FAQ Section

Q1: What are watersoluble coloured graphite pencils used for?

Watersoluble coloured graphite pencils are used for sketching, shading, and creating watercolor-style effects. You can draw dry like a regular pencil, then add water with a brush to dissolve the pigment and create soft washes and blended transitions. 

Q2: Can beginners use Mont Marte watersoluble graphite pencils?

Yes. These pencils are easy to control and work well for beginners learning shading, blending, and basic watercolor techniques, while still offering enough quality and versatility for experienced artists. 

Q3: Do these pencils work like watercolor pencils?

They work similarly but include graphite for a more natural, sketch-like look. When activated with water, they produce softer, earth-toned washes compared to bright watercolor pencils. 

Q4: What paper works best with these pencils?

Watercolor paper or heavy sketch paper works best. Thicker paper prevents warping and allows the pigment to blend smoothly when water is applied. 

Q5: Are the colors permanent after drying?

Once dry, the pigment becomes more stable, but it can still be reactivated with water for further blending and adjustments. 

Q6: Are these good for landscapes and portraits?

Yes. The earth-tone palette is ideal for landscapes, skin tones, natural textures, and tonal studies where warm, realistic colors are important.
