STAEDTLER 146 10C Watercolour Pencil Set, 18 Pieces, 12 Colours, 3 Watercolour Graphite Pencils, Water Brush, Sharpener

The STAEDTLER 146 10C watercolour pencil set (61 14610C) contains 18 pieces — 12 watercolour pencils, 3 watercolour graphite pencils, a water brush, an eraser and a metal sharpener — for sketching beginners, students and urban sketchers who want to draw first and add watercolour effects afterwards.

The 146 10C pencils have a classic hexagonal shape and a water-soluble lead: use them dry for bright colour, or go over the strokes with the water brush to turn them into washes on watercolour paper. The three graphite pencils do the same in grey tones for tonal sketches and shading.

• 12 × STAEDTLER 146 10C watercolour pencils, assorted colours
• 3 × watercolour graphite pencils, assorted degrees
• 1 × water brush
• 1 × eraser
• 1 × metal sharpener

• Draw the sketch with a watercolour graphite pencil, add colour dry, then activate selected areas with the water brush — no palette or water cup needed.
• Used dry, the pencils behave like normal coloured pencils, so the set also works for everyday colouring.
• The water brush holds water in its barrel, which makes the set practical for sketching outdoors or while travelling.
• The metal sharpener in the box keeps the leads pointed; STAEDTLER also recommends its 510 25 or 512 002 sharpeners.

• A full 48-colour range — the 146 10C line has 48 shades, but this set contains 12.
• Permanent, water-resistant results — the leads are water-soluble by design.
• Thin printer paper for wet techniques.
