Watercolor Pencil Set Strigo 12 colors — Strigo model 355960

Watercolor Pencil Set Strigo 12 colors — model 355960 combines the precision of colored pencils with water-soluble pigments to produce blended washes and detailed dry sketches. The set includes twelve assorted hues formulated for smooth laydown and predictable activation with water, allowing transitions from crisp pencil lines to soft watercolor effects. Compact and lightweight, the set is intended for sketching, illustration and mixed-media techniques where control and versatility are required.

Advantages

The pencils provide dual functionality: they perform as standard colored pencils for fine details and, when moistened, transform into watercolor washes that can be blended and layered. Pigment formulation delivers consistent color intensity and good solubility for even washes. The set’s compact range of twelve colors covers essential tones for general sketching and quick color studies while remaining portable for field work and classroom use.

How to use

Begin by drawing dry lines, shading or hatching with the pencils to establish form and detail. To create washes or blend colors, apply a wet brush to the pencil marks and work the pigment outward; use varying brush moisture to control intensity and edge softness. Layer dry and wet applications as needed, allowing brief drying between layers to avoid overworking the paper. Test techniques on scrap paper to determine the amount of water needed for desired transparency.

Usage recommendations

Use medium-weight watercolor paper (recommended 200 g/m² or higher) for best wash performance and to prevent buckling. Store pencils capped or in a case to protect points, and sharpen with a quality sharpener to maintain fine detail capability. Clean brushes promptly after use to avoid pigment buildup.
