All the magic of watercolour in pencil form

These are more than just ordinary pencils! Crafted in Switzerland, our Museum Aquarelle watercolour pencils provide exceptional quality. The soft and smooth lead is water-soluble and durable, allowing for clean, precise lines to enhance watercolour creations, arguably rivalling traditional brush techniques.
Our colourful pencils are also lightfast and easy to use. Their FSC™-certified premium cedar wood body, hexagonal shape, and matte finish ensure an impeccable grip.
