## Description

From the manufacturer Polychromos Artists´ Colour Pencils For more than 100 years, Polychromos artists' colour pencils have been convincing artists all over the world with their excellent quality. The high-quality pigments ensure unsurpassed lightfastness and outstanding colour brilliance. The smudge-proof and waterproof 3.8mm thick colour lead is silky smooth to the and is particularly break-resistant. The Polychromos artists' colour pencil therefore lives up to its name in every respect. Features High-quality acid-free pigments in bright colours, unsurpassed lightfastness Soft, vibrant colour laydown Water-resistant and smudgeproof Thick 3.8 mm lead Available in 120 individual colours Hatching / Cross Hatching Held at a steep angle, the Polychromos artist’s colour pencil produces the finest lines. This pencil position is ideal for hatching, cross-hatching and precise line work, e.g. when sketching. Varying Pressure Different shades of colour can be created by varying the pressure on the pencil. The Polychromos artist’s colour pencil withstands even the most extreme pressure, which allows for intensive, closed colour areas. Colour transitions Colour transitions can be easily created by blending with a pencil or paper wiper. Embossed Paper Embossing paper is a charming technique. Random textures or exact contours can be embossed onto the paper surface with a suitable embossing pen or a blunt needle before you start drawing. Then, when you start drawing, the deeper lines in the paper are not touched by the drawing. Accessories Castell 9000 Art Set Artists´ graphite pencils for the highest demands. A range from 2H to 8B for maximum tonal value differences and breathtaking depth effects. Twin Sharpening Box Quality sharpener for easy and clean sharpening. For all common pencil shapes: Standard and Jumbo, Graphite and colour pencils. Art Eraser Dust Free Dust-free eraser for clean removal of pencil and colour pencil lines and for subsequent creation of white space or less intensive colour areas. Blending Stump Blending stump for smudging colour pigments. Faber-Castell Faber-Castell, founded in 1761, is one of the world’s leading companies for high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative design as well as decorative cosmetic products. It is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and has been owned by the same family for nine generations. With more than two billion pencils and colour pencils per year and around 8,000 employees, Faber-Castell is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, represented in over 120 countries, with production sites in nine countries and companies in 23 countries. Faber-Castell can draw a positive balance regarding climate protection. A scientific study by the German technical inspection association TÜV Rheinland has confirmed that Faber-Castell’s forests in Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tons of carbon. They retain considerably more CO2 than the company emits worldwide, so that Faber-Castell can consider itself to be carbon neutral.
