These pencils work dry for precise, controlled line work, or wet for soft, flowing washes once a brush and water are introduced, making them equally useful for quick sketching and full watercolour painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leads are fully water-soluble and heavily pigmented, so colour stays vivid whether it's applied straight to the page or activated with water. Each pencil has a 3.6 mm lead made with STAEDTLER's super-bonded formulation, which holds up well under sharpening and everyday use without losing its softness or colour strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight-fastness is tested against the \u003cem\u003eBlue Wool Scale\u003c\/em\u003e and printed directly on each pencil, so you can see at a glance how a shade will hold up over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 12-pencil tin is drawn from STAEDTLER's full range of 120 harmonised shades, which are organised using a numbering system based on the CIE-Lab colour space. Each digit in a pencil's number corresponds to a colour family, so once you understand the system, working out how shades relate to one another becomes straightforward. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 watercolour pencils in assorted colours, in a metal tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully water-soluble leads for dry sketching or wet watercolour washes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly pigmented with a high level of light-fastness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, smooth lay down suited to layering and blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.6 mm lead with good break-resistance during sharpening and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel made from wood sourced from PEFC-certified, sustainably managed forests\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well combined with watercolour paint, ink, graphite and other mixed-media tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs well with STAEDTLER's Mars Lumograph graphite pencils, Pigment Liners and Pigment Arts Pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest suited to watercolour paper, cold press or hot press, though it also performs well on toned paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePigment can be lifted directly from a damp pencil tip with a brush, similar to using a watercolour pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a dry place away from moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended sharpener: STAEDTLER Mars double-hole sharpener 510 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA good choice for anyone who sketches on the go and wants the option to turn a drawing into a painted piece without changing tools, as well as for watercolour artists who like the control of a pencil format for detail work and underdrawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/1_ffd0fe4a-9502-4356-8855-86c298ab0257_160x160.png?v=1790297014\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"STAEDTLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999945416839,"sku":"104M12","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/STAEDTLER_Mars_Lumograph_Aquarell_Watercolour_Pencils__Set_of_12_page1.png?v=1790910418","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/staedtler-mars-lumograph-aquarell-watercolour-pencils-set-of-12","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
