Pentel Vistage Watercolor Sticks are stick-shaped color cores that spread with water. They feel like regular colored pencils when you draw. Go over the colored area with a water brush (a brush that holds water in its handle) to get watercolor effects and soft blends.
The range has 60 colors. There are five 12-color sets, each grouped by color mood: Standard Mix, Sweet Mix, Antique Mix, Cocktail Mix, and Midnight Mix. Single sticks are also sold.
You can also rub a stick with a water brush to pick up color. This lets you use it like a solid watercolor paint. Peel off the label and sharpen the stick to make the tip as thick or thin as you like.
