Museum Aquarelle Pencil Sets for Professional Watercolor Effects and Artistic Precision

Museum Aquarelle Pencils from Caran d’Ache redefine watercolor art with a pencil that delivers true paint-like results. Developed in collaboration with master watercolorists, these Swiss-made pencils feature a luxurious soft 3.8 mm lead filled with highly concentrated pigments. Whether used dry or activated with water, the color flows smoothly and dissolves completely, offering vibrant transparency and the fluidity of traditional watercolor. Ideal for everything from fine linework to rich washes, these pencils are as versatile as they are powerful.

Each pencil is encased in premium cedar wood with a matte black finish and hexagonal shape for comfort and control. The color-matched capsule and superb sharpening quality make them a joy to work with, whether in the studio or outdoors. Available in beautifully curated sets, Museum Aquarelle pencils are designed for serious artists creating exhibition-worthy work—where every stroke deserves the best.
