Our selection of 36 brilliant colors are made with water-soluble pigments. Draw with them like any colored pencil, then dissolve the color with a wet brush to create a translucent watercolor wash. Ideal for art classes, and creative projects, kids of all ages will want this set for their Back-to-School supplies!! Watercolor Pencils are more sustainable and safer for the environment! Unlike markers, whose usefulness is short term because they dry up and run out of ink, yet all that discarded plastic has a long-term impact on the environment. Consider replacing your plastic markers and gel pens with this natural & environmentally-friendly alternative. Includes a pencil sharpener and paintbrush in a handy canvas wrap.
