Key specifications

How to use

Use the pencils dry for precise lines and details, then apply a damp brush to blend and dissolve the pigment for watercolor effects. For washes, lay down color on paper first and then brush with water to create gradients and soft edges. Layer dry and wet passes to build depth, allowing papers to dry between applications as needed. The metal tin keeps the pencils organized and makes it easy to carry the set to classes or outdoor sessions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on medium-weight to heavyweight watercolor or mixed-media paper that tolerates water without buckling. Start with light layers and gradually intensify color; test blending on a scrap sheet to assess water amount and brush pressure.
