Caran d'Ache MUSEUM Aquarelle 3510 Watercolour Pencils, Set of 40

MUSEUM Aquarelle 3510 – professional watercolour pencil

Watercolour paint in pencil form for the highest demands

The MUSEUM Aquarelle 3510 is no ordinary watercolour pencil: it contains real, highly concentrated watercolour paint in a practical pencil form. Developed in Geneva in collaboration with professional artists, it meets the highest standards for colour intensity, precision and finish.

The particularly soft 3.8 mm lead gives an even, rich application of colour and blends effortlessly. Thanks to its hexagonal shape, the pencil sits securely in the hand and does not roll off the table, a clear advantage in everyday use.

Once activated with water, the applied colour turns completely into brilliant watercolour paint. This lets you create fine details as well as large colour gradients and glazes.

Who is the MUSEUM Aquarelle suitable for?

– For beginners who want clean watercolour effects without tube paints
– For advanced users and artists with high demands on pigmentation and lightfastness
– For sketches, illustrations, urban sketching and classic watercolour painting

Our experience: The pencil is especially popular with customers who work on the move. It combines the control of a coloured pencil with the possibilities of real watercolour paint, without any additional equipment.

Our tip

For particularly intense results, we recommend applying the colour dry first and then activating it selectively with water. This gives you maximum control over colour gradients and contrasts.
