Blick Art Materials presents Blick Studio Artists’ Colored Pencils. These highly pigmented pencils offer silky smooth color laydown that’s ideal for drawing, illustrating and coloring. In 72 brilliantly balanced shades for superior blending, they feature fade-resistant 3.8 mm leads encased in round, lacquered California cedar casings. For easy identification, the exterior of each pre-sharpened pencil is colored to match the core and the color name is printed on both ends. These pencils were developed utilizing feedback from Colored Pencil Society of America artist members and teachers. The result is a high-quality colored pencil that has been manufactured to Blick’s exacting standards, with an affordable price that brings it within reach of student artists of all ages. Available individually or in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72.
