Introducing Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor professional colored pencils—When used on light or white paper, these pencils unleash their full vibrancy, making your artwork glow with intensity. Unlike other mediums, colored pencils don't require a base layer for the strokes to adhere—they're crafted with highly stable pigments bound to a fine medium, making them indispensable for professional artists. Each pencil's smooth, round body is made from premium cedar wood, sustainably sourced and certified by Italy's PEFC. The color-dipped end seamlessly matches the pencil's shade, enhancing both aesthetic and functionality. With a lead diameter of 4 mm, Polycolor pencils offer superior performance, featuring permanent pigments that resist UV rays. They're waterproof, vivid, and blend effortlessly, offering an infinite range of shades, hues, and muted tones. These pencils are perfect for any illustration or drawing style and excel on rough surfaces, where they grip the texture, delivering rich, enduring color. Having spent over 200 years providing quality products to artists, schools & offices all over the world, the historic LYRA brand — founded by Johann Froescheis in Nuremberg in 1806 — is one of the oldest pencil companies in the world.
