What are watercolour pencils and when do you use them?
Watercolour pencils combine the convenience of coloured pencils with the possibilities of watercolour paint. You can use them dry, like ordinary coloured pencils, but you can also add water to create watercolour effects. This makes them ideal for art projects where you want to combine different techniques, from detailed linework to smooth colour gradations.

Why choose a set of 36 pieces?
With 36 colours, you have an extensive base for varied artworks. This number offers enough colour choice for realistic drawings and creative experiments, without being overwhelmed by an excess of shades. The metal tin keeps your pencils organised and protects them from damage during transport.

The 2.8 mm lead width in practice
The 2.8 mm lead is thicker than standard coloured pencils, so you can colour large areas more quickly. This thickness also gives you more control when applying water: the wider lead holds more pigment, resulting in more intense colours when you wet them. For very fine details, you can still sharpen the tip.

Practical tip for the best results
Use watercolour paper or sturdy drawing paper that can handle water. Always start with a dry sketch and gradually add water with a brush. Start with light colours and slowly build up to darker shades. You can also use the metal tin as a mixing palette by dripping a little water onto the lid.
