This high-quality watercolour pencil combines the precision of a pencil with the soft effects of watercolour paint. The lightfast pigments ensure intense colours that stay beautiful for a long time, perfect for art projects and illustrations.
When do you choose this product?
Who is this water-soluble watercolour pencil intended for?
This Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencil is perfect for artists who want to experiment with different techniques within a single work. You can draw with it like an ordinary coloured pencil and then transform it into watercolour paint with water. Dark Indigo is a versatile colour that is suitable for both detailed work and broad areas.
Why choose this specific colour?
Dark Indigo (colour code 157) is a deep, rich blue shade that is indispensable in your colour palette. This colour works excellently for shadows, night scenes, and as a base for mixing darker tones. Thanks to its high lightfastness, your artworks will retain their original colour intensity for years.
What makes this pencil technically special?
The special bonding ensures that the 3.8 mm thick core does not break, even under intensive use. The high-quality pigments produce a soft, colour-saturated stroke that dissolves well in water. This allows you to create beautiful colour gradations and a variety of transparency effects.
Practical usage tip
At a length of 176 mm, this pencil sits comfortably in the hand during extended drawing sessions. Always start with dry techniques and only add water once you are satisfied with the composition. Use different amounts of water to vary between intense colours and subtle washes.

Dex knows - user tips
After colouring, you can blend the colour out and dilute it with a damp brush or wet finger — this gives you a lovely watercolour effect.
