Blend vivid watercolor washes with pencil precision and control
Thick 3.8mm cores hold their point through layered applications, resisting breakage when you press hard for saturated dry color or work wet into wet for flowing washes. These leads contain concentrated pigments that transform under water, dry strokes dissolve into smooth gradients, while maintaining the intensity serious watercolorists demand. Lightfastness ratings printed directly on each barrel eliminate guesswork when planning work meant to last.
The water-soluble binder releases completely, allowing pigments to flow and blend like traditional watercolor. Applied dry, you control exactly where color goes; activate with a wet brush, and those precise marks become painterly washes. Once dry, the color sets permanently, enabling successive layers without muddying previous work. This permanence matters when building complex color through glazing or adding final details over washes.
Faber-Castell's color matching system coordinates these 120 colors across their entire range, pencils, pastels, markers all share the same numbering. Match a watercolor pencil sketch to Pitt pen linework or Polychromos details without mixing brands. Botanical illustrators appreciate the extensive earth tones and subtle greens; portrait artists rely on the nuanced skin tone range. Break-resistant cores survive outdoor sketching and studio work equally well.
