Staedtler Colour Pencils

Colour pencils split into wax-based and oil-based cores, and it changes how they behave more than the shade range does. Wax cores lay down easily and burnish to a shine, but they bloom, a faint white haze that surfaces weeks later. Oil cores are firmer, hold a sharper point for detail and do not bloom, but need more pressure to build up.

Which one you need

For layering, blending and soft transitions, wax is more forgiving. For botanical work, fine linework and anything where the point matters, oil-based earns its price. Whichever you use, work light and build up: colour pencil cannot be lifted once burnished into the paper.

Complete the setup

Use smooth paper with a little tooth, keep a precision sharpener for the point, and compare with Faber-Castell, Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor. Browse all colour pencils or the complete Staedtler range.
