Prismacolor Watercolour Pencil Tin Of 36

Get the best of both worlds with Prismacolor Watercolour Pencils, the control of a coloured pencil with the magic of watercolour. These versatile water-soluble pencils let you draw, blend, layer and then add water to transform your marks into beautiful, fluid washes.

Whether you're sketching on the go, adding colour to illustrations or experimenting with watercolour techniques, Prismacolor Watercolour Pencils make it ridiculously easy to get creative. Draw dry for crisp, detailed colour, or activate your pencil marks with a wet brush for a softer, painterly effect. Fancy a bit of both? Even better!

Available in 12, 24 and 36 colour tins, there's a set to suit every artist, from curious beginners to seasoned creatives who like having plenty of colour at their fingertips.

For artists who like options -and lots of them, the 36-colour Prismacolor Watercolour Pencil Set brings an even bigger playground of colour to your desk.

The expanded palette gives you plenty of room to experiment with colour mixing, subtle transitions, vibrant details and atmospheric washes. Use the pencils dry for precision or add water to unlock their full watercolour potential. It's a great choice for illustrators, sketchers and creative types who don't believe in having "too many colours".

How to Use Prismacolor Watercolour Pencils

Using watercolour pencils is wonderfully simple.

Start by drawing directly onto your watercolour paper with the pencils. You can build up colour, blend different shades together or add fine details just as you would with a traditional coloured pencil.

Then comes the fun part: add water!

Use a damp watercolour brush to gently activate the pencil marks and watch the colour transform into a fluid watercolour effect. Experiment with how much water you use — a lightly damp brush will give you more control, while more water will create softer, more flowing washes.

You can also try applying the pencil directly onto wet paper, picking up pigment with a wet brush or combining dry pencil details with watercolour washes.

Basically, there are lots of ways to play, so don't be afraid to experiment!
