The new Collection tin is the ideal introduction to Coloursoft -The UK’s softest ever colour pencil. With its velvety soft core it releases rich, dense colour at a stroke and its softness makes it perfect for mixing and blending. Despite this Coloursoft pencils sharpen to a fine point making them equally good for detailed illustrations, bold contemporary still-life drawings or portraiture.

In addition to 30 Coloursoft pencils the Collection contains 7 complementary accessories all designed to help you get the most from your art. A blender – which allows you to blend two or more colours together to create a third; a burnisher – for achieving a rich polished finish; a paper stump to help make blending easier; a sandpaper block- ideal for creating the perfect angle on your pencil and cleaning your paper stump! Two erasers, a kneadable one for creating highlights and a plastic one for removing unwanted pigment and finally a metal sharpener to help you keep that fine point!

The new Coloursoft Collection tin is available from all good art shops at £39.99 RRP
