Watercolor pencils TEKA 24 colors non-wood with MILAN brush, model 607197

TEKA watercolor pencils set in a compact, non-wood construction contains 24 vibrant colors and a MILAN brush. The pencils are formulated for soluble color laydown that activates when water is applied, enabling smooth washes and blended tones. The included brush allows controlled water application for washes, gradients and fine detail work, while the portable pencil format supports sketching, illustration and mixed-media techniques both in the studio and on the go.

Advantages

The non-wood construction provides a lightweight, consistent barrel that resists splitting and ensures an even color core along the length of each pencil. Pigments are designed to dissolve cleanly with water to produce transparent washes or concentrated strokes depending on pressure and dilution. Including a MILAN brush offers a ready tool for activation and blending without requiring separate brushes. The 24-color palette covers a wide range of hues for naturalistic and creative color work.

• Illustration and sketching with watercolor effects
• Mixed-media artworks combining dry and wet techniques
• On-the-go studies, travel sketchbooks and fieldwork

How to use

Apply pigment to paper using the pencils as you would with standard colored pencils. To activate watercolor effects, dampen the MILAN brush and stroke over the applied pencil marks: more water yields transparent washes, while light moisture preserves texture and pencil grain. Layer colors by allowing washes to dry between applications for controlled glazing, or blend directly while wet for smooth gradients. Use heavier pressure for intense strokes and lighter pressure for subtle tints.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use medium to heavyweight watercolor or mixed-media paper to prevent warping and allow multiple washes. Rinse the brush between color changes to avoid unintended mixing. Store pencils horizontally to maintain even wear and keep the brush cap on when not in use to preserve the bristles.
