Pencils meets paint in perfect harmony

This comprehensive studio set opens up a world of artistic possibilities, combining the precision of coloured pencils with the flowing beauty of watercolour painting. The 38 Goldfaber Aqua watercolour pencils feature soft, highly pigmented 3.3mm leads that create vibrant colour whether used dry for traditional pencil techniques or activated with water for stunning watercolour effects.

What makes these pencils truly special is their fully water-soluble nature – a simple brush stroke transforms precise pencil work into flowing washes of colour. The innovative production technology ensures excellent lightfastness, meaning your artwork will retain its brilliance for years to come. Each pencil is crafted with Faber-Castell's patented SV bonding process, gluing the lead along the entire barrel length for superior break resistance and easy sharpening.

The studio box also includes two Goldfaber graphite pencils in HB and 2B grades for initial sketching, plus a size 4 round brush to activate the watercolour magic. Made from FSC-certified sustainable wood and finished with environmentally-friendly water-based varnish, this set represents Faber-Castell's commitment to both artistic excellence and environmental responsibility.

Suitable for children aged 10 years and up
