I still have these colored pencils, even though I do not use them as much as I used to. They do not take up a lot of space, which is one reason why I saved this item from my childhood. Also, colored pencils are practical items rather than toys. They are not something I can ever outgrow. The only thing that may change will be the need to replace the set once the pencils are completely worn down.

My grandmother taught me a lot about how to develop self-confidence and to dream about my future. The coloring pencils were tools of self-expression.

Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon.
