How to use

Use the pencils dry for fine lines, hatching and detailed colouring. To produce watercolour effects, apply pencil colour to paper and then brush over the area with a wet brush to dissolve the pigment and create a wash. Build up layers by allowing washes to dry before applying additional pencil strokes or water. Suitable papers are medium to heavy-weight and designed for watercolour or mixed media to prevent buckling and to retain pigment intensity.

Recommendations

For best results, use a round water brush or synthetic round brush and watercolour-compatible paper (minimum 200 g/m²). Store pencils horizontally in their cardboard box to protect the cores and avoid excessive pressure when sharpening to reduce breakage.
