Cretacolor Aqua Monolith Woodless Watercolour Pencil – Light Grey 232

Aqua Monolith pencils are woodless watercolour pencils: each one is a solid stick of water-soluble colour with a thin protective lacquer coating. With no wood to sharpen away, you get far more colour per pencil, and you can use the point for fine detail or tilt it to cover large areas quickly with the side.

Use them dry for rich, layered colour, then work over the marks with a wet brush to dissolve them into transparent washes. You can also draw on to damp paper for intense, softened lines, or lift colour directly from the tip with a brush and use it like a pan of watercolour.

Choose open stock colours by name and number to complete or refill a set. The range includes the light-on-dark Permanent White and a Graphite Aquarelle for monochrome work. A few colours have been discontinued by Cretacolor and are available only while stocks last.
