• Vibrancy: Even when dampened with water, the colors do not lose their saturation, remaining vivid and deep.

3. Durability and Ergonomics

The pencils are built for long-term use. The standard 7 mm diameter ensures they fit any standard sharpener, while the 175 mm length guarantees a long service life.

• Strong Core: Although the core is soft for drawing, it is sufficiently break-resistant during sharpening or when applying pressure.
• Universal Design: Suitable for children's hands as well as adult creators.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do these pencils require special paper?

While they work on any paper, you will achieve the best watercolor effect using thicker, watercolor-specific paper that won't warp when wet.

Can you draw directly on wet paper?

Yes, drawing on a damp surface produces extremely bright, intense lines that blend softly immediately upon contact.
