How to use

Select pencils from the 36-color range and apply light, even strokes to build color gradually. Use layering and burnishing techniques to achieve richer tones and smoother transitions; apply lighter colors first and deepen values with darker tones. For fine detail, sharpen pencils to a fine point; for broader coverage, maintain a blunter edge and work with side strokes. Combine with blending tools or solvent if mixed-media effects are desired, and store pencils in the metal tin when not in use to protect the leads.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use mid-weight to heavy paper designed for colored pencil work and sharpen with a quality sharpener to avoid core breakage. Keep the metal tin closed during transport to prevent damage, and periodically rotate pencils to ensure even wear across the set.
