Getting the Most Out of Your Graphite Watercolours

Start with your lightest wash and build darker layers once each one is dry. Leave the white of the paper for your lightest lights.

For crisp details like branches and fence posts, wait until the paper is completely dry and use the tip of the brush with a little more pigment.

Add some watercolour paper and watercolour brushes, browse all watercolour paint sets, or go big with the Reeves 260 Year Vintage Watercolour Tin of 160.

Questions About the Reeves Watercolour Graphite Pan Set 13pc

What is graphite watercolour?

Graphite watercolour is a watercolour paint made in graphite style tones. It gives soft, smoky greys and tinted darks that move like watercolour, so it is perfect for atmospheric, mostly tonal paintings.

What is in the Reeves Watercolour Graphite Pan Set 13pc?

A 13 piece set of Reeves graphite toned watercolour half pans with a brush, in a pocket sized palette case.

What paper should I use with watercolour?

Use a proper watercolour paper of 300gsm or heavier. It holds water without buckling, so your colours stay bright and your washes stay smooth. Thin copy or cartridge paper will cockle and pill as soon as it gets wet.

How do I keep watercolour pans clean?

Rinse your brush before moving to a new colour and dab off excess water on a paper towel. If a pan gets muddy, wipe the surface with a damp brush or tissue and the clean colour is right underneath. Leave the lid open for a few minutes after painting so the pans dry before you close it.

Is Reeves a good brand?

Reeves has made art materials since 1766 and is one of the most trusted names for students, hobby painters and anyone starting out. It is designed to be affordable and easy to use, so you can paint freely without worrying about wasting expensive materials.

Is this a good Christmas gift?

Yes. It is ready to use straight out of the box, it looks beautiful wrapped, and it suits everyone from a teen discovering painting to a grandparent picking up a new hobby.
