Key Features

• Number of Pencils: 36 individually wrapped pastels.
• Core Diameter: 3.3 mm – optimal for detailed work and smooth blending.
Color Range: A carefully curated palette that spans warm reds, earthy browns, cool blues, vivid greens, soft neutrals and striking metallics.
• Water‑Colourable: Each pencil can be activated with water or a light mist of solvent to produce rich washes and gradients.
• Case Material: Sturdy metal construction protects the pencils from breakage while keeping them lightweight (450 g).
• Packaging: 5‑layer protective wrapping ensures each pastel remains pristine during shipping and storage.

Material Composition

The pastels are made from a blend of high‑quality pigments, binders and fillers that provide excellent lightfastness and pigment density. The metal case is fabricated from anodised aluminium, offering both durability and an elegant finish.

Ideal Uses

• Fine Art: Perfect for sketching, underpainting, or adding subtle colour accents to charcoal drawings.
• Illustration & Design: The vibrant hues are ideal for character design, concept art and graphic illustration.
• Education: A versatile tool for teaching colour theory, blending techniques and mixed media projects.
• Recreational Art: Great for children’s craft activities, party favours or as a creative gift.

Application Techniques

To activate the water‑colourable property, lightly mist the pencil tip with distilled water or a gentle spray of water. The pigment will dissolve slightly, allowing you to create washes that can be layered and blended with brushes or sponges. For a more opaque effect, apply multiple layers without diluting.

Maintenance & Care

• Store the metal case in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption by the pastels.
• Avoid exposing the pencils to direct sunlight for extended periods; UV light can fade pigments over time.
• When not in use, keep the case closed to protect the tips from dust and accidental breakage.
