This is a set of 50 Holbein Artists' Coloured Pencils which come contained in a durable cardboard box.Holbein Artists' Pencils are a range of soft and vivid artists' coloured pencils from leading art material manufacturer Holbein.Each pencil has an extremely soft and buttery feel with vibrant colour. Holbein use high-grade pigments which exhibit little fading or discolouration by light. The mixture of oils, waxes and premium pigments results in a very thick layer of colour that is vivid and permanent.
Holbein Artists' Pencils have a comfortable 7.8 mm round barrel with a thick 3.8 mm core, giving artists the ability to lay down a lot of colour at once. The pencils are pre-sharpened and require use with a good quality sharpener because of their softness. This softness and richness of colour make these very good for colourful works or for enhancing aspects of a drawing that you want to stand out.
