An oil-based core as soft as butter
Our coloured pencils have a pigment-rich, oil-based core that glides across the paper remarkably smoothly. This creamy texture allows intense application, layering and effortless blending, for a velvety finish close to paint.
Gradients, layering and blending
Thanks to their soft core, these pencils lend themselves to layering: you build up colours in light layers to create depth and soften transitions by rubbing gently. Some sets even include metallic gold and silver for luminous touches.
A pleasure to hold and sharpen
The wooden barrel is light, comfortable in the hand and easy to sharpen without breaking the core. Delivered in a beautiful box, these pencils are as much a pleasure to use as a lovely gift idea for a creative friend.
Frequently asked questions — Coloured pencils
What's the difference between an oil-based core and a wax core?
Oil-based cores are softer, more pigmented and blend better than classic wax pencils. They give a richer finish and easier gradients.
Can coloured pencils be blended?
Yes, by building up light layers and gently rubbing with the pencil or a blending stump. An oil-based core makes blending much easier.
Are these pencils suitable for children?
Everyone enjoys them, but their rich pigmentation and finish make them best suited to adult colouring, illustration and careful creative hobbies.
How do I sharpen them without breaking the core?
Use a well-sharpened sharpener and turn gently. As an oil-based core is soft, don't force it; sharpen with small, regular movements.
