Caran d'Ache has never been shy about its obsession with colour. After meticulous work with hundreds of pigments, we have developed recipes for over 400 colours, from coloured pencils to pastels to gouaches. One of the products we are most proud to produce from our workshop in Geneva is the Supracolor™ Aquarelle collection of watercolour pencils. This rainbow of 120 colours will please any artist, amateur or professional.
Discover Supracolor™ Aquarelle in the pencil sets, art kits, Creative Boxes and online courses described below.

Colour-rich art with watercolour pencils

Watercolour pencils produce striking large-scale drawings, landscapes, still lifes and portraits.
Available in sets of 12, 18, 30, 60, 80 and 120 colours, the Supracolor™ Aquarelle pencils are incredibly versatile and ideal for mixed media, including watercolour, washes, illustration, colouring and layering. For exceptional artistic results, Supracolor™ watercolour pencils can be combined with Pablo™ permanent pencils, Neocolor™ pastels and gouache paint.
Looking for a gift for someone who enjoys being creative? The 80-colour set has excellent variety and comes in a beautiful box made from birch and beech wood.

Swiss Made excellence

Normally pencil drawings can simply be washed out and blurred with a finger. But Supracolor™ Aquarelle pencils are extremely durable because of their excellent lightfastness, opacity and pigment quality. They have soft leads with a large 3.8-mm diameter.
The body of each pencil is coated in a paint that matches the colour of the lead and then is fully varnished. Because of their soft, rich pigments that can be worked dry or in watercolour, these pencils are a favourite among professional and amateur artists, illustrators, graphic designers and teachers.

Colouring sets and online courses
