When do you need watercolour pencils?
Watercolour pencils are ideal when you want to both draw and paint in one piece of work. You can first draw with the pencil and then add water to create watercolour effects. This makes them perfect for creative projects where you want to combine different techniques.

Why choose the triangular shape?
The triangular shape of this pencil provides a natural grip and prevents the pencil from rolling off your worktable. This ergonomic shape is especially useful for extended drawing sessions, as your hand tires less quickly. The Soft-Grip Zone adds to this comfort.

The benefit of a 3.0 mm lead
With a lead diameter of 3.0 mm, you can create both fine details and broader areas of colour. This thickness gives you plenty of control over the line width depending on the angle at which you hold the pencil. For watercolour techniques, this thickness is ideal because you deposit enough pigment on the paper to create beautiful colour gradients.

Practical details for everyday use
This pencil has a length of 175 mm, which offers a comfortable working length for most drawing tasks. The name field on the side is handy for marking your pencil, especially in shared workspaces such as schools or studios. Store the pencil horizontally to best preserve the point.
