How to use

Select colours according to your composition and apply with light to medium pressure for smooth coverage and easier blending. For layered colour effects, build tones gradually and blend transitions with light strokes or a blending tool. To create wash effects, use the included water brush with the watercolour pencils: apply the watercolour pencil pigment to paper and activate with the water brush to obtain a soft wash. Use the sharpener to maintain a fine tip and the eraser to correct small areas.

Usage recommendations

Use heavier-weight, slightly textured paper when applying both dry and light wet techniques to reduce buckling. Allow water-activated areas to dry fully before adding further dry layers. Store pencils horizontally to help preserve lead integrity and keep the metal sharpener clean for optimal sharpening.
