Coloured pencils from introductory sets to professional singles.
This collection covers two distinct levels of coloured pencil work. Premier sets offer a practical and accessible starting point for school-age students and beginners, available in standard, watercolour and eco versions across a range of colour counts. Polychromos individual pencils cover the full professional colour range, with oil-based pigment that layers and blends with precision. Blending pencils and burnishers complete the selection for those who want to refine their technique beyond basic application.
School sets or professional singles: how to choose.
Premier sets are well suited to foundational colour work, illustration courses and any context where a broad colour range is needed from the start, whether for a young student or an art program. Polychromos singles are the choice for those who already have a set and need to restock specific colours, or who are building a curated palette for a particular body of work. The oil-based core holds up through heavy layering and burnishing without breaking, which matters when coloured pencil is a primary medium.
