Prismacolor Pencil Colorless Blender 2/Pkg.
Overview
The Prismacolor Colorless Blender Pencil (2-pack) is a wood-cased, wax-based blending pencil made for artists working with colored pencils who want smoother transitions, softened edges, and refined burnished surfaces without adding any pigment. Each pencil contains a thick, colorless core that moves and redistributes existing colored-pencil pigment to create subtle gradients, lift hard lines, and even out tonal areas. Ideal for students, hobbyists, illustration artists, portraitists and botanical illustrators, this tool helps you achieve professional-looking blends and highlights without solvents. Keep one pencil sharpened for detail work and the spare as a backup; the two-pack is useful for extended projects or for carrying one to classes and storing one at home.
