Albrecht Dürer 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 Dürer 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.
