Holbein artist coloured pencils are high-quality, artist-grade pencils known for their smooth texture, vibrant colours, and excellent blendability. Made in Japan, they are prized for their rich pigmentation, which allows for intense, even colour application and layering. Holbein pencils come in a broad spectrum of colours, including unique pastel and fluorescent shades, making them versatile for both fine detail and large, expressive areas.
The pencils feature 7.88mm barrel and 3.8mm thick lead core. Made from a blend of wax, fats and oils, these pencils are classed as a soft oil coloured pencil.
Holbein use high-grade pigments which exhibit little fading or discolouration by light. Please see the colour chart for lightfast details for each pencil.
