Over the past year, I have been exploring the colours in the full set of Faber Castell watercolour pencils. I have written about other colour ranges previously and have put links below. There are so many reds, too many reds and each a little different.

The watercolor pencils that I use in my everyday sketch kit are:

• Orange Glaze
• Alizirian Crimson
• Dark Red
• Burnt Carmine
• Caput Mortuum

I hope this provides an insight into the colours. It is important to note how the colour can change when water is added. Being aware of this factor is key to knowing which colour to choose and take out of your sketchkit quickly.

Let me know if you have any questions and share your watercolour pencil experiences.

Happy sketching. Stay safe and creative.
