About this material
Faber-Castell Graphite Aquarelle pencils are graphite pencils that dissolve in water. After drawing, go over the lines with a wet brush to blend them. The lead is 3.3mm thick and made to resist breaking.
The pencils come in five grades: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, and 8B. There is a tin set with all five grades, and another set that comes with a watercolor brush.
You can use them to sketch under a watercolor painting, to make watercolor-style drawings with the pencils alone, or together with other art materials.
