Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between oil-based and wax-based colored pencils?

A: Oil-based pencils like the H900 use an oil binder instead of wax, resulting in a smoother, creamier laydown with less wax bloom (the white haze that can appear on wax-based pencil work over time). They also tend to blend more seamlessly and are less prone to breakage.

Q: Are these pencils suitable for beginners?

A: Yes. The 72-color set is an excellent starting point for beginners, offering a well-rounded palette at an accessible price. The smooth laydown and forgiving blending behavior make them easy to learn with, while the 120 and 180 sets grow with you as your skills develop.

Q: Can I blend the H900 pencils with solvents or blending pencils?

A: Yes. The H900 responds well to colorless blending pencils and odorless mineral spirits or baby oil for solvent blending. This allows for smooth gradients and painterly effects.

Q: Are the colors lightfast / archival?

A: The H900 series uses lightfast pigments designed to resist fading over time, making them suitable for artwork intended for display or archival purposes.

Q: Which set size should I choose?

A: Choose the 72-color set if you’re starting out or want a portable everyday kit. The 120-color set is ideal for intermediate artists who need more tonal variety. The 180-color set is the professional’s choice — offering the full spectrum for complex, highly detailed work.

Q: What surfaces work best with the H900 pencils?

A: These pencils perform best on smooth to medium-texture paper (90–160gsm), illustration board, toned paper, and mixed media surfaces. Heavily textured watercolor paper is not recommended as the primary surface.
