Since these “pencils” are filled with a dense grease paint, the pigments can be blended on the model a la dry-brush style or the pencil can be dipped in water and the resulting paint-like solution that comes off the tip can be used for a myriad of techniques from heavy chipping to washes; pretty neat. I first saw these “pencils” at the IPMS Nationals in Chattanooga and was impressed with what could be done with them.
