Lyra Sepia Chiaro Secca Pencil (12 Pack)

Sepia dry - Chiaro (chiaro is a lighter reddish than scuro). Clays and iron oxides of diŽerent shades combined with a mixture of plant-based binders.

Sepia light, slightly darker than the sanguine pencil, is a perfect midway point; the shade which is still reddish and very intense is perfect for creating shadows when used together with the sanguine pencil. The 5mm core is rich in pigment and fragile due to its purity. It can be blended perfectly from its full, saturated tone to a mere veiling. Sepia dark has a warm brown tone, vaguely reddish, very similar to the mummy brown to achieve contrasts and give a marked depth to a drawing. Concentration is very high, pencil is very delicate and guarantees maximum intensity.

Sharpening with a knife creates a long tip which can be defined using sandpaper; perfect for hatching and chiaroscuro. They can be erased with a putty rubber proportionally to the intensity of the stroke. Use of a spray fixative is recommended.
