These pencils are listed as vegan however Caran d’Ache don’t list any specific pigment information. No colours use PBk9 pigment. You’ll find this chart helpful as you can find a coloured pencil’s details without having to physically search through your pencils, or your physical colour chart. It will be a great time saver for you. Museum Interactive Colour Chart A line drawing could be lightly washed over, leaving the original drawing softened and tinted, which I thought was a lovely effect. If the pencil was first dipped in water, it made more opaque marks on the paper that released less pigment when washed over after drying.

Conclusion 

For the purposes of this review, I’m also including the Pallette Aquarelle also by Caran D’Ache. This product is a perfect pairing because it’s specially designed with a textured side that works well for applying dry pencil and adding water with a paintbrush to liquify it. I’ll be giving my thoughts on this product as well at the end of the review. A range that materialises artistic innovation: the innovative Museum Aquarelle range allows artists to explore in new ways watercolor in pencil form. If you’ve made your own charts – that’s great. But – as is practical, you might also have your charts in one physical place while you draw in another. You need to have access to the colours where you are – hopefully you’ll be there with internet access and your mobile device. Multi-technique uses: the Museum Aquarelle range is adapted to both watercolor painting and artistic drawing. To enhance this effect, once it was dry I scribbled over the wash with the white pencil and then smeared it with a damp finger, resulting in an irregular misty scumbling.

I have long been a diehard fan of the Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Pencils but these pencils have intrigued me for a long time. Could these pencils possibly dethrone my long time favourites? Read on… Watercolour Pencils offer more versatility than a standard colouring pencil, but they do have a slightly steeper learning curve. With a single watercolour pencil you’ll essentially have two colouring tools in one and you’ll be able to make a whole variety of different marks. Use watercolour pencils dry and you probably won’t be able to tell them apart from a standard colouring pencil. Their texture may feel a little drier, and they may not layer quite as effectively – but overall they’re very similar. There’s nothing stopping you from using your watercolour pencils dry and never activating them with water. However, be careful not to splash your drawing or the colour will run and you could ruin it. Wanting to see how they work as pure watercolour on a brush, I made a ‘palette’ by scribbling a heavily applied square of each colour on to a piece of rough plastic, and touching them with a wet brush. It was just like using a set of watercolour pans.

Caran d’Ache have aimed this product at the professional user, and the reasoning behind that isn’t mere marketing hype. For Frank the Suffolk punch and his handler Pete I made a palette as described, and applied a couple of layers of colour with a brush.
