A set of 12 watercolor crayons of very good quality is offered by Cretacolor. Marino series are stunning colors, a smooth line and high resistance to light. Their true beauty shows clean, transparent color patches slowly transforming using water. All this is due to the composition of the stylus, which is based on a mixture of gum arabic, glycerine and bile. Crayons are an easy-to-learn alternative to traditional, harder watercolors. However, nothing prevents you from drawing them dry. Used without water, they mix well with each other, you can apply several layers (one on top of the other) to create interesting color effects. Although the set of 12 colors may seem limited, extending the spectrum of colors both dry and wet is very simple. You can create unique shades yourself. Marino pencils are very soft, they are characterized by strong pigmentation, so even a gentle tug on the sheet leaves a distinctive, intense trail. They are suitable for drawing works on various subjects, such as portraits of people, animals, sunny landscapes, still nature, and architecture. They look beautiful on colored papers, they are clearly visible even on black pages. Watercolor pencils easily temper and are not fragile despite their softness. The whole is closed in a cardboard box.
