With these watercolour pencils, you can bring colour and creativity to your workspace. The break-resistant lead works both dry and with water, so you can always sketch or colour in flexibly. The handy storage case keeps all 12 colours neatly together.
When do you choose this product?
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 draw with them like ordinary coloured pencils, but you can also add water to create watercolour effects. This makes them ideal for artists who want flexibility between dry and wet techniques, or for beginners who want to try watercolour without immediately investing in paint.
Why choose this 12-piece metal tin?
This set contains 12 different colours, including basic colours such as yellow, red, blue and green, plus more subtle shades such as bordeaux red, light blue, rose lilac and van Dyke brown. The metal tin protects your pencils on the go and keeps everything neatly organised. For beginners or occasional use, this selection offers plenty of colour options without being overwhelming.
Strong features of these coloured pencils
The pencils have a 3.0 mm thick, break-resistant lead in a hexagonal shape that sits well in the hand and does not roll away. They are lightfast, which means your colours will not fade quickly in daylight. You can use them dry or mix them with water for watercolour effects, which gives you plenty of creative freedom.
Practical tip for optimal use
At a length of 175 mm, these pencils are a comfortable size for extended drawing. For the best watercolour effects, use a damp brush over your coloured surface, or lightly moisten the tip of the pencil before drawing. Always store the pencils in the supplied metal tin to prevent damage to the leads.
