Stockmar 8 Wax Stick Crayons in a Tin | Standard Rainbow Assortment
Eight Stockmar Wax Crayons presented in a versatile colour palette combining vibrant primary and secondary tones with earth shades and black. This Rainbow selection supports layering, colour mixing, and artistic development.
Long associated with Waldorf kindergartens and schools, Stockmar wax crayons are widely used when children begin drawing and early writing. Their smooth glide and strong colour payoff encourage confident mark-making from the very first lines. Opening the tin releases the natural, warm aroma of beeswax, a sensory reminder of the material at the heart of each crayon.
Techniques & Blending
These stick crayons are particularly wide and thick, making them durable and less prone to snapping than conventional crayons. Their shape allows both generous surface colouring and more controlled line work. They can be sharpened using a wide crayon sharpener, allowing you to refine the tip for detailed drawing after extended use.
Colours can be layered so that the shade beneath shimmers through the layer above, creating optical colour mixing and subtle tonal variation. Applying each new layer in a different direction enhances blending effects. Each set includes a scraping tool, enabling hatched designs, etched detail and the careful revealing of colours layered beneath, a technique often used in Waldorf-inspired art lessons.
Stockmar wax crayons are water-resistant, making them ideal for use alongside watercolour paints. When a wax crayon is applied to paper before wetting and painting, the watercolour will not cover those areas. This resist effect allows highlights, patterns and accents to remain visible beneath transparent washes.
