These sets contain artist quality, water-resistant coloured pencils, that come in 72 shades; all of which have an excellent to very good lightfastness rating.

Koh-I-Noor Polycolor pencils are top quality colours because their dense and evenly dispersed pigments are carefully selected from renowned producers across the globe. They make unique marks beautifully on paper (or on any other another medium) and can be used to build up delicate layers (moving from light to dark) without the necessity of high pressure. Additionally, they can be blended with a tortillon or colourless blender to create a range of effects.

The 3.8 mm leads provide the pencils with a longevity that makes them excellent value for money and because they are made from noble fir wood they are easy to sharpen.
