About this material
Faber-Castell Colour Grip is a colored pencil with a triangular barrel. Rows of small dots on the grip area keep your fingers from slipping. In Japan it is sold as a watercolor pencil. Go over the color with a wet brush and it dissolves, giving a look like watercolor paint.
The official Japanese online shop carries tins of 12, 24, and 36 colors. It also has a 48-color accessory set with a pencil, a brush, and a sharpener.
The color washes out of clothes in the laundry.
