PrismaColor Premier Vs. PrismaColor Verithin

> P.C. Premier is Softer (Can compare this to a 4B in Graphite) Wax Based. Vibrant. Good for shading, blending.


> P.C. Verithin is Harder (Can compare this to a 2H in Graphite) Wax Based, Thinner, more compacted lead. The Verithin are also easier to erase if working lightly. Can be sharpened to a finer point which makes it good for details. Not good for blending or shading.

> Both are soluble with oil based mediums and can be turned into washes on primed canvas surfaces or panels for under painting.  

​

> Other Top Quality Colored Pencils: Caran d'Ache, Faber Castell (oil)

Graphite Artwork: Staedtler Lumograph

I primarily use Staedtler (BEST) however I still use other brands like Derwent.

Paper: Strathmore

Bristol Smooth by Strathmore is by far 1 of the Top best selections of Paper. See Price Chart/Structure for Sizes I currently use. Has a Card stock quality feel to it, very smooth, Excellent for blending. Acid Free prevents yellowing & helps preserve the artwork longer. Good for colored pencils & graphite.
