MORE DETAIL

Museum Aquarelle Watercolour Pencils are a premium-tier choice for artists and enthusiasts seeking exceptional quality in their colouring tools. The Museum range is one of the highest quality Caran D'Ache offer and to put it simply, these are some of the very best colouring pencils you can buy. Developed and produced in their Geneva workshop, Caran D'Ache collaborated with master watercolour artists to ensure the most professional performance possible. The result is an intense and powerful level of colour output that's extremely well regarded across the industry.

These pencils are expertly crafted using extra-fine, high-quality pigments that ensure vibrant, long-lasting colours. With a fully water-soluble formula, Aquarelles allow for easy blending and layering, giving artists the freedom to create a wide range of effects and textures. They also feature a durable, break-resistant lead, making them suitable for precise, detailed work. It's important to note that although they enable water-blending, the premium quality of their lead means they function just as wonderfully as conventional colouring pencils. In addition, the pencil body is crafted using premium FSC-certified cedar wood for maximum sustainability.

The set comes in a thick, robust presentation case, with a foam interior containing individual slots for each pencil, keeping them organised and protected at home or on the move. Whether they're a professional artist or a hobbyist, the Museum Aquarelles offer a superior colouring experience with their rich colours, smooth application and exceptional quality.
