The Prismacolor Premier 24 set is an artist-grade, wax-based colored pencil line with soft cores built for blending and shading. The softness gives rich, opaque color in one stroke and smooth layering, and the pigment is water-resistant and needs no fixative. The 24-color range covers a usable spread of greens, blues, reds, earths and violets. Compared with harder student pencils, the Premier lays down color faster but wears down quicker and its cores are not break resistant, so it suits artists who blend heavily rather than those who press hard.
