Buying Colouring Pencils

Coloured pencils are the foundation of any art kit. We’ve pulled together a few FAQs to help find the best coloured pencils for you.

What are the best Coloured Pencils for artists?

The choice of coloured pencils often depends on personal preferences and your specific needs. Some highly regarded brands among artists include Crawford & Black. As an artist, you’ll want pencils that blend well and are highly pigmented to ensure a higher-quality drawing.

How To Use Water Colour Pencils?

Using watercolour pencils involves two main techniques: dry and wet. 

Dry - Simply colour with the pencils on paper as you would with regular coloured pencils. Use a wet brush to blend and spread the pigments to activate the watercolour effect. 
Wet - Apply water directly to the paper first, then draw or colour with watercolour pencils. You can experiment with layering and blending to achieve different textures and effects.
