"Loaded with pigment and wax-based, these crayons are an amazing watercolour tool. Use them as an underdrawing and see how beautifully they interact with traditional watercolours. Use them on their own and find out just how much pigment they carry. Being wax-based but water-soluble, they can lead to some wonderful surprises in your work. Light washes hardly affect them while a bit of brushing can dissolve them into smooth, even tones." - Corey
