Product Information

The watercolor pencils have a watercolor lead, which offers a wide range of coloring possibilities, as the rich colors can be applied with water and a brush. People have been creating pictures since time immemorial. They use this activity as a way to practice their creativity and let their creative thoughts run free, allowing them to relax while coloring and take delight in the results. Whether colored pencils for children or adults, or artists colored pencils: you will find the perfect colored pencils to suit your individual needs and preferences in STAEDTLER’s wide range of products. Tip: Many STAEDTLER colored pencils are available in a set as well as individually. You can therefore buy replacements of your favorite colors, which usually get used up sooner.

As already mentioned, the pencils themselves come in a triangular shape and have an ergosoft grip to them, which really makes them stand out. They are coated in their respected color and labeled with a white stamp that displays the brand name. They come in a patented Staedtler stand-up box that, while not as aesthetically pleasing as, say, a wooden box, does a good job of protecting the pencil and is also quite handy for moving around the various offerings. From what I can ascertain, Staedtler have three brands of colored pencil, Staedtler Noris Club, Staedtler Noris and Staedtler Ergosoft. With the Ergosoft, the pencil we are reviewing here, the largest set is 24 and they also have a set of 12. I personally would love to see this particular range of pencil extended to 36 or 48, giving a little bit more choice to the younger artists using this pencil.

Thanks to its triangular shape, the pencil sits comfortably in the hand ensuring relaxed and easy colouring. The range also includes special erasable colored pencils. Mistakes can be corrected immediately with the PVC and latex-free eraser at the end of the pencil.
