Faber-Castel Albrecht Dürer Watercolour pencils behave in the same way as classic watercolour paints. Depending on the paper being used, the pigments can be completely dissolved. It is available in 120 colours and is fast becoming one of my favourite pencils.

flowers and stems with 263 Caput Mortuum Violet.
2. Activate the pencil with Tim Holtz Detail Waterbrush filled with water. Tip: fill the

centres of the flowers.
6. Use a pencil and softly write the quote making use of the Stencil-Art Typo Quotes 1
