Faber-Castell Watercolour Pencils 48 Shades

48 artist-quality watercolour pencils that draw like a pencil and blend like paint.

• 48 shades of water-soluble colour for both dry sketching and wet-brush blending
• Full-length pencils from Faber-Castell's Design range
• Colour dry for crisp lines and details, then brush over with water for a soft watercolour wash
• Layer and blend shades directly on paper for smooth colour transitions
• Suitable for art students, illustrators and anyone starting out with watercolour techniques

These pencils give you the control of coloured pencil work with the option to soften everything into a wash whenever you want. Sketch a scene dry first, then go over sections with a damp brush to pull the pigment into smooth gradients, a technique that works well for landscapes, botanical studies and quick colour studies alike.

With 48 shades in the set, there is enough range for most projects without needing to mix constantly, making this a practical pick for students building their first serious art kit.
