How to use

Use the pencils dry for standard drawing and coloring applications. For watercolor effects, apply color on paper and then brush over the strokes with a damp brush to dissolve and blend the pigment. Layer colors gradually to control intensity and allow drying between applications when building washes. The pencils can be sharpened with a standard pencil sharpener compatible with their diameter; handle sharpened tips carefully to avoid breakage.

Usage recommendations

Choose heavier-weight, watercolor or mixed-media paper to get the best results when using water to blend colors. Test blending on a scrap to gauge water amount and brush type before working on the final piece. Store pencils with lids closed and keep them in a dry place to preserve lead quality.
