How to use

Select the desired pencil and sharpen with a suitable sharpener to expose a clean point. Apply colour with varying pressure to obtain light washes or stronger tones; layer colours to blend and create intermediate hues. Use a pencil with a blunt tip for broader coverage and a sharpened tip for detail work. Store pencils horizontally or in a case to protect the leads and maintain even wear.

Usage recommendations

For longer-lasting points and reduced breakage, sharpen the pencils gently and avoid excessive pressure when colouring. Combine several shades for smoother gradients and use a colourless blender or light overlay strokes to even out transitions. Keep the set away from direct moisture and extreme temperatures to preserve wood integrity.
