FABER-CASTELL Colour GRIP Watercolour Pencils Neon (5 Pack)

With a 3.3 mm water-soluble lead, these pencils deliver intense neon colour that dissolves into brilliant watercolour washes. The patented Soft-GRIP dot zone ensures a secure, comfortable hold for all ages.

Overview

The Faber-Castell Colour GRIP Watercolour Pencils in Neon assortment bring together ergonomic design and versatile water-soluble pigments. Each pencil features an ergonomic triangular barrel with a patented Soft-GRIP dot texture, reducing hand fatigue during extended drawing sessions. The 3.3 mm lead is highly pigmented and water-soluble, allowing artists to use them dry for bold lines or add water for luminous watercolour effects. The neon colour range—vivid pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue—pops on both light and dark papers. Ideal for students, hobbyists, and professional illustrators seeking a portable, mess-free watercolour solution.
