Distress Crayons by Tim Holtz are water-reactive pigment sticks created for layered mixed media work, smooth color transitions and depth. Their creamy formulation allows direct, controlled application and can be used dry or activated with water for subtle blending.
They are ideal for soft backgrounds, shading, details and aging effects. Distress Crayons work with fingers, brushes, sponges or stencils and blend naturally with Distress Inks and Distress Oxides.
