I have been exploring the full range of Faber Castell watercolour pencils.

I am up to the final few pencils in this blogpost. I have tested Payne Gray, Black, Silver, Gold, Copper, Ivory and White. I carry some of these is in the pencil wrap that I carry with me daily and that Ivory, Black, and Paynes Gray. These are frequently used colours.

You might wonder why I would use some of these, especially Ivory and White. Ivory makes a big difference on my Moleskine Watercolour Sketchbook pages. It adds warmth to the white page.

The Gold, Silver and Copper can add a hint of metallic. with highlights on the paper at some angles. However, you can see in the tests below that using the pencils on different coloured papers can make a huge difference.

This paper is an envelope I received in the mail. It is sort of like a thin Kraft paper.

I don’t use coloured papers. If you did want to explore in this direction, there are so many to choose from, and the pencils will look different on each.

Below are links to all of the colour tests in the full Faber Castell Water Colour pencils. Explore and enjoy
