About this material
Holbein Artists' Colored Pencils are soft, oil-based colored pencils. The 3.8mm core uses finely ground pigments. It is moderately soft and does not break easily. The pigments resist fading and color change from light.
The range has 150 colors. Sets come in 12, 24, 36, 50, 100, and 150 colors, and there is also a pastel set of light tints. Single pencils are also available.
You can layer three or four colors, which helps build depth in your coloring. The pencils can also be used on top of watercolor paint.
