This ensures your artwork will remain vibrant, with minimal fading or discoloration due to exposure to light. Comfortable, User-Friendly Design The pencils feature a thick, 3.8mm core that's perfect for broad strokes. The 7.8mm shaft provides a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended creative sessions. Versatile Medium Holbein Artist Colored Pencils are not limited to just paper.
