Lyra Rembrandt Graphite Aquarelle pencils combine the precision of graphite with water-soluble properties for expressive, painterly effects. When dry, they behave like rich, smooth graphite pencils ideal for detailed drawing and shading; when activated with water, they dissolve to create soft washes and tonal gradients similar to watercolour. With high-quality, break-resistant leads and excellent control, these pencils are perfect for sketching, mixed media, and expressive landscape or portrait work. Great for artists who want the versatility to draw and paint with one tool.
