Signature Colour Pencils 12pc

12 colour pencils with good pigment and a smooth lay-down, for students and adults who blend.

We stock two 12-piece Mont Marte colour pencil sets. The Essential Colours 12pc is the budget option and does the job for young kids and everyday school colouring. The Signature set costs more because it has a higher pigment level, so the colour goes down smoother and blends and layers more easily. If you're shading, blending or doing art class work, this is the one we'd pick.

What's in the box

• 12 colour pencils

Who they suit

• Secondary school art students
• Adult colouring and sketching
• Anyone moving up from a kids' set who wants colours that blend

Tip

Build colour in light layers rather than pressing hard on the first pass. You'll get smoother blends and keep enough paper tooth for the layers on top.
