283 Burnt Sienna - Polychromos Artists' Color Pencil
Polychromos Artists' Color Pencils are premium quality color pencils that are loved by professionals and semi-professionals for their wide variety of colors, color laydown, lightfastness, and break-resistant lead. Available in 120 colors, they are one of the best colored pencils on the market. Artists of all skill levels love Faber-Castell color pencils for their versatility, durability, and consistency. Polychromos color pencils are used for graphics, artistic free style, exact renditions, coloring books, and more!
Faber-Castell oil-based color pencils feature a break-resistant lead that is produced through SV (secure-all) bonding that glues the lead the entire length of the barrel. The 3.8 mm leads in these color pencils are water-resistant and smudge proof to ensure a soft, vibrant color laydown. The premium quality lead makes blending, layering, highlighting and transitioning easy.
Polychromos Pencils are oil based as opposed to being wax based like other brands, allowing them to blend with solvents in a similar way to how you would blend oil paints. This can be done with paraffin oil (baby oil) or solvents such as mineral spirits.
