Albrecht Durer pencils contain the highest quality pigments for unsurpassed lightfastness. Colour lay-down is buttery smooth, and blending is effortless when wet. Colour effects become permanent when dry.

Pencils are manufactured with extra-thick 3.8 mm leads that are break-resistant and fully water soluble. These leads provide sharp, fine lines and superior point retention.

Leads are housed in barrels of premium California cedar wood with SV (secure-all) bonding to strengthen the lead and help prevent breakage. Pencils are pre-sharpened.

Albrecht Durer Watercolour Pencils are available in 120 brilliant colours that are part of a unique colour matching system that encompasses all Faber-Castell art and graphic products. Match the colour index numbers of any two Faber-Castell products for colour compatibility. Use them with other Faber-Castell pencils and drawing products in mixed media projects.
