Albrecht Durer Watercolour Pencils are made with 250 years of experience using high quality materials which means artists get a pencil with vibrancy and unsurpassed watercolour effects.  On some surfaces colour can be completely dissolved to behave exactly like classic watercolour paint.  Pigments used are of the highest quality resulting in unsurpassed lightfastness,  and are acid free.  Lead is 3.8mm thick and is fully water soluble.  Pencils are made using a secural bonding process (SV) giving them a high resistance to breaking
