Faber-Castell - Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencil Sets
Blend vivid pigments into permanent watercolor art with lightfast precision
Thick 3.8mm leads eliminate the constant sharpening cycle that interrupts flow during detailed work. Faber-Castell engineers these watercolor pencils with break-resistant cores that maintain their point through aggressive layering and vigorous application, the kind of pressure that snaps standard colored pencils. Apply dry for precise marks and controlled details, then activate with water to release rich pigment that spreads like traditional watercolor. Once dry, those washes become permanent; you can layer additional dry pencil work over them without muddying previous layers or lifting color.
Pigment quality determines whether your work fades or endures. Each pencil displays its lightfastness rating directly on the barrel, practical information when choosing colors for finished pieces versus quick studies. The 120-color range integrates with Faber-Castell's broader color matching system, ensuring consistency whether you're combining these pencils with Polychromos or Pitt Artist Pens. Water-soluble leads dissolve completely when wet, transforming linear marks into graduated washes without the granular residue that cheaper watercolor pencils leave behind.
Metal tins protect pencils during transport and studio moves. Available as individual pencils for targeted palette building or in assorted sets for those establishing their watercolor pencil collection from scratch.
