What are watercolour pencils and when do you use them?
Watercolour pencils are water-soluble coloured pencils that let you draw dry as well as create watercolour effects. You use them for artistic projects, illustrations and creative work where you want to combine the versatility of dry and wet techniques. With water, you can blend the pigments and create soft transitions.

Why 24 colours is a practical choice
A set of 24 watercolour pencils gives you an extensive colour palette with all the primary colours, secondary shades and neutral colours such as white, grey and black. This collection includes warm tones such as apricot and orange-brown, cool colours such as cobalt blue and cyan, plus natural earth tones such as burnt sienna and Van Dyck brown. This allows you to realise a variety of projects without having to constantly buy extra colours.

Practical features of the hexagonal shape
The hexagonal shape stops the pencils from rolling off your worktable, which is especially handy during longer drawing sessions. The ABS lead protection sleeve protects the 3 mm thick core against breaking, so the pencils last longer. These features make the pencils suitable for regular use in office, school or hobby environments.

Tips for optimal use
For the watercolour effect, first apply the colour dry and then go over it with a damp brush. Store the pencils horizontally in the packaging to protect the tips well. Because of their water-soluble properties, you can also mix different colours by wetting them and letting them flow together on paper.
