Set with Drawing Pad and 12 Watercolor Pencils Bertus

Bertus set with drawing pad and 12 watercolor pencils combines a portable drawing surface and a compact pack of aqua pencils designed for sketching, coloring and creating watercolor effects. The pad contains blank sheets suitable for dry and wet techniques, while the 12 watercolor pencils produce vibrant, blendable color when applied dry or activated with water. The set is intended as an accessible kit for hobbyists, students and beginners who need a lightweight solution for practice, school projects and travel sketching.

Advantages

The included watercolor pencils allow for dual use: conventional colored-pencil drawing and soluble washes after applying water. The drawing pad provides a stable, transportable surface sized for quick sketches and studies. Together the materials form a compact kit that fits into a backpack or art bag, reducing the need to carry separate paper and pencil sets. The pencils are easy to blend and layer for tonal variation, and the pad’s paper is suitable for pencil and light wet work.

• School art assignments and classroom drawing exercises

How to use

Use the pencils dry for standard sketching and colored-pencil techniques. To create watercolor effects, apply strokes on the pad and then use a wet brush to activate and blend the pigment, working quickly while the pigment is still soluble. Layer colors by allowing areas to dry between applications or blend wet-on-wet for softer transitions. The pad supports light washes; avoid heavy soaking to prevent buckling of the paper. Sharpen pencils as needed and test techniques on a spare sheet before working on a final piece.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a round water brush or a fine watercolor brush and moderate amounts of water. Store the set in a dry place and replace the pad when sheets are used up. When traveling, protect pencil tips with a small case to prevent breakage.
