General Pencil Company was founded in 1889 and is still owned by the original family. This New Jersey-based manufacturer is one of only two of its kind left in the United States! While the brand was founded on high quality graphite writing pencils, they're best known for their art materials these days, including these creamy water-soluble colored pencils. Just use them as a regular colored pencil, or get it wet for a paint effect.
