Watercolour pencils

What are watercolour pencils?

Watercolour pencils are unique colouring tools that combine the precision of a pencil with the softness of watercolour paint. You can draw with them like normal coloured pencils, but when you add water with a brush, the pigments dissolve into beautiful washes and blends. This makes them perfect for artists and crafters who want control and flexibility in their colouring.

Different types of watercolour pencils

At Vaessen Creative, watercolour pencils are part of the pencils collection. They are available in a wide range of colours, often sold in coordinated sets to allow for easy blending and layering. Some sets also include water brushes, making them even more versatile. Watercolour pencils can be used dry for detailed lines or wet for painterly effects, giving you two creative options in one tool.

Creative hobbies & projects with watercolour pencils

Watercolour pencils are ideal for many hobbies. In card making, they are great for colouring stamped images and then blending them with water for soft, professional-looking effects. In Easter crafting, watercolour pencils can be used to decorate cheerful spring designs such as eggs, flowers, or handmade cards. Another inspiring idea is in summer crafting, where they are perfect for sketching and painting bright motifs like landscapes, fruit, or seaside scenes. With watercolour pencils, you can add both precision and painterly effects to your projects.

Why choose watercolour pencils for your projects?

The main advantage of watercolour pencils is their versatility. They allow you to switch seamlessly between dry colouring and watercolour painting, depending on the effect you want. They are also portable and less messy than traditional paints, making them a great option for on-the-go creativity. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, watercolour pencils offer endless possibilities.
