Watercolour Pens

Water soluble pens combine the precision and convenience of a pen with the expressive qualities of watercolour. Use them dry for clean, controlled lines and details, or activate with water for soft washes, blended gradients, and painterly effects — all from the same pen.

They are a versatile addition to any artist's toolkit, equally at home in a sketchbook, a watercolour journal, or as a tool for adding fine detail to finished artwork. Brands we stock include Winsor & Newton and Faber-Castell, both trusted names in artists' materials.

• Use dry — for precise lines, details, and controlled mark-making
• Use with water — blend with a wet brush for soft washes and watercolour effects
• Blend between colours — touch pen tips together to mix colours directly
• Line variation — brush tip pens allow varying line widths by adjusting pressure and angle
