LYRA - Aquacolor Water Soluble Crayons
Blend intense, lightfast colors that activate with water for painting effects
Wax-based pigment sticks that transform with water give you two distinct working methods in one tool. Apply Aquacolor crayons dry for bold, waxy marks with excellent coverage, then activate with a wet brush to create flowing washes and watercolor effects. The high pigment concentration means colors stay vibrant whether you're working wet or dry, no chalky fadeout when you add water.
Smooth application eliminates the scratchy resistance common in student-grade crayons. Colors layer and blend directly on paper, building rich combinations without muddying. Light-resistant pigments maintain color integrity over time, making these suitable for finished work rather than just preliminary studies. The crayon format provides control for detailed work while covering larger areas quickly when needed.
Artists working in mixed media particularly value this versatility: lay down bold crayon marks, dissolve selected areas with water, then draw back into dried washes with more crayon. Sketch artists appreciate having immediate color plus the option to soften and blend without switching tools. The substantial pigment load means you're working with genuine color density, not just tinted wax that disappears under a brush.
