Giorgione Triangular Oil Colored Pencils — Premium Tin Set

Color the way you mean it. The Giorgione Triangular Oil Colored Pencils are built for artists, illustrators, and students who demand rich, consistent pigment and smooth layering performance from their colored pencils. The oil-based core glides across paper with a buttery feel, blending effortlessly and building up color with depth and vibrancy that wax-based pencils struggle to match.

The triangular barrel isn't just a design choice — it naturally positions your fingers in the correct grip, reducing fatigue during long drawing sessions and preventing the pencil from rolling off your desk. Housed in a sturdy collectible tin box, this set is as satisfying to own as it is to use. Available in 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 120 colors — from a compact starter set to a full professional palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Oil-based pencils use an oil-binder in the core instead of wax. This results in smoother layering, less waxy buildup on the paper surface (known as "wax bloom"), and generally richer color saturation. Oil-based pencils also tend to blend more naturally and are preferred by many illustrators for detailed work.

Q: Which color count should I choose?

A: As a general guide: 12–24 colors are great for beginners and casual use; 36–48 colors suit students and hobbyists who want a broader palette; 72–120 colors are ideal for serious artists and illustrators who need nuanced color gradations and a full spectrum of shades.

Q: Why is the barrel triangular?

A: The triangular shape naturally guides your thumb, index, and middle finger into the correct tripod grip — the same principle used in ergonomic writing instruments. This reduces hand fatigue during long drawing sessions and keeps the pencil stable in your hand. It also prevents the pencil from rolling off a tilted desk.

Q: Can these pencils be used in coloring books?

A: Yes. The smooth oil-based core works beautifully in coloring books — it lays down color evenly, blends well between shades, and doesn't tear through standard coloring book paper when used with moderate pressure.

Q: Are the colors lightfast?

A: Giorgione's oil-based pencils use pigments formulated for lightfastness, meaning the colors resist fading when exposed to light over time. This makes them suitable for artwork intended for display or archiving.

Q: Is the tin box reusable?

A: Yes. The metal tin is sturdy and designed for long-term use — it makes an excellent storage case for the pencils even after the original set is used up, and can be repurposed for storing other art supplies.
