Artist Series – Signature Quality by STAEDTLER

With roots dating back to 1662 and founded in 1835, STAEDTLER’s passion has been to support creative minds with tools they can trust for centuries.

This rich heritage flows directly into the STAEDTLER Artist Series – where uncompromising quality meets boundless creativity. One member of the Artist Series is the Mars Lumograph colour aquarell, a highly pigmented watercolour pencil. Whether used dry or activated with water, it opens up a world of vibrant transitions, subtle blends and artistic freedom.

With richly pigmented, fully water-soluble leads, these pencils deliver luminous intensity and exceptional lightfastness (an overview of the lightfastness of each individual colour can be found here) – ideal for fluid washes, vibrant blends and delicate detailing. The soft, velvety laydown ensures effortless transitions without residue, unlocking endless possibilities for dynamic layering and nuanced colour effects.

Each pencil features a 3.6 mm lead with high break-resistance thanks to STAEDTLER’s super-bonded lead formulation –ensuring durability without compromising on softness or colour brilliance. Available in 120 harmonised shades, it offers artistic freedom across dry and wet techniques – from subtle gradients to bold, emotive compositions.
