Giorgione Triangular Watercolor Pencils Tin Set with Brush

Giorgione Triangular Watercolor Pencils — Tin Set with Brush

Two tools in one. The Giorgione Triangular Watercolor Pencils give you the precision of a colored pencil and the expressive fluidity of watercolor — in a single stroke. Draw with them dry for crisp, detailed linework, then activate the pigment with the included brush and a touch of water to dissolve the color into soft washes, smooth gradients, and painterly blends. No separate paint set required.

The triangular barrel keeps your grip comfortable and controlled during long sessions, while the sturdy collectible tin box keeps every pencil organized and protected. The included water brush means you're ready to paint the moment you open the tin. Available in 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 120 colors — from a compact travel set to a full professional watercolor palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do watercolor pencils work?

A: Watercolor pencils have a water-soluble pigment core. You can use them dry like regular colored pencils for precise, detailed lines — or apply water with the included brush to dissolve and blend the pigment into smooth watercolor washes. You can also pre-wet the paper or the pencil tip for different effects.

Q: What is the difference between these and the Giorgione oil-based colored pencils?

A: The key difference is water-solubility. The watercolor pencils can be activated with water to create painterly washes and blends — making them a versatile 2-in-1 tool for mixed media and watercolor techniques. The oil-based pencils are not water-soluble and are better suited for layering, burnishing, and detailed dry illustration work.

Q: What kind of brush is included?

A: Each set includes a water brush — a brush with a reservoir handle that holds water, allowing you to paint directly without needing a separate water cup. Simply fill the handle with water and squeeze gently to release moisture onto the brush tip.

Q: Which color count should I choose?

A: 12–24 colors are ideal for beginners, children, and travel sketching; 36–48 colors suit students and hobbyists wanting a broader palette; 72–120 colors are best for serious artists who need nuanced color gradations, subtle skin tones, and a full spectrum for detailed illustration.

Q: What paper works best with watercolor pencils?

A: For dry use, any smooth drawing paper works well. When activating with water, watercolor paper (90–140 lb / 200–300 gsm) is strongly recommended — it absorbs water without warping or tearing, giving you the best blending results. Thinner paper may buckle when wet.

Q: Is the tin box reusable?

A: Yes. The metal tin is built for long-term use and makes an excellent storage and travel case for the pencils. It can also be repurposed for storing other art supplies once the original set is used up.
