Gift Box for Artists
The Faber-Castell Polychromos set contains 36 oil-based colored pencils packed in a metal tin. It suits professional illustrators, designers and serious hobbyists who need lightfast pigments for finished artwork. The selection covers a balanced spectrum for portrait, landscape and still-life work.
Pigment Quality and Tin Storage
Each pencil uses a high-grade oil core that resists crumbling and allows smooth layering without wax bloom. Colors are identified by name and number on the barrel for quick selection. The sturdy metal box protects points during transport and keeps the range organised on a studio desk.
Lightfast Performance and Handling
The oil binder delivers consistent laydown on paper, vellum and prepared board with minimal dust. High lightfast ratings across the palette ensure finished pieces retain color integrity over time. Blending is achieved through layering or solvent techniques without damaging the paper surface.

Questions about this item
What colour range does the 36-pencil Polychromos gift box cover?
The set spans white, yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, purples, blues, greens, earth tones, greys, cream and black for broad mixing.
What physical space does the gift box need for storage?
The box holds 36 pencils in a single layer; allow a flat shelf or drawer slot wide enough for the tin’s rectangular footprint.
How are the pencils prepared for first use, and what mistake should be avoided?
Sharpen each pencil gently with a quality sharpener; avoid over-sharpening which wastes the thick, oil-based core.
