Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft Artists' Colour Pencil Set

Established in 1924 by Arnold Schweitzer, Caran d’Ache takes its name from a leading Russian artist of the time, Emmanuel Poiré, in whose native tongue, 'Karandash', means 'a pencil'. Whether or not either knew, the true origins come from the Turkish 'Kara tash', meaning 'black stone'; the natural pigment that makes marks. Available in tins of 12, 18, 30, 40, 80 and 120, Caran D'Ache Supracolor pencils are the superior quality water-soluble pencils, created for the most exacting requirements. Suitable for artists, illustrators and graphic artists, combining bright colours and excellent lightfastness; Supracolor provide exceptional covering power.
