Key specifications

• Form factor: triangular wooden barrel for ergonomic grip
• Core type: water-soluble pigment cores for wet or dry use

How to use

Use the pencils dry for precise lines, hatching and detailed drawing. To activate color, draw on paper and then apply a wet brush over the drawn strokes to dissolve the pigment and create watercolor washes. For smoother blends, apply water progressively and work from light to dark tones. Sharpen the pencils with a standard sharpener suitable for wooden pencils to maintain fine points for detailed work.

Usage recommendations

Choose paper rated for mixed media or watercolor to avoid buckling when applying water. Test color intensity on a scrap to determine how much water will produce the desired wash. Allow layers to dry between applications to preserve tonal separation and prevent overworking the paper.
