DRAWING FROM EXPERIENCE WITH PENCILS FROM ROYMAC AND KOH-I-NOOR

We can draw on the past, draw from experience, draw a blank, go back to the drawing board … or we can simply draw. One of the first things we are taught as children is to draw. It’s a means of expression, a way to tell a story, or a tool to explore creativity. It’s relaxing, it’s fun and (let’s face it) it’s cleaner and easier than painting!

You want a pencil that is thick and strong, with a fully bonded colour strip and bright, vibrant pigments. You want pencils that you can rely on and that make you love the drawing experience.

Roymac and Koh-I-Noor, brands that are renowned in the art industry, provide drawing materials whose quality has never been compromised. In fact, they’re designed by people who really love what they do. Roymac pencils are designed by Australian artists, for artists, so you can be assured that the products are the best they can be. Roymac products are designed to encourage you to create. The pencils are made using only fine quality pigments, so you can be assured of their value.

Roymac Life Pencils are for the serious or hobbyist portrait artist. The colour selection of Life Pencils comprises graduated skin (flesh) tones (cool and warm), and white. Encased in a natural wood barrel, the 6mm colour strip possesses strong pigment concentration, providing a smooth and even colour lay down. The pencils are fully bonded to ensure strength and durability and provide a reliable and quality product for life drawing and portraiture. Bring your artwork to life with Roymac Life Pencils.

For the serious sketch artist, Roymac has developed the Roymac Greys Sketching Set. The set consists of 12 grades of fully bonded, fine quality graphite, available in: 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H and 2H. The fully bonded
