Colouring pencils are a fundamental tool for artists and hobbyists alike. They come in a variety of types, each with their unique features and advantages. The most common types include wax-based, oil-based, and watercolour pencils. Wax-based pencils are soft and offer vibrant colours, but may produce a wax bloom on the surface over time. Oil-based pencils are harder and have a creamy texture, perfect for detailed work. Watercolour pencils can be used dry for standard colouring or wet for a watercolour effect. Understanding the differences can help you decide which type suits your artistic style and needs.
