Layer vibrant watercolor washes or blend dry for mixed-media versatility
Soft, pigment-rich cores dissolve completely when you add water, transforming dry pencil strokes into flowing watercolor washes without the granular residue that plagues lesser water-soluble pencils. Marino pencils bridge drawing and painting with unusual flexibility, sketch your composition dry, activate selected areas with a damp brush for atmospheric effects, then return with dry pencil to refine details over dried washes. Lightfast pigments ensure your work maintains color integrity whether displayed or stored, while the generous color range supports nuanced mixing directly on paper.
The thick 3.8mm cores handle aggressive techniques without crumbling. Press hard for intense dry color, layer lightly for subtle tonal work, or dissolve completely for pure watercolor effects. Beyond standard watercolor techniques, these pencils excel at frottage over textured surfaces and respond beautifully to blending stumps for soft transitions. Combine them with graphite, ink, or traditional watercolors, the water-soluble binder integrates seamlessly with other media. Available as open stock or in curated 36-color metal tins that protect pencils during travel and studio work alike.
