Doms Water Colour Pencils Super Soft, 175mm, 12 Shades

Twelve super soft, water-soluble pencils that let you sketch in dry colour, then blend into a watercolour wash with just a wet brush.

• 12 vibrant shades of super soft, water-soluble colour lead
• Pre-sharpened and ready to use straight out of the pack
• Hexagonal barrel that resists rolling off a desk or table
• 175mm length pencils, easy to hold and control
• Rich pigment gives smooth colour laydown and even dispersion
• Works as a standard dry colour pencil or blends into a watercolour wash when brushed with water

Use them like ordinary colour pencils for everyday shading and detailed line work, or go over your drawing with a wet brush to melt the colour into soft, translucent watercolour washes, a good way to add depth and blending without needing a full paint set. The hexagonal barrel keeps the pencils steady on a desk and comfortable to hold during longer drawing sessions, and like any wood-cased colour pencil, each one can be sharpened again for a finer point once the factory tip wears down.

With 12 shades pre-sharpened and ready to go, this set suits students learning to blend colour as well as hobbyist artists who want the flexibility of dry and wet colour techniques in one pencil. It is a simple way to add a watercolour effect to sketchbooks and school projects without the setup of paints, brushes and water pots. Store them in their original pack between uses to keep the tips protected and the shades easy to find when you reach for a colour.
