Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle set with 18 pencils

Swiss Excellence in Watercolor

The Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle set represents the highest standard in artist-quality watercolor pencils. Developed by the Swiss manufacturer Caran d'Ache, this set of 18 carefully selected colors offers exceptional pigmentation, perfect solubility, and museum-quality permanence — hence the name Museum.

Museum Quality

The Museum line is certified for maximum lightfastness , ensuring your artwork remains vibrant and unchanged over time. Each pencil contains highly concentrated pigments, providing intense colors both when applied dry and diluted with water, with smooth transitions and translucent layers characteristic of watercolor techniques.

Artistic Versatility

These premium watercolor pencils allow you to work with multiple techniques: dry drawing for precise details, wet application for watercolor effects, or mixed techniques combining both. The 3.8mm lead is durable and allows for both delicate strokes and broad coverage of larger areas.
