Versatile watercolour pencil that delivers beautiful results both dry and wet. The high-quality pigments give a rich, lightfast colour that lasts a long time, ideal for artists who value quality.
When do you choose this product?
What does this product do and when do you need it?
The Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencil is designed for artists and illustrators who want to work with the versatility of both dry coloured pencil techniques and watercolour techniques. You use it when you want to apply colour as a pencil and then work it up with a wet brush into smooth watercolour paintings. This makes it particularly suitable for sketchbooks, illustrations and detailed artworks.
Why this variant is the right choice
This pencil is available in colour 280, burnt umber — a warm, earthy brown tint that is ideal for shadows, skin tones and natural subjects such as landscapes or portraiture. The lead has a diameter of 3.8 mm, which offers a good balance between precision and coverage. At a length of 176 mm, you have a pencil that sits comfortably in the hand for longer working sessions. This pack contains 6 pieces, which is practical if you work with this colour regularly.
An honest explanation of the most important feature
The water-soluble lead is the core feature of this pencil. When you apply water to the drawn lines, the pigment layer dissolves and an watercolour effect is created. The manufacturer states a high lightfastness and colour brilliance, which means your work is less likely to fade on exposure to light — a relevant property if you want to preserve or exhibit your art.
Practical tip for use and storage
The lead is protected with a special bonding technique intended to limit breakage, even if the pencil is dropped. Nevertheless, it is wise to store watercolour pencils upright or keep them in a protective case. Preferably use this pencil on sturdy watercolour paper, so that the paper can handle the moisture when wetting without warping or tearing.

Dex knows - user tips
Once you've finished drawing, you can go over the lines with a wet brush to create a watercolour effect. Use little water for subtle shades, and more water for a fuller spread.
