Kite watercolor pencils – an interweaving of techniques and desires
Versatility, unusualness, softness and sophistication - these are the characteristics of Kite watercolor pencils. Popular tools among artists who combine the features of pencils and paints to create masterpieces of a new era. They work in tandem with water, which hides all strokes and gives the effect of watercolor paints.
What are watercolor pencils?
Watercolor pencils are a combination of the precision of graphite with the tenderness of watercolor. They are soft and always have a bright palette of colors. They can be used in three techniques: dry (like regular pencils), wet (with the addition of water) and combined (the pigment of the pencil is applied to the brush). The finished drawing can be qualitatively corrected with the help of this tool. They are convenient to transport, inspire when traveling and help create unsurpassed shades and tones.
Composition and features of Kite watercolor pencils
Kite watercolor pencils do not contain harmful substances and have passed hygiene tests. They combine the properties of both colored pencils and watercolor paints. They contain high-quality pigments that dissolve well in water, providing bright and saturated colors. The pencil lead is 3 mm thick, does not crumble and draws smoothly. The hexagonal body is made of natural wood, which is easy to sharpen. It is coated with water-based varnish for durability and prevention of drying out. Only safe materials are used in the composition.
Children's watercolor pencils are presented in the Kite Classic series. The covers of the series are individual unfinished paintings, striking in bright colors and made in the technique of these tools. They contain a QR code that will take owners to the world of exciting master classes from Kite. The sets consist of 12, 24 or 36 colors, and the set also includes a brush. The packaging has a matte surface that is pleasant to the touch.
Colored watercolor pencils can be used to create sketches and outlines that can then be blurred with water for soft watercolor effects. They are also suitable for adding interesting details to watercolor drawings. They combine well with other art materials such as: ink, watercolor paints, colored pencils and even pastels.
The difference between regular and watercolor colored pencils
Watercolor pencils look very similar to regular pencils. However, behind their inconspicuous "appearance" lies a host of secrets and differences:
- Water-soluble : after applying to paper, they can be blended with a wet brush to create a watercolor effect.
- Several application techniques : draw with dry pencils and then blur with water, or dip the pencil tip into water immediately to create intense lines.
- Special markings : the packaging has a special symbol – a drop of water, a brush or the inscription Watercolor. The price of watercolor pencils is relatively higher than regular ones.
- Control and precision : The standard shape helps watercolor pencils produce details and lines much better than traditional watercolor paints.
- Color mixing : You can easily combine different colors both dry and after adding water, playing with shades and gradients.
