Key specifications
Set size: 12 colored pencils
Lead type: pigment-based, water-resistant
Packaging: cardboard box for compact storage
Application: dry use with optional light water blending
Suitable surfaces: paper and mixed media compatible papers
How to use
Select the pencil color and apply with steady, even strokes for consistent coverage. For layering, build tones gradually to avoid wax bloom and achieve smoother blends. To use the water-resistant property for subtle washes, apply color lightly and work with a damp brush; test on scrap paper first to judge the water interaction. Keep pencil points well-sharpened for precise detail and use a soft eraser for corrections on suitable paper types.
Usage recommendations
Store pencils horizontally or in the provided cardboard box to prevent lead breakage. Use heavier-weight paper (120 gsm or higher) when combining with wet techniques to reduce buckling. When sharpening, use a sharp, well-maintained pencil sharpener to minimize core crumbling.
