Faber Castell : Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencil : Alizarin Crimson

Albrecht Durer artists' watercolor pencils provide artists with great versatility of expression when drawing, shading and painting in watercolors. High-quality materials combined with Faber-Castell's experience have resulted in pencils that produce unsurpassed watercolor effects. The colored surface can be transformed with only a few fine or broad brushstrokes to reveal the full and unique power of the colors. Depending on the paper being used, the pigments can be completely dissolved, and will then behave in the same way as classic watercolor paints: The paint becomes permanent when dry, enabling other layers of color to be superimposed without causing it to dissolve again. For this reason, many watercolor artists choose to use the pencils for the fine details in their watercolor paintings, as well as for watercolor sketches while travelling.
