Dual-Functionality – Dry or Wet Use
These watercolour pencils offer two artistic experiences in one tool:
-
Dry Use: When used as traditional colored pencils, they deliver vibrant colours, smooth strokes, and fine details. Their soft yet durable core glides effortlessly across paper, making them ideal for sketching, shading, and layering.
-
Wet Use: Simply apply a damp brush to your drawing to activate the pigments. Watch the colour transform into delicate, painterly washes, giving your artwork a watercolour painting effect. This makes the set perfect for mixed-media artists who enjoy experimenting with texture and fluidity.
Rich, Blendable Colours
This carefully selected set of 12 assorted hues provides a balanced spectrum of warm, cool, and neutral tones. From deep blues and bold reds to earthy greens and golden yellows, the pencils offer excellent pigment load and blend beautifully, both wet and dry. Mix shades effortlessly to create custom palettes, subtle gradients, or dramatic contrast.
The soft leads are designed for smooth layering and shading, allowing you to build up colour without scratching or damaging the paper. When activated with water, the pigments disperse evenly, creating stunning watercolour effects without the need for paints or palettes.
Premium Quality with Artist-Friendly Design
Crafted for comfort and control, each pencil features a hexagonal wooden barrel that’s easy to grip, helping reduce hand fatigue during long drawing sessions. The cores are strong and break-resistant, minimising chipping during sharpening or heavy use.
Encased in a protective metal tin, this set is highly portable—ideal for sketching on the go, plein air painting, art classes, or slipping into a travel bag or backpack. The tin helps keep your pencils organised, protected, and always ready to inspire creativity wherever you are.
