How to use

Select a pencil and apply colour with light, even strokes to build up intensity gradually. For smoother blends, layer adjacent colours and use gentle cross-hatching or circular motions. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for coloured pencils and store the set in its hanging box to protect the tips and keep the colours organised. Keep away from heat sources and avoid leaving the pencils in direct sunlight for prolonged periods to minimise softening or fading.

Recommendations

Use heavier pressure for vivid accents and lighter pressure for shading and gradients. For a blended finish, overlay mid-tones and use a colourless blender pencil or light-coloured pencil to smooth transitions. Exchange pencils between projects to ensure even wear across the set.
