Stockmar 8 Wax Block Crayons in a Tin | Colours of the World – Skin Tone Crayons

Eight Stockmar Wax Block Crayons selected to reflect the naturally occurring tones found in our world. Drawn from Stockmar’s harmonious colour wheel, this palette includes warm earth shades, soft pinks and deep browns that support drawing landscapes, trees, animals and people with depth and realism.

Opening the tin releases the natural, warm aroma of beeswax, a subtle sensory reminder of the material at the heart of each crayon. The tones range from soft pinks through warm ochres and deep browns to black, offering a broad foundation for expressive portrait and figure drawing.

Natural Beeswax Formula
Stockmar wax block crayons are formulated with approximately 10% beeswax, carefully balanced to achieve the ideal warmth, smooth application and durability. The absence of filling materials allows the pigments to remain vibrant and translucent, enhancing their ability to layer and blend without dulling.

Why Choose Stockmar Wax Block Crayons?
Unlike traditional stick crayons, wax block crayons offer multiple drawing surfaces. Their flat sides, long edges and corners allow children to create broad areas of colour, soft gradients and varied line widths with ease. This is why Wax Blocks are so popular in Waldorf education settings.

The sturdy shape makes them especially suitable for beginners while remaining versatile enough for older children. They encourage confident, full-arm drawing rather than heavy outlines, supporting smooth blending and subtle tonal variation. Each block measures 41 x 23 x 12mm, providing a durable and substantial drawing tool.

Layering and Blending Natural Tones
These crayons are particularly suited to layering techniques. Colours can be built gradually so that tones beneath shine through those applied on top, allowing for nuanced variations in bark, soil, fur, feathers and skin.

The included scraping tool enables additional texture and detail where desired, and the crayons do not smear, crumble or stick, ensuring clean and consistent results.
