Transform precise drawings into luminous watercolor paintings instantly
Soft, thick leads lay down intense pigment that transforms completely when water hits the page. Goldfaber Aqua pencils give you genuine control over the wet-to-dry transition, apply color dry for precise details, then activate selectively with a damp brush to create graduated washes and painterly blends. The high pigment load means colors stay vibrant through the water activation rather than washing out pale.
Faber-Castell's SV bonding process secures leads throughout the entire barrel length, not just at contact points. This prevents the frustrating core breaks that plague lesser watercolor pencils when you're sharpening down to access fresh pigment. The thick 3.3mm leads withstand pressure during dry application and maintain their point through detailed work.
These pencils handle traditional watercolor techniques, wet-on-wet, layering, lifting, while offering the precision advantage of pencil control. Build up dry layers for rich color depth, or work wet-into-wet for atmospheric effects. Available in sets ranging from 12 to 48 colors, packaged in recyclable cardboard rather than plastic cases.
