Faber-Castell's Goldfaber watercolour pencils in a range of pastel colours feature highly-pigmented 3.3mm water-soluble lead supplying soft but intense colour laydown. Use dry or with water and a paintbrush - avoid dipping the tip into water. Impressive lightfastness. Hexagonal barrel made from wood from sustainably-managed forests and protected with water-based, eco-friendly varnish. Break-resistant lead, thanks to Faber-Castell's SV bonding process.
