gradually for deeper tones and smooth transitions. Use circular or cross-hatching strokes for even coverage and blend with a paper stump or gentle burnishing. The water-resistant leads can be used under light water washes once fixed, but test combinations on a scrap to confirm the desired effect.
Usage recommendations
Store pencils flat or in the original metal box to avoid breakage of the 2.8 mm leads. For best results, use a sharpener designed for thick cores and combine soft lead pencils with suitable papers (medium to heavy weight, slightly textured) to optimise pigment lay-down and blending behaviour.
