How to use

Use the crayons directly on paper for traditional coloring and shading. To create watercolour effects, apply crayon pigment to the paper and then blend or dissolve it with a wet brush or sponge; intensity can be adjusted by varying water amount and brushstrokes. Layer colors by allowing the first layer to dry partially before applying additional crayon and reworking with water. For mixed-media work, combine with inks or markers once initial layers are dry to avoid unwanted bleeding.

Usage recommendations

Choose a heavier-weight paper (minimum 200 g/m² recommended) for best results with wet techniques to prevent buckling. Test color blends on a spare sheet before committing to a final piece. Store crayons in their box away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain color quality.
