Watercolor Pencils BIC Aquacouleurs 12 pcs

BIC Aquacouleurs watercolor pencils, 12 pcs, combine the precision of a colored pencil with the fluid effects of watercolor. Each wooden pencil contains a high-pigment core that delivers vibrant color and good coverage on a variety of paper types. Use dry for detailed drawing and layering or apply a wet brush to the applied pigment to create smooth watercolor washes and blended transitions.

Advantages

These wooden colored pencils feature a glued-in lead and a durable formulation that resists breaking when sharpened. The high-pigment cores provide intense, even color and are suitable for both line work and wash techniques. The hexagonal shape ensures comfortable grip and control for prolonged use. The set is PVC-free and designed with user safety in mind for children aged three and older.

How to use

Use the pencils dry for precise lines, hatching and layering. To obtain watercolor effects, apply color to paper and then pass a wet paintbrush over the pigment to dissolve and spread the pigment into a wash. Work in light layers, allowing paper to dry between applications if you want to preserve distinct layers. Sharpen pencils as needed for fine detail; the glued lead reduces core breakage during sharpening and use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use medium-weight watercolor or mixed-media paper to prevent buckling. Test color blending on a scrap sheet to plan washes and layering, and rinse the brush between colors to keep tones clear.
