While both offer exceptional quality, they have subtle differences that artists come to appreciate with use. To help you find the right fit for your project, we provide scrap paper byt the display so you can test and compare pencils before making a decision.
For hands on comparison, we suggest trying a few oil-based pencils along side Prismacolor Premier, a professional grad wax-based line, to see the contrast in texture and blending for yourself.
Solvent Techniques: Something Fun to Try!
If you enjoy working with oil-based pencils, you might have fun incorporating solvents into your work! We carry Gamsol, a refined, odorless mineral spirit that breaks down the binder in oil-based pencils and allows the pigment to spread smoothly across the page, almost like watercolor or paint.
Once the solvent layer dries, you can layer more pencil work on top, opening a world of effects that blend the control of drawing with the flow of painting. Whether you are new to colored pencils or a seasoned sketcher, they're a great way to expand your creative toolbox--come try them out!
