How to use

Begin by selecting base tones for the larger areas and gradually build up layers using light pressure for initial passes. For smooth transitions, apply successive layers with slightly different hues and increase pressure for burnishing where full coverage is needed. Use a sharp point for fine details and edges, and a blunter tip for broader strokes. When combining with other media, allow underlying layers such as watercolor or ink to dry fully before applying Chromaflow pencils to avoid smudging or pigment migration.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally to maintain even core integrity and keep them in a dry environment. Use a quality sharpener that minimizes breakage of the core. Test colors and blending techniques on a scrap of the same paper before working on a final piece to confirm desired results.
