The color system allows for middle tone, dark, and highlight tone availability to aid in the creation of the most lifelike works of art. If you LOVE Prismacolor, You will LOVE Cezanne® - The same - if not better - performance for a better value! 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 colored leads are easier to blend, shade, and layer. 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 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, 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 and is high quality and non-toxic. You can use the selection for portraiture, landscapes, seascapes, and varied brilliant designs. Colorless Blender Box of 6 Mix and soften your colored pencil drawings with Cezanne's pigment-free blenders. The colorless wax allows you to blend and soften colors without altering or dulling colors for a more painterly effect. Non-photo Blue Box of 6: Non-photo blue pencils are perfect for initial sketches, especially for digital pieces. The pencils originated over 80 years ago when it was discovered that this particular blue is unphotographable. Modern scanners and cameras can detect non-photo blue, but with some simple photo editing, those marks are easily erased. See More

Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. The vegetable oil-based pencils exhibit a richness of color and smoothness that is unparalleled by any other brand, without the ugly wax bloom that develops with layering, like other popular brands on the market. The barrel houses a 3.8mm diameter, SV bonded lead that is both water-resistant and smudge proof, with the bonding providing breakage-resistance with accidental dropping or rough sharpening. Key Features:* Thick 3.8 mm lead diameter* Oil-based lead* Soft, vibrant color laydown* High-quality acid-free pigments with unsurpassed lightfastness * Water-resistant and smudge-proof* High break resistance due to Secural bonding process (SV)* 120 color range Perfect For:* Illustrators, Designers, Fine Artists* Archival and lightfast artworks* Easy blending and layering* Use on multiple surfaces* Replacing brands that break easily* Professionals, art students With a color range of 120 open stock colors, 100 of those have a 3 star lightfastness rating (7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale). Why is this important? Until the Colored Pencil Society of America approached the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) about developing lightfastness testing for colored pencils, there was not a set lightfastness rating in place for the product. A standard was passed in 2003 and testing began (D6901), and found most brands terribly lacking— most of which did not produce lightfastness beyond 25 years. With 100 colors at the top of the lightfastness ratings, Faber Castell has been dedicated from the start to provide a truly fine art, professional quality colored pencil! The expanded color range matches both Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils and Polychromos pastels for multi-media techniques. Pencils work beautifully on textured and smooth papers, sanded pastel papers and boards, wood, and even fabric. Please note: The pencil barrel’s labeling may vary in appearance within sets and individual stock due to a rolling manufacturer design change. The quality and formula of the Polychromos pencils remain unchanged. See More
