Colour Pencil Pelikan 700146 12 pc(s) Multicolour

The Pelikan 700146 colour pencil set contains 12 multicolour pencils designed for drawing, colouring and shading. Each pencil delivers smooth application and consistent pigmentation across paper surfaces, allowing precise strokes and even fills. The graphite-free, coloured leads are formulated to resist breakage during normal use and to be easy to sharpen for fine detail work. The set is compact and suitable for use at home, in the classroom or in a studio.

Advantages

These Pelikan colour pencils combine rich, even colour laydown with a resistant lead that minimises breakage and waste. The cores provide reliable coverage for single-layer colouring and respond well to light pressure for delicate lines. Their wood casing sharpens cleanly, which helps maintain a fine point for detailed work. The varied palette of 12 hues supports simple layering and blending to achieve gradations and mixed tones without specialised equipment.

How to use

Select the pencil colour appropriate for your task and sharpen to the preferred point using a manual or mechanical pencil sharpener suitable for coloured pencils. Apply with light to moderate pressure to build up colour gradually; use cross-hatching or circular strokes for even coverage. For blending, layer adjacent colours with light passes or use a white or blending pencil to soften transitions. Clean the sharpening area regularly to prevent wood shavings from affecting the surface of your work.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally in a dry place to reduce the risk of core damage. Use a sharp, well-maintained sharpener to avoid excessive breakage and to preserve the wood casing. When working on archival projects, choose suitable paper with enough tooth to accept pigment layering for best results.
