Cretacolor Fine Art Paste l Pencil Set, Fine Art Paste l Pencil Set of 36

I absolutely love them. Next to the Derwent drawing pencils, although I love all my colored and watercolor pencils, they are some of the most cherished of my supplies. I use them wet and other times dry. I use as a wash base and then use the pencils dry over. Sometimes I use them with other pencils. They work well with watercolor pencils, colored pencils, and can be used as a base that has been blended with water and work pastel over! I have used them on wood boxes and they work good. But if used dry only remember you must spray with a fixative to seal it. As I have the full line of rich colors and they are so bendable I have never done a project in which I felt they lacked a color to get the effect. Of course, they work well with Derwent drawing pencils too. As I live next to the coast I always have in my pencil roll while out, the greens, a few greys, indigo, and the aubergine. They are so buttery and such a joy drawing with.
