SoHo Urban Artist Colored Pencils

Soho Urban Artist Elite Colored Pencils From Austria

Elite brand of colored pencils with less wax and more pigment for more brilliant finished art! When you want the best, this is your choice!

In developing their line of artists' colored pencils, SoHo Urban Artist went directly to artists themselves to find out precisely what is needed in a high quality colored pencil today. Working from near unanimous requests, SoHo created a line of elite colored pencils that met or exceeded artists'requirements across the board!

Great deal of pigment rather than wax (wax based but more pigment) - Using highly pigmented, vibrant colors, every shade in the 72-color line has superior light resistance for brilliant and lasting works of art. The 3.8mm leads are securely glued into the hexagonal basswood casings, so the pencils sharpen easily and do not break. (Sharpen without the lead falling out)
The smooth, buttery consistency ensures that each stroke glides across the paper, and multiple layers are made possible by the minimal hazing of these superb colors. There is a fantastic range of colors especially dark colors that are difficult to find in other colored pencil lines.

Each pencil is lacquered seven times to a smooth, satin black finish, and the tips are dipped in corresponding colors for quick recognition. Produced in conjunction with Cretacolor of Austria, one of the world's oldest and most respected pencil manufacturers, SoHo Professional Colored Pencils are truly an artists' color: designed to last and developed with you in mind!
