Description

Faber-Castell’s PITT Graphite range gives creative artists an extensive choice of pencils and crayons in different grades of hardness, suited to sketching, graphic design, and shading work. The “green pencil from Faber,” which was already mentioned with approval by Van Gogh and Goethe, has long since become part of everyday artistic life.

The Graphite Aquarelle pencil is made to artist quality. Draw with it dry for a classic graphite line, then brush over it with water and the pigment dissolves completely, giving you soft washes and smooth tonal gradations without leaving harsh streaks. The lead is fully bonded to the wood with SV bonding, so it stays extra break-resistant when sharpened or pressed hard, and the environmentally safe water-based coating keeps it a responsible choice for the studio.

Choose from five lead grades, from HB for light, fine work to 8B for deep, rich shading. It is ideal for classic watercolor painting, for drafting sketches ahead of works in acrylic or oil, and for mixed media projects.
