Great for nature studies, landscapes, seascapes and wildlife drawing, plus traditional portraits in the styles of the old masters. These traditional round artists pencils come in a range of intense colors. The soft and creamy texture of the extra-thick color lead allows blending to achieve a variety of colors and tones. The easy-to-apply waxy consistency produces a smooth velvety finish on paper, and the extra wide 5mm color strip is ideal for blending.
