CHOOSING THE RANGE OF COLOURING PENCILS THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU
Before looking at the number of colours available, here are a few criteria to consider when determining which range of colouring pencils is best adapted to you.
• The type of coloured pencil: dry or water-soluble, with a soft or hard lead, depending on your technique.
• Lightfast colours: something important to consider if you wish to exhibit your work.
• Water-solubility: some coloured pencils are water-soluble, allowing you to create water-colour effects.
• The number of pencils in your selection: a box of 6, 12, 20, 80 or 120 pencils? Define your needs according to usage.
