Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle Sets contain a selection of the finest watercolour pencils for artists and creative professionals. The high concentration of extra fine pigments with excellent water-solubility rivals even the best artist watercolours, let alone watercolour pencils. When drawn on dry, the pencils perform as well as the very best non-watersoluble colours, such as Luminance, which is surprising as sometimes watercolour pencils do not appear with as much colour brilliance as their non-watersoluble counterparts.
When a wet brush is dragged across the pencil marks, the colour that disperses in watery pools is lustrous and brilliant. Lesser pencils demonstrate a much lower concentration of colour in washes. Use alongside watercolour to apply very fine detail to your work, or use alone with the freedom to apply very dilute colour as well as very thick bold undiluted marks, all with the same pencil.
