Colouring just got even more exciting with our brand new Watercolour Pencils! This set of 72 beautiful shades make experimenting with colour washes and blending easy and so much fun!

For a magical colour transformation…just add water!

Unlike our regular (and equally wonderful) coloured pencils, these beautiful watercolour pencils have been developed with a unique water-soluble binder which means that when you add a touch of water the rich, luxurious pigment will disperse creating a magical watercolour effect right before your eyes!

These genuinely versatile pencils are the perfect addition to any artists range of supplies…they will work beautifully with our ‘Soft Series’ coloured pencils, adding a new dimension in colouring books and traditional sketches. To add a deep, intense effect on the paper simply dip the pencil tip in a little water – et voila; your artwork has been elevated to a new level.

Become a watercolour painter…with pencils and minimal fuss!

If you love the look and feel of watercolour paintings you can instantly enjoy creating these using a product that you know and trust – the pencil! Simply sketch and colour your drawing as you would with regular pencils then use a brush to apply water to your work. Watch as feint lines disappear and the pigment you have laid down blends to create a visual masterpiece.

So many ways to use these wonderful pencils…

Watercolour artists can use these pencils to add fine detail to their paintings or you can use the pencils as an ‘on the go’ set of paints by lifting pigment directly from the tip with a wet brush.!
