Water-Soluble Oil-Based Color Pencil Drawing Set – 36, 48 or 72 Colours in Tin Box for Wet and Dry Artwork

This colour pencil set combines oil-based richness with water-solubility, giving you the freedom to sketch, shade, and blend without needing separate supplies. The B hardness lead is ideal for filling large areas and for detailed line work, making the set suitable for both beginners and experienced colourists. Each pencil is housed in a durable tin box that keeps them organised and protected during storage or travel. Choose from 36, 48, or 72 colour counts in either oily or water-soluble variants to match your preferred medium.

Features and Construction

Every pencil in this set is built with a B hardness refill and an oil-based pigment core that can also be used with water. The tin box provides secure storage for all pencils.

Material and Build

The pencils have a wood casing with a B hardness refill that offers a good balance between soft laydown and point retention. The pigment is oil-based, giving rich, opaque colour on most surfaces. The water-soluble variant allows you to activate the colour with a damp brush for watercolour-style washes.

Size and Practical Fit

Standard pencil dimensions (not specified in source) fit comfortably in most hands and sharpeners. The tin box is compact enough for a desk drawer or a travel bag. The number of pencils ranges from 36 to 72, depending on the option selected.

Uses and Placement

This set is designed for creative filling, colouring, and sketching. Its dual nature – oil-based and water-soluble – expands the range of techniques you can use.

Event or Professional Use

Art teachers and workshop leaders will appreciate the consistent B hardness and the ability to demonstrate both dry and wet techniques from one set. The tin box makes distribution and collection straightforward.

Everyday Home Use

For home colouring enthusiasts, the water-soluble feature allows easy blending and wash effects without extra art supplies. The oil-based core also works well for adult colouring books and craft projects.

Benefits and Buying Value

This pencil set offers practical advantages for anyone who wants versatility without managing multiple separate products. The tin box adds durability and portability.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The pencils are simple to maintain: sharpen as needed and store in the tin box. The water-soluble version can be reactivated with water even after the colour has dried.

Why Choose This Product

With 36, 48, or 72 colour options in both oily and water-soluble variants, you can select the exact range and medium you need. The B hardness offers good control for both fine detail and broad filling.
