Professional woodless colored pencils KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO (12 colors). Pure pigment ensures vibrant and smooth drawing without wood casing.
Type: Woodless graphite/colored pencils
Quantity: Set of 12 vibrant colors
When it comes to artistic freedom and color intensity, the KOH-I-NOOR PROGRESSO series is a market leader. These unique pencils differ from traditional ones by having no wooden casing – the entire pencil consists of pure pigment protected by a thin layer of lacquer. It is the perfect solution for those seeking maximum efficiency in their art supplies kit.
The main advantage of the PROGRESSO series is its woodless construction. Since the pencil has no wood, its core is a massive 7.1 mm in diameter. This means:
These colored pencils feature a soft yet firm stroke. The 7.1 mm thick core allows for both fine detail (using a sharp point) and broad coverage (using the side of the pencil). This is highly valued by graphic artists and illustrators who require fast and even coloring.
The 12 colors in the set are carefully selected to provide a wide range of shades. The pigments are exceptionally bright and offer great coverage on various paper textures. They blend perfectly when layered, allowing you to create subtle transitions and new tones.
PROGRESSO KOH-I-NOOR is the ideal choice for art students and professional artists. It offers one of the best price-to-quality ratios for a drawing tool that provides both precision and the ability to work on large forms. These are not just pencils; they are professional creative instruments.
While they lack a wooden shield, the lacquer coating provides sufficient strength for daily use. However, due to the high pigment content, it is recommended to avoid dropping them on hard surfaces.
Any standard sharpener with a suitable opening (7.6 mm diameter) will work. They sharpen very easily as there is no wood resistance to overcome.
KOH-I-NOOR uses high-quality pigments that offer good resistance to fading compared to standard school-grade pencils.
