How to use

Select pencils according to the color hierarchy you plan to achieve, starting with base tones and progressing to midtones and highlights. Apply light pressure for initial layers to build color gradually, then increase pressure or use burnishing techniques for saturated areas. For finer details, sharpen to a firm point; for broad coverage, use the pencil side or a blunt point. Combine Chromaflow pencils with blending tools such as a colorless blender pencil, tortillon or a soft tissue for smooth transitions. The pencils are compatible with common drawing papers and mixed-media supports; test layering on a scrap piece to determine the best pressure and blending approach for your surface.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally to maintain even pigment distribution and protect cores from breakage. Use a high-quality sharpener designed for colored pencils to achieve optimal point shape. When working in layers, allow light paper tooth to show for better adhesion of subsequent layers and consider fixing finished work with a workable fixative if combining with wet media.
