## Summary description

Caran d'Ache SUPRACOLOR Sonderedition is a set of 18 water-soluble artists' pencils with soft cores designed for drawing, sketching and watercolor effects. The watercolor pencils allow dry application with rich pigment and can be blended with water to create washes, gradients and mixed-media illustrations. Suitable for professional and hobby artists.

## Long description

Caran d'Ache SUPRACOLOR Sonderedition 18-color watercolor artists' pencils are water-soluble, soft-core pencils designed for drawing, sketching and producing watercolor effects. The set contains 18 carefully selected pigments that apply smoothly for dense color laydown in dry use and transform into transparent washes when activated with water. These pencils target users who want precise line work, layering and seamless blending between drawing and painted passages.
Advantages
The soft core provides strong color saturation with minimal pressure, enabling smooth gradations and easy layering. Water-solubility lets you switch from dry pencil techniques to wet washes without changing tools, and the high-quality pigments retain clarity when diluted. The compact 18-color selection balances portability and range, suitable for travel, fieldwork and studio sketches.
Suitable for
Sketching and preliminary studies
Watercolor effects and wash techniques
Mixed-media illustrations combining pencil and water
Portraits, landscapes and botanical drawings
Hobby and professional artwork requiring precise control
When it may not be suitable
This 18-color set offers a curated palette rather than a full spectrum for exact color matching; artists who need an extensive range of hues or very specific color matches may prefer larger sets. The soft core is prone to wear if used with heavy pressure, so it may not be ideal for techniques that require very hard, fine lines without frequent sharpening.
Key specifications
Number of colors: 18
Core type: soft, water-soluble pigment cores
Intended use: drawing, sketching, watercolor washes, mixed media
Form factor: pencil set in a compact case suitable for transport and storage
How to use
Apply the pencils dry for precise lines, hatching and layering. To produce watercolor effects, apply color on dry paper and blend with a wet brush; use more water to create transparent washes or less for subtle gradients. For mixed-media work, layer dry pencil over washed areas after they are fully dry to add detail and contrast. Keep a sharpener and a variety of brushes on hand to vary stroke widths and blending styles.
What to consider before purchase
Whether an 18-color selection provides the hues you need for your projects
Paper type: heavier, watercolor-capable paper improves wet blending and reduces buckling
Sharpeners: soft cores require a sharpener designed for colored pencils to avoid breakage
Usage recommendations
For best results, test colors on the paper you plan to use, build tones gradually with layers, and blend with a soft, round brush to preserve pigment transparency. Store pencils horizontally to reduce risk of breakage and keep the case closed when transporting.
