Why choose it

High-quality pigments deliver good lightfastness and clean colour laydown. The cedar wood barrel sharpens easily and resists splintering, while the hexagonal shape prevents rolling on sloped desks. A wet brush transforms dry strokes into soft washes without losing the underlying line work.

Ideal use cases

• Sketching and urban drawing with portable watercolour effects
• Illustration, botanical studies, and travel journals
• Classroom art projects where both dry and wet techniques are taught
• Mixed media layering over ink, graphite, or gouache

Good to know

Made in Switzerland. The cardboard box keeps the six pencils organised and protected in a bag or drawer.
