When should you choose a watercolour pencil?
A watercolour pencil combines the precision of an ordinary coloured pencil with the possibilities of watercolour paint. You use it dry for detailed drawings or add water to create soft, flowing watercolour effects. This makes it ideal for artists who want to combine line and area in one work.

Why choose this natural umber colour?
Umber is a warm, earthy brown tone that is essential in every artist's palette. This natural umber variant gives you subtle, warm shadows and is perfect for portraits, landscapes and nature studies. The colour blends well with other shades and forms a natural basis for many artworks.

Quality that stands up to use
This pencil contains high-quality pigments that ensure vibrant colour and lightfastness, so your work won't fade. The 3.8 mm lead is break-resistant thanks to a special bonding process and leaves a soft, colourful stroke. Thanks to this sturdy construction, you can use the pencil intensively without the lead breaking easily.

Practical features for everyday use
At a length of 176 mm, this pencil sits comfortably in your hand during longer drawing sessions. The water-soluble lead means you can go over your dry pencil strokes with a wet brush to achieve watercolour effects. Experiment with different amounts of water for varying transparency and colour intensity.
