Premium water-soluble pencils designed for artists transitioning into watercolour techniques.

The Holbein HWCP Watercolour Pencil Set of 24 bridges the gap between drawing and painting—offering the precision of a pencil with the expressive flow of watercolour. Each pencil is perfectly colour-matched to Holbein’s renowned Artists’ Watercolour (HWC) range, ensuring effortless colour consistency across mediums.

Key Features

🎨 Watercolour-Ready Performance
Use dry for rich, vibrant marks or activate with water for smooth washes and delicate blends. Ideal for sketching, layering, and controlled watercolour techniques.

🎨 Colour-Matched to Holbein HWC Range
Each pencil directly corresponds to Holbein’s Artists’ Watercolour reference numbers—making it easy to integrate with existing Holbein paints and maintain exact colour harmony.

🎨 High-Pigment Core & Smooth Feel
A dense 3.8 mm pigment core provides creamy colour laydown, dissolves easily with water, and delivers professional coverage with excellent lightfastness.

🎨 Ergonomic & Durable Design
Crafted with a 7.9 mm hexagonal incense cedar barrel for comfort, control, and reduced hand fatigue. The balanced hardness allows for both expressive strokes and precise detail.

🎨 Made in Japan to Professional Standards
Manufactured using forest-certified incense cedar and AP-certified non-toxic pigments—combining Holbein’s craftsmanship with environmental care.
