Prismacolor is a popular brand of professional artist supplies offering a variety of products including colored pencils, markers, pastels, charcoal and graphite.

The Art Stix are available in 48 colors.  The Colored Pencils are available in 132 colors. The Verithin Pencils are available in 32 colors.  The great advantage to these products is the consitency.  Meaning, an Indigo color in the Art Stix line is the same as an Indigo in the Verithin line.

The Art Stix is essentially a woodless colored pencil. It can be used straight from the box without sharpening. It has the same beautiful consistency as the Colored Pencils. You can produce a variety of different marks with the Art Stix by utilizing the various edges and points. Thin lines, thick lines, delicate or bold are all possible.  They are also great when producing large works of art as it is easier to cover larger areas.

The Verithin Pencil is an artist quality hard formulation. This means it will hold a nice sharp point and is excellent for fine lines and detailed work. These would be an ideal pencil if you are a Wildlife Artist  for instance and need to draw convincing fur and hair…

Prismacolor Colored Pencils

Prismacolor Colored Pencils are the most popular colored pencils we sell. Each colored pencil features a thick, soft core made from brilliant, light-resistant pigments, to ensure smooth, rich laydown and color saturation. The colors are easily blended, slow to wear, break-resistant, and waterproof. Each 3.8 mm core is enclosed in a round cedar casing that is lacquered to match the core.

Choose from a variety of sets — or replenish your favorites with the individual colored pencils listed below. Set contents are listed on the Item Specs tab of this page. Note — Set contents may occasionally vary from the colors listed. Note — Manual sharpening is recommended for these pencils. Clogging can be prevented in electric sharpeners by periodically sharpening a graphite pencil to keep the blades clean.
