What a
The Goldfaber Aqua is an ordinary drawing
pencil. Really? Of course, you can use it
simply for drawing – quick sketching, hatching
or even shading on surfaces. But what makes
Goldfaber Aqua so special? The colour is
entirely blendable with water! Get some
brushes and water and see the drawing
transform into a lively and vibrant watercolour
painting.

The last time you tried the sgraffito technique
was probably during your childhood using
wax crayons. But sgraffito is also an inter-
esting way of using coloured pencils.

Granulation
On papers with strong textures, you can use a
very beautiful effect. Hold an almost dry bush
in a very flat position and glide it gently
across the surface of the paper, such that the
pigments are applied only to the top layer of
the paper grain. This produces random white
regions that create a wonderful contrast to
the colour.

You like traveling, and paint while you are on
the go? Then the water brush from
Faber-Castell is the ideal companion for you.
Its cap has a special shape enabling you to
achieve amazing effects.
Scraping technique
You can easily move the dissolved paint on
the paper using the wedge-shaped side on
the cap to create interesting textures.
Scratching technique
The integrated grooves on the cap can be
used to create unusual effects. The damp
paper can be scored to give your picture
elaborated line patterns in less than no time.

Colour spritzing
Give your watercolour painting an
unparalleled sense of airiness by using the
splatter painting technique. Run the brush
tip over the lead of the coloured pencil in
short, quick up- and down strokes to throw
splatters directly on the picture. Try out
different distances to see which of them
give you the best results.
