The Caran d'Ache Swisscolor water-resistant colouring pencils are designed for artists, students, and hobbyists who demand professional-grade pigmentation in their sketching and illustration work. These pencils provide high coverage and smooth application, making them excellent for detailed mixed media projects; however, artists requiring fully water-soluble effects should note that this specific range is water-resistant, meaning colors will not dissolve or blend when exposed to water.

No, the Swisscolor line mentioned here is water-resistant. The pigments will not move or blend when water is applied.

Yes, they feature professional-grade pigmentation and lightfastness suitable for illustration and professional sketching.
This set includes 12 pencils.
A standard high-quality metal or plastic sharpener for art pencils will work well.
Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp and avoid over-sharpening; a medium-length point is safer than an extremely long, thin one.
These pencils are water-resistant. If blending is required, use a paper blending stump or a colorless blender pencil instead of water.
Gently buff the surface with a soft, clean dry cloth to remove any excess wax buildup.
To ensure the longevity of your pencils, use a high-quality manual or electric sharpener designed for colored pencils to maintain the 2.8 mm lead integrity. For optimal results, use toothy or textured drawing paper to better grab the pigments. When storing the pencils, keep them in their original cardboard box or a dedicated pencil roll to prevent the leads from sustaining shock damage. Avoid dropping the pencils on hard surfaces, as this can cause internal lead fracturing even if the wood casing appears undamaged.
