The Pelikan watercolour pencil set contains 12 colors presented in a hanging box: Black, Blue, Blush, Brown, Green, Light Blue, Light Green, Orange, Pink, Red, Rose, Violet and Yellow.

How to use

Use the pencils dry for precise lines, hatching and detailed shading. To create watercolour effects, apply pencil colour to paper and then use a wet brush to dissolve the pigment and blend tones. Build layers by allowing washes to dry between applications, and use lighter pressure for subtle tints or firmer pressure for saturated colour. Suitable paper choices include heavyweight sketch or watercolour paper to prevent buckling when water is applied.

Usage recommendations

For best results, sharpen with a quality pencil sharpener designed for coloured pencils and test water activation on a scrap of the same paper before working on the final piece. Store the set in a dry place and keep the hanging box closed to protect the pencils when not in use.
