What Sets the A. Dürer Aquarell Pencils Apart

Faber-Castell's A. Dürer line bridges the gap between dry drawing and watercolor painting — each pencil core is formulated to dissolve evenly when contacted with water, allowing artists to build transparent washes, blend colors seamlessly, and achieve effects that range from fine linear detail to broad atmospheric coverage. The wood case protects the pencils from damage and keeps them organized for studio, classroom, or field use.

Ideal for...

Professional illustrators, fine artists, art students, and hobbyists who require a versatile, water-activated coloring medium. The set serves as a standalone palette or a complement to existing watercolor and drawing supplies in any creative workspace.

Application of Faber-Castell A. Dürer Aquarell Pencils

1. Use dry on paper for precise linework and layered color application
2. Activate with a damp brush, sponge, or water pen to transform dry marks into watercolor washes
3. Layer and blend colors on the palette surface or directly on paper before or after water activation
4. Store pencils horizontally in the wood case to maintain tip integrity and prevent breakage
