A POSCA pencil? Surely not? But of course! This set contains 12 Essential colours: white, yellow, orange, red, light pink, mauve, Prussian blue, light blue, green tea, dark olive, brown and black.

Uni, the manufacturers of the POSCA range, are known in their native Japan as the Mitsubishi Pencil Company, and their pencils are highly regarded (think Hi-Uni). POSCA pencils are no exception.

They have the same great qualities you'd associate with the paint markers: they're long-lasting, with extensive coverage power, easy to use and there's a wide-ranging palette. The oil- and wax-based lead is soft, but won't crumble under pressure, and is easily sharpened. There are 6 levels of intensity, depending on use, which result in bold, vivid colours with a matt finish. They can be used with water or turpentine to achieve different effects, and can also be used in conjunction with watercolour, acrylic or POSCA paint markers to create mixed media artworks.

Suitable for use on a range of different surfaces, including light and dark paper and card, wood, metal, glass, plastic and even stone! Supplied in plastic-free, biodegradable packaging.
