Why Choose Cezanne® Premium Watercolor Pencil Sets Drawing and painting with watercolor pencils is a recent art trend that has been around for less than 100 years. Compared to other art materials, that is a very new development, and the quality continues to improve over time. Cezanne® Watercolor Pencils by Creative Mark have all of the latest improvements and allow you to experience the joy of drawing and painting entirely in color. Over the years the binders for the lead have been significantly improved. These pencils have the state of the art binders which allow the color to release easily onto any paper, board, and even canvas! The lead is characterized as being soft with a large 3.3mm diameter lead that can hold a crisp sharp point for pinpoint control if required. Pre-sharpened premium pencils allow for great blending, layering, and shading with each other. The soft, vibrant colors are easily painted with a brush to create seamless watercolor effects. One of the most often overlooked qualities of a pencil is the wood used to encase the lead. However, this is as important as the lead itself. Many lower-cost colored pencils use soft or cheap wood. You can notice this when sharpening. Unfortunately, if you have purchased such a set, you know this already. Cezanne® colored pencils use top quality hardwood that is easy to sharpen. The lead is bonded to the casement, so it is unbelievably break-resistant during the sharpening process. Although this technology has been around for years, many of the cheap brands don't use it because it costs more money. Often, the barrel finish is widely overlooked. However, this, too, has been aided by superior matching techniques of resin color and the colored lead. The ends of Cezanne® pencils are dipped twice. The first dip provides a good seal, and the second dip offers a very close depiction of the colored lead, making color selection easy. The final test of any colored pencil set is the assortment of colors. Too often, cheap pencils use cheap pigments or dyer, and for the most part, many companies don't work with real artists. Cezanne's color range has been created with a great amount of input from artists such as yourself. You can use the selection for portraiture, landscapes, seascapes, and varied, brilliant designs.
