KohINoor Woodless Colored Pencils for What You Will Use Them

Kohinoor woodless colored pencils you can find among beginners and intermediate art folks. On the first touch, you maybe will not be sure what you have in hand, but real power and beauty you will see on the paper.
Progreso colored pencils come without wooden support. The pencil is all lead, there is no wood for support. And because of that big lead, you get terrific colored pencils for covering large areas.

You can use them for details as well, but mostly they will be used in larger areas. Progresso pencils are also very often used for coloring books, vibrant colors and the possibility to blend them easily makes them great for coloring books.

Another great thing to me is that they are eco-friendly. For those pencils, they didn’t cut not even one branch of the tree. They don’t have a wood barrel for supporting the lead. So you a getting pencil that is all lead, you get lead in one pencil enough to get five normal ones.

Be aware if you have a heavy hand maybe Kohinoor woodless colored pencils are not the best choice for you.

Lightfastness Ratings of Kohinor Woodless Colored Pencils

In the pack of 24 pieces, you will get different lightfastness ratings, you will know the grade of the lightfastness by a number of stars on the pencil. Four stars are maximum rating on Kohinoor woodless colored pencils, and the lowest is one star.

What does that mean to an artist? If you expose your drawing over time to sunlight the colors with weak lightfastness will become dull sooner. Drawing will lose vivid pigment, and that is not what we want on colored pencils artworks.

Twelve pencils in 24 pieces sets have a rating of four stars for lightfastness, nine have three stars, two have two stars and two have one star. The overall majority of pencils have pretty decent lightfastness ratings, and I see that as a good deal.
