About this material
Albrecht Dürer is a line of watercolor pencils from Faber-Castell. They use high-quality pigments with good lightfastness, and the bright colors go on softly. The core is 3.8 mm thick and is bonded to the wood barrel, which makes it harder to break.
The range has 120 colors. Tins hold 12, 24, 36, 60, or 120 colors, and there are also wooden box sets. Single pencils are sold as well.
Used dry, they work like regular colored pencils. If you go over the color with a wet brush, it dissolves and gives a watercolor look. How well the color dissolves depends on the paper.
