Holbein Watercolour Pencil WP026 Shell Pink

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

The new Holbein HWCP Watercolor Pencils offer a seamless introduction to watercolour painting with the control and familiarity of a pencil. Designed to pair perfectly with Holbein Artists’ Watercolours (HWC), each pencil is colour-matched by reference number—enabling easy colour identification and integration across mediums.

Key Features:

• Watercolour-Ready Performance
  Apply dry and activate with water to create transparent washes and soft blends. Ideal for sketching, layering, and controlled watercolour work.

• Colour-Matched to HWC Range
  Features the same colour reference numbers as Holbein’s Artists’ Watercolours, simplifying mixed-media use and colour consistency across techniques.

• High-Pigment Core & Smooth Feel
  3.8mm pigment-rich core delivers smooth, consistent colour laydown with excellent solubility and lightfastness.

• Ergonomic & Durable Design
  Crafted with a 7.9mm hexagonal barrel for comfort and reduced fatigue. Moderate hardness provides excellent control for both broad areas and detailed linework.

• Made in Japan to Professional Standards
  Manufactured using forest-certified incense cedar and AP-certified non-toxic pigments, ensuring professional quality with environmental consideration.
