The first-ever colour pencil to have a watercolour lead, the Prismalo™ Aquarelle pencil was game-changing when launched in 1931 and remains so. Certified 100% Swiss-made, Caran d'Ache's signature watercolour pencil has quickly become one of our most iconic pencils, revolutionising watercolour drawing and illustration techniques for all artists—professional and amateur alike!
Renowned for their intense colours, cedar-wood scent, and comfortable grip, our Prismalo™ Aquarelle watercolour pencils are equally beloved for the quality of their lightfast lead. Thanks to this richly pigmented, fine lead, sharp, precise lines can be transformed into a luminous watercolour with just a small drop of water.
