Faber-Castell Polychromos Coloured Pencils, Tin of 36

Faber-Castell Polychromos Tin of 36 – Artist Coloured Pencils for Drawing and Sketching

The set contains 36 Polychromos artist coloured pencils from Faber-Castell in a metal tin. It is intended for drawings, freehand artistic work and the precise colouring of plans. According to the manufacturer, professional and semi-professional users around the world work with these pencils.

The pigments offer high lightfastness and colour brilliance, so your work keeps its colour even when displayed for a long time. The pencils lay down soft, rich colour. The colour is smudge-proof and water-resistant, so it does not smear easily when your hand passes over the sheet as you draw.

What the pencils are suited to

The 3.8 mm lead gives a soft, rich line. You can use it for fine hatching and for filling areas. The Secural bonding (SV) fixes lead and wood firmly together, so the lead is less likely to break when sharpening or if the pencil is knocked. This saves you frustration, especially with detailed drawings on which you work with the pencils for a long time. With a sharp sharpener the point stays clean and the lead is protected.

Which set size to choose

Polychromos coloured pencils are available in a metal tin with 12, 24, 36, 60 and 120 pencils. With 36 pencils you have a wide choice of colours for drawings and sketches. If you need more colours later, you can extend your selection with a larger set.
