Combine watercolor pencil precision with permanent ink details in one set

Faber-Castell pairs watercolor pencils with India ink pens in these sets, combining two fundamentally different drawing approaches. Albrecht Dürer pencils lay down soft, vibrant color that activates with water, transforming dry marks into flowing washes while maintaining the precision of your original pencil work. The 3.8mm water-soluble leads contain acid-free pigments that dissolve completely, letting you build atmospheric backgrounds or blend detailed passages without sacrificing control.

Pitt Artist Pens deliver the opposite behavior: permanent pigmented India ink that resists water once dry. Waterproof, pH-neutral lines hold crisp against subsequent washes, ideal for establishing structure before adding watercolor or defining edges after color application. The ink won't bleed through paper or fade over time.

This combination opens specific technical possibilities. Sketch foundations with the pens, then layer watercolor pencil over them. Or reverse it: establish loose watercolor areas, then add precise ink details. Work wet-into-wet with the pencils while the permanent ink holds its ground. Artists working in mixed media, travel sketching, or botanical illustration appreciate having both permanent and soluble marks available without switching between separate collections.
