A full set of 36 artist-quality oil-based colored pencils that fits in your hand or pocket. Years in the making, we believe this set is the very best solution for portable colored pencil art, whether on the road or at home. Each piece of this kit was carefully created or chosen for a reason.
The Pencil
We've used dozens of lead holders and mechanical pencils and arrived at one choice for this set- the Kitaboshi 2.0mm mechanical pencil. Crafted by revered Japanese pencil maker Kitaboshi Pencil House, this pencil has high tech insides wrapped in a body of California incense cedar for a warm, artist's feel and smell. We just know you will love this pencil immediately, and then more and more as you use it. You'd spend 1/3 to 1/2 the price of this set just to get ahold of one of these works of art themselves.
A mechanical pencil has the additional benefit of consistency in your hand. If you've used regular colored pencils for any length of time you know, you'll soon be using small nubs or messing with pencil extenders as you work with them. With this pencil you will always have the same consistent feel in your hands, everyday, all day.
The Colored-Leads
It's taken a while to get to this point. For years the most color options you could get in leads was 12, or a brand of Larger leads that were soft, expensive, broke easy, were hard to use and...only fit one type of lead holder. Trust us, we know, our first kits were made with these.
These leads are 2.0mm x 90.0mm and are oil-based artist-quality leads that are strong, wear slowly, and keep a point fairly well. They're soft enough to blend so they aren't indestructible, but they last surprising long. Refills are available in full sets and or any combination of 9 colors for a reasonable price.
The Colored-Lead Case
This feature is 100% unique to claim. Having 36 colors in a tube is completely unusable for the artist. Finding the right color, getting it out, dumping them all out to find the one you want. Likewise, a tray of colors similar to regular colored pencils greatly increases the size of the set and how it's packaged.
Enter the claim case. It is hard-sided to protect the lead, clear to see the colors, lays flat to show the full range of colors while working with them, and folds up to fit nicely with your set.. With this case these colors are like candy in your pocket. The front of the case contains the "actual color" color guide. This is another 100% unique feature. The colors on the face of the colored-lead case, are the...actual colors. We hand-color hundreds of tiny labels strips and then attach them to the cases so what you are looking at is the exact pigments you will be using in your art. The appearance of the leads themselves from the outside can be misleading and ink or laser printed labels will never show the exact nuance of the colors. We care about your art.
The Sharpener
The sharpener is also made by Kitaboshi Pencil Company. It its not only specific to 2.0mm lead, but has an entrapment for shavings as well. We find this sharpener to be excellent, but we know artists can to be picky about sharpeners so we've left room in the canvas case to add your own small sharpener if you want.
The Case
When wanted to keep it tight so this case is custom made for this set, with a liiiiitle room for something else. Throw in a blending stick, a favorite sharpener, an eraser, or small vile of blending medium, there's room.
