Artists Watercolour Pencils use pigments chosen for their smooth, consistent performance and rich vibrant colour.

Artists Pastel Pencils are distinguished by their soft, oil-free stroke and lightfast, soluble pigments. The rich colours can be easily blended or smudged and can be sharpened to a point for fine detail. The pigments are encased in a solid, round wood barrel with a brown-stained, natural finish.

Both Artists Watercolour & Pastels incorporate the same colour codes as Artists Watercolour tubes & half-pans and Artists Pastel sticks. eg. French Ultramarine's code 123 is consistent across all ranges. This means that they work beautifully as mixed media. Plus there are four colours exclusive to the Artists Watercolour Pencil range, and two colours exclusive to the Artists Pastel Pencil range. All colour pencils are end-dipped to make identification even easier.
