How to use

Use a standard pencil sharpener to create a fine or blunt point depending on the level of detail required. Apply light strokes for base layers and increase pressure gradually for richer tones. Blend adjacent colours with gentle cross-hatching or circular motions; for broader blended areas, use layering techniques by applying successive thin layers of colour. When working on mixed-media projects, test compatibility with inks or water-based media on a sample sheet to ensure the desired effect.

Recommendations

Store pencils horizontally to minimise breaking of colour cores and keep them dry and away from direct heat. Replace the sharpener blade when sharpening becomes uneven to preserve the wood casing and core integrity.
