Stockmar 16 Wax Stick Crayons in a Wooden Box | Colour Wheel Assortment

Sixteen Stockmar Wax Crayons arranged in a balanced palette inspired by Goethe’s harmonious colour wheel. Spanning vibrant primary tones, nuanced secondary shades and grounding earth colours, this 16-colour assortment offers depth, contrast and versatility for expressive drawing.

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 while supporting creative colour exploration. 

Opening the sliding wooden box 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 and allows for smooth transitions between tones. 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. Light-coloured wax crayon can be used to create highlights and resist effects beneath transparent washes.
