## Long description

Caran d'Ache Swisscolor watercolor pencils in a cardboard box, 12 pieces, provide a compact set of pigment-rich leads that work for both dry sketching and water-activated techniques. The pencils are designed to produce smooth colour laydown when used dry and to release vibrant washes when brushed with water, enabling a range of effects from fine detail to soft gradients. The set in simple cardboard packaging is convenient for travel, urban sketching and mixed-media projects where portability and colour quality matter.
Advantages
The pencils combine the precision of coloured pencils with the versatility of water-soluble pigments, allowing controlled drawing and fluid blending. Leads are formulated for even pigment distribution and good solubility, so colours mix predictably under a wet brush. The compact 12-piece selection covers essential hues for sketching, layering and tonal variation while the cardboard box keeps the set lightweight and easy to carry.
Suitable for
Field sketching and travel illustration
Watercolour effects in mixed-media artwork
Detailed drawing with the option to blend with water
Art studies, urban sketching and quick colour notes
Key specifications
Quantity: 12 pencils in set
Type: water-soluble coloured pencils (watercolour pencils)
Packaging: cardboard box for compact storage
Applications: dry drawing and water-activated washes
Suitable surfaces: paper for watercolour, mixed-media paper, sketchbooks
How to use
Use the pencils dry for precise lines and detailed rendering. To activate the pigments, apply a wet brush to pencil marks to dissolve and blend colours, creating washes and gradients. For layered effects, let one wash dry before applying additional pencil strokes or subsequent washes. Sharpen regularly with an appropriate pencil sharpener to maintain fine points for detail work.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use on paper designed for water-based media; heavier or textured papers will hold washes better and reduce buckling. Start with light pressure to build tones gradually and rinse your brush between colours to maintain clarity of pigments.
