It looks like a gel crayon, but its actually solid tempera paint in a stick! Is it drawing or painting? Either way, it goes on paper smoothly, dries in just 90 seconds so when you touch it, it doesnt smudge or come off. The colors are bold with lots of pigment and you can use them on paper, poster paper, cardboard, canvas and even wood. Perfect for those times when you dont want to mess with getting out liquid tempera paint, water, brushes, etc. These are keepers! Offered in vibrant rainbow colors, bright neons, shiny bold metallic, and in a Thin Stix with a smaller tip for better control and detail work. And remember, these are paints so keep them capped when not in use. Non-toxic. ~ Emily
