Default Prismacolour Verithin Colour Pencils!!!

Hi girls

Can anybody tell me what these are compared to the premier pencils that everybody has to use with their gamsol please?

I got these as a free set with my prismacolour premier set, not bad but ..... don't know what they do etc.

The verithin have a much harder binder in them than the professional pencils. They sharpen to a much sharper point and are used mainly along the edges of paintings to sharpen/finish the edges of various elements of the design. Not really useful for stampers as you already have a stamped outline to follow.

These are still professional- they are used differently than your regular prismas. They have a different color selection. They are made to be less blendable, so they don't build up. They do however blend when you layer the colors over each other. They are not as brilliant, a much softer finished look. So if you like soft, and you like to see the drawing lines, sketch type lines- KWIM,?, then you'll like them. They can be used with the regular pencils, too.
