Signature Pearlescent Cream Sticks

Lay down these Cream Sticks in 10 pearlescent colors and glide their creamy texture across paper, especially on dark backgrounds where the shimmer and shine is most vibrant. Enjoy less mess, too! Unlike traditional oil pastels, their pen-style casing and twist up core allows them to be held without color rubbing onto hands. Plus, caps and clips keep these coloring supplies protected and ready for on-the-go use. Now that’s smart art!

SIMPLE BLENDING: Create a pearlescent paint effect by adding water to more easily blend the colors. Follow the simple steps below for beginners.

To blend wet:

1. Pick 2 similar colors.
2. Color back and forth with the darker color to create a few consecutive lines.
3. Below your first set of lines, color back and forth with the lighter color, overlapping 2 or 3 lines with the first color.
4. Wet a paintbrush and swish between the two colors until blended.
5. Apply more color as needed to maintain full ground coverage.

To blend dry:

1. Pick 2 similar colors.
2. Color back and forth, laying down a generous amount with the darker color to create a few consecutive lines.
3. Below your first set of lines, do the same with the lighter color, overlapping 2 or 3 lines with the first color.
4. Go back and forth with the two colors until a smooth gradient is achieved.
