With these SWISSCOLOR pencils from CARAN D'ACHE, you effortlessly add colour and depth to your drawings. The water-soluble, break-resistant lead makes the transition from dry sketch to watercolour work simple. All 12 colours together form a complete basic palette for home or on the go.
When do you choose this product?
What are watercolour pencils and when do you use them?
Watercolour pencils combine the convenience of coloured pencils with the possibilities of watercolour paint. You first draw dry, just like with regular coloured pencils, after which you can wash the colours out with water and a brush to create watercolour effects. This makes them ideal for sketching on the go, illustrations and creative projects where you want both line drawings and paint effects.
Why this set of 12 colours is sufficient
With 12 carefully selected colours such as cobalt blue, emerald green, scarlet red and purple, you have a complete basic palette. The colours are chosen so that, through mixing and the watercolour effect, you can create a broad spectrum. For beginners and advanced users alike, this offers a perfect balance between variety and overview.
Benefits of the soft, break-resistant lead
The 2.8 mm thick lead is soft enough for smooth drawing and good colour release, yet break-resistant for intensive use. Thanks to its water-soluble properties, the colour dissolves easily when you go over it with a damp brush, allowing you to create beautiful colour gradients and transparent layers.
Practical details for optimal use
The hexagonal cedarwood ensures the pencils don't roll away while you work. Always start with light pressure and build up colour gradually – you can always add more water later for more intense effects.
