How to use

Use the pencils dry for regular coloring and layering. For wash effects, apply color on paper and activate with a damp brush or water brush to blend pigments and create watercolor-style gradients. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener; for more even washes, apply pigment more densely before adding water. Combine colors by layering dry or wet to achieve intermediate tones and smooth transitions.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils in the metal tin when not in use to protect cores from breakage and to keep colors organized. Test water activation on scrap paper to assess pigment intensity and paper compatibility; use heavier weight or watercolor paper for best wash results.
