We’re pleased to share this from “Each pair of three colors is actually from the same tube, just adding little amounts of white to play with the saturation! This is a fun swatch sheet for me to track all of my colors. I did post a full length video on my YouTube and it’s sooo fun to watch!”

🌈 Holbein Artist Colored Pencils feature a soft, 3.8 mm core that lays down color beautifully, making it easier to draw, layer, blend, and overpaint.

With an extensive range of colors made from carefully selected pigments, these pencils offer excellent coverage and blending on a wide variety of papers. And because lasting color matters, Holbein uses precise instrumental testing to evaluate the lightfast durability of its colored pencils rather than relying solely on the traditional, visually assessed Blue Wool method.

Whether you’re drawing, illustrating, sketching, or exploring mixed media, Holbein Artist Colored Pencils bring more than a century of Holbein color-making expertise to every mark.

What’s your favorite way to use colored pencils - layering, blending, or mixed media? Let us know in the comments 😊
