Colored pencils KORES KOLORES PASTEL triangular 3 mm core, set of 12 pastel colors

KORES KOLORES PASTEL triangular colored pencils feature a 3 mm pastel core in a set of 12 soft, muted shades. The triangular barrel provides an ergonomic grip and resists rolling on flat surfaces, making these pencils suitable for school use, sketching, detail work and mixed-media craft projects. The pastel pigment formulation produces even, blendable coverage that layers well for shading and subtle color transitions.

Advantages

The triangular shape improves handling and reduces hand fatigue during extended drawing sessions. A 3 mm core balances strength and flexibility, allowing both fine lines and broad strokes while being less prone to breakage than thinner leads. Pastel tones offer gentle, low-saturation color ideal for layering and soft blending. The set of 12 colors covers common pastel hues for quick palette selection without excess choices.

Suitable for

• School drawing exercises and classroom use
• Sketching, shading and coloring practice
• Hobby crafts, scrapbooking and mixed-media projects
• Illustrations and studies that require soft, blendable tones

How to use

Hold the triangular barrel between thumb and fingers to maintain a stable, comfortable grip. Apply light to medium pressure for soft pastel effects; increase pressure for more saturated strokes. Use the pencil tip for precise lines and the side of the core for broader coverage. For blending, layer adjacent colors and use a blending stump, tissue or a light burnishing stroke to achieve smooth transitions. Sharpen with a blade or a high-quality pencil sharpener designed for colored pencils to preserve the 3 mm core.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally to reduce breakage risks and keep caps or a box to protect tips. Use paper with medium tooth (tooth/texture) to maximize pigment pickup and layering. Avoid excessive pressure on the core to prevent snapping; for heavy coverage, work in multiple light layers.
