Colour pencil Staedtler 146C C48

The Staedtler 146C C48 colour pencil is manufactured in Germany and designed for reliable, consistent colour application. It features high-quality pigments that deliver vibrant, even tones and a break-resistant core engineered to withstand pressure during sketching and colouring. The pencil’s hexagonal wooden barrel and ergonomic profile offer a comfortable grip and stability on flat surfaces, while its smooth laydown and good blending characteristics suit a range of creative and educational tasks.

Advantages

The ergonomic shape and hexagonal barrel improve handling and prevent the pencil from rolling away. Smooth application and blending properties make the pencil suitable for layered colouring and mixed techniques.

How to use

Select a sharp, clean point for fine lines and detail work; a slightly blunter tip can be used for broader colour coverage. Apply even pressure to avoid uneven wear; use layering and light cross-hatching strokes to build up depth and gradients. For blending, work from light to dark tones and use gentle circular motions or a blending tool to soften transitions. Store pencils horizontally or in a case to protect the cores and maintain consistent performance.
