The history of colored pencils

Colored pencils have been around since the 19th century. The earliest crayons were made of graphite, but later the color was made from colored pigments and the rods were made of clay or wax. Today, there are different types of crayons available and technology has made it possible to produce high-quality crayons with a wide range of colors.

Types of crayons

There are different types of colored pencils and each type has different properties and uses.

Oil-based colored pencils

Oil-based crayons are a type of crayon that uses an oil-based color pigment, as opposed to water or wax, which is common in other types of crayons. Known for their richness of color and depth, these crayons are ideal for creating intense coloring and strong lines. Oil-based crayons are also known for their durability, making them suitable for working on materials such as paper and canvas. These crayons are a great option for artists who want to create vibrant and strong colors in their artwork, or for those working with materials that require more durable coloring.

Water-based colored pencils

Water-based crayons are a type of colored pencil that uses a water-based color pigment, as opposed to oil or wax, which is common in other types of crayons. These crayons are particularly popular among artists as they allow for a smoother and more natural color application. Water-based crayons can also be tinted and mixed with water to create a watercolor effect, making them ideal for creating shadows and gradients. Additionally, water-based crayons can be easily rinsed off with water, making them easy to work with and clean up after. These crayons are a great option for beginners who want to experiment with coloring techniques, or for more experienced artists who want to create more natural-looking artwork.

Watercolor pencils

Watercolor pencils are a type of colored pencil that uses a water-based color pigment, as opposed to oil or wax, which is common in other types of colored pencils. These crayons are particularly popular among artists as they allow for a softer and more natural color application. Watercolor pencils can also be tinted and mixed with water to create a watercolor effect, making them ideal for creating shadows and gradients. Additionally, watercolor pencils can be easily rinsed off with water, making them easy to work with and clean up after.
