Frequently Asked Questions

Are these oil-based or wax-based colored pencils?

These are oil-based cores engineered for smooth layering and clean blends. Compared with wax based coloured pencils, oil-based leads tend to show less wax bloom and hold sharper points.

Which set should I choose: 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, or 160 colours?

Beginners start with 24–36 colours for balanced palettes. For advanced shading and portraits, choose 48–72. Professionals and color-maximalists prefer 120–160 for precise matching.

Do these pencils blend well and layer without streaks?

Yes—oil cores allow silky blending, glazing, and burnishing. Build light layers and increase pressure gradually for polished gradients.

Are they suitable for kids and students?

Yes. They’re ideal as student supplies and for supervised classroom use. Always follow age guidelines and supervise younger children during sharpening.

What sharpener should I use?

Use a sharp, high-quality handheld or rotary sharpener. Short, gentle turns help prevent core breakage and preserve fine tips for details.

Do they work on toned or textured paper?

Absolutely. Oil-based pigment grips well to smooth, vellum, and lightly textured papers, revealing vibrant color even on toned surfaces.

Non-toxic materials. For best results, store pencils in a cool, dry place and keep away from extreme heat.
