When should you choose a watercolour pencil?
A watercolour pencil combines the ease of a pencil with the artistic possibilities of watercolour paint. You use this pencil when you want to make drawings that you can later work up with water into watercolour paintings. This makes it ideal for sketches on the go, colour studies, or when you want to keep the control of a pencil before moving on to the watercolour effect.

Why choose the 3.8 mm lead thickness?
With a lead thickness of 3.8 mm, you have a relatively thick core that is suitable for both fine details and filling in larger areas. This thickness provides a soft and colour-rich stroke, which is especially important when working with skin tones, where you often need subtle transitions and blending techniques.

Water-soluble properties and lightfastness
This watercolour pencil contains high-quality pigments that ensure good lightfastness and colour brilliance. When you add water, the bright watercolour lead dissolves and you can create soft transitions and transparent layers. The special adhesive bond in the pencil prevents the core from breaking during use, even when working intensively.

Practical application for skin tones
The skin colour (colour code 132) in this range is specifically developed for realistic portraits and figure studies. The length of 176 mm gives you sufficient grip and control while drawing. Store the pencil horizontally to keep the core in optimal condition, and use clean water to let the watercolour effects shine.
