About this deal

Winsor & Newton Studio Collection Watercolour Pencils are available in sets. We hope this article helps you choose the best watercolour pencil!

Caran D’Ache have recently released new coloured pencils – Museum Aquarelle. They come in 76 colours though only the full range is available in singles. Currently, the collections available are 12 Basics, 20 Marine and 20 Landscape. While the majority of my layers were wet and paintbrush applied, I also used the dry form of the pencils to add in finer details and create sharper edges. You don’t have to use the product this was but I like to use a combination of both because I like the way it looks. The pencils sharpened well enough to a point to allow me to add in fine details.Where Museum Aquarelle could be considered Caran d’Ache’s best water soluble pencil for advanced users, Supracolour are fantastic for those with intermediate skill levels. They don’t offer quite the same vibrance and performance as the Museum range, but still deliver the standard of quality you’d expect from the brand. They have a soft texture that makes it easy to apply and blend colour. However, with the softness you do loose a little in point strength. Like Museum, these pencils really come into their own when wet, but they do work well as a dry medium too. They do generate a bit of dust when dry. Each pencil has a colour matched, varnished barrel that includes the colour name and lightfastness. Pigment makes up an average of 30 per cent of the lead weight. Caran d’Ache told me that one single Museum Aquarelle pencil contains more pigment than a half pan watercolour cake. Watercolour Pencils offer more versatility than a standard colouring pencil, but they do have a slightly steeper learning curve. With a single watercolour pencil you’ll essentially have two colouring tools in one and you’ll be able to make a whole variety of different marks. Use watercolour pencils dry and you probably won’t be able to tell them apart from a standard colouring pencil. Their texture may feel a little drier, and they may not layer quite as effectively – but overall they’re very similar. There’s nothing stopping you from using your watercolour pencils dry and never activating them with water. However, be careful not to splash your drawing or the colour will run and you could ruin it. Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Pencils have a generous colour strip and a good weight in the hand. They’re professional grade, with the majority of colours ranked highly for lightfastness, so they’re an ideal choice for any artist keen on displaying their artwork or taking commissions. You can use these pencils dry, however you’ll find that they have a slightly drier texture than a traditional pencil. Their beauty really shines with the addition of water. It’s remarkably easy to lift the pencil marks, leaving you with nothing but vibrant, pure watercolour paint. Their soft texture also means you can easily blend colours and they have excellent coverage. These pencils have a colour matched, varnished barrel that has all the colour information stamped on for easy identification.

Colored pencils for professional artists: the Museum Aquarelle colored pencils are first and foremost adapted to the needs of professional and demanding artists.
