STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph Colour Aquarell Pencil Tins

The STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph Colour Aquarell Pencil Tin Sets are a premium artist-grade range designed for creatives who value precision, control and versatility across both dry and watercolour techniques. Available in a variety of curated set sizes, this range supports everything from detailed illustration to expressive washes.

Each pencil in the STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph Colour Aquarell Pencil Tin Sets is formulated with highly pigmented, water-soluble cores that deliver rich colour when used dry, and transform effortlessly with water into smooth, vibrant washes. The soft, velvety laydown allows for seamless layering, blending and tonal transitions, making these pencils suitable for both beginners refining technique and professionals producing exhibition-quality work.

Manufactured in Germany, these pencils feature a durable 3.6 mm super-bonded core designed to minimise breakage while maintaining a smooth and consistent application. The finely milled pigments dissolve cleanly in water, producing even washes without graininess. Colours are developed within a structured colour system, allowing for intuitive selection and consistent results across the full spectrum.

With excellent lightfastness ratings, each colour is tested for long-term durability, helping ensure artwork retains its vibrancy over time. The pencils can be sharpened to a fine point for detail work or used more broadly for coverage and shading, offering flexibility across a wide range of creative styles.

The STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph Colour Aquarell Tin Sets are highly versatile and can be used across multiple surfaces and in combination with other media. They perform exceptionally well on watercolour paper, but also work on mixed media paper, toned paper and sketch surfaces. Artists can layer with traditional watercolours, ink, graphite, and pigment liners, making them an ideal addition to any mixed-media toolkit.
