Introducing the Faber-Castell Polychromos Tin of 20 new colours. This is the first expansion of the iconic Polychromos range in over 25 years. Said by many artists to be the highest quality coloured pencils available, Faber-Castell's Polychromos can hold a sharper point than most, and have dense pigment for vivid colours. They are also highly light-fast and resist smudging and water, making them ideal for fine art use. 

• 20 brand new colours to play with
• Better tonal range - smoother transitions and more subtle gradients, so shading looks properly realistic rather than stepped
• A genuinely modern palette - think muted neutrals, earthy tones and a few expressive accents that suit contemporary styles, not just traditional colouring-in shades
• Acid-free, professional-grade pigments - rich, pure colour that's built to last
• Excellent lightfastness - leave your artwork looking the way you intended in years to come
• Soft, oil-based 3.8mm leads - glide on smoothly, layer beautifully, and blend without a fight
• Water-resistant and smudge-proof - so accidental water spills won't undo an afternoon's work
• A proper metal tin to keep all 20 pencils organised and protected
• Suited to serious work - portraits, editorial illustration, botanical studies, fine art.
