Caran d'Ache Prismalo Watercolour Pencils – Professional-Grade Colour Pencils for Artists and Designers
The Caran d'Ache Prismalo set contains 18 watercolour pencils in a compact metal case, designed for artists, designers, and creative professionals who need reliable, high-performance colouring tools.
Wax-based cores deliver smooth, even colour laydown with excellent blendability for seamless gradients and layered techniques
Water-soluble formula enables instant watercolour effects when activated with a wet brush, expanding creative possibilities from dry drawing to painted washes
Metal carrying case protects the pencils and keeps them organised during transport and storage
3 mm core diameter provides a comfortable line width for both detailed illustration and broad coverage strokes
What Makes the Prismalo Set Stand Out
The Prismalo line combines artist-grade pigment concentration with a carefully balanced wax binder that resists breakage while maintaining a soft, responsive feel on paper. The 18-piece assortment covers a broad spectrum of hues, making it suitable for projects that require a diverse palette without the complexity of a full 24- or 36-piece set.
Ideal for...
Professional illustrators, graphic designers, and art students who need a portable, reliable watercolour pencil set for on-location sketching, studio work, or classroom exercises. The metal case makes it a practical choice for frequent travel or shared workshop environments.
