HOLBEIN | HWCP ARTISTS' WATERCOLOR PENCIL — sets

The colours and colour numbers of HOLBEIN’s HWCP ARTISTS’ WATERCOLOR PENCILS correspond to those of their HWC ARTISTS’ WATERCOLOR paints — making them perfect for combining!

The texture of this watercolour pencil is somewhere between soft and medium-hard. Hard enough to draw comfortably with, yet soft enough to offer excellent water solubility, allowing you to wet, blend and wash the colours beautifully with a brush or a water brush. Of course, you can also use this pencil dry, without washing it out — for example, in combination with HOLBEIN’s ARTISTS’ COLORED PENCIL.

TIP! Want to create special effects? Try working with a dry pencil on paper that you’ve first moistened with a little water. Or dip the tip of your pencil in water first and then work on dry paper.
