Surcotto watercolour pencils 24-colour set

If you want a simple way to get watercolour style results without setting up separate paints, these Surcotto watercolour pencils give you colour that blends smoothly with water. The 24 colour set is designed for sketching, soft shading and experimenting with washes, whether you are learning at school, making art as a student or creating at home. 🎨

With a pre sharpened, ready to use format and a included fine brush, the set supports quick “draw then blend” workflows that are ideal for everyday creativity. You can build soft transitions, keep colours light and transparent, and use the pencils for more than basic drawing, including creative journalling and colour marking.

The essentials

Surcotto watercolour pencils come as a 24 colour set, covering a broad mix of hues including blue, red, green and more, so you are not constantly reaching for a missing shade. Each pencil is pre sharpened, which helps you start straight away with less setup time and less fuss. The colours are made to be light and transparent, and when you add water they create softer, more natural transitions that resemble watercolour effects. 🩵

The water soluble cores are the key to the look, as they let you apply colour directly for drawing or blend it once you brush over with water. If you prefer gentle gradients and airy washes, these are designed around that style rather than heavy, opaque coverage. You also get a fine brush for applying watercolour effects, which makes it easier to control where the blend happens.

Storage and handling are covered too, thanks to the wooden barrel design and the included metal tin. The triangular barrel shape is made for a comfortable grip, which can matter during longer drawing sessions or when working at a desk.

Key features

These Surcotto watercolour pencils are built for water based colouring, using water soluble cores that support smooth blending. When colours are applied and then mixed with water, they produce soft and natural transitions rather than hard edges. The set is also described as avoiding dullness, which can help keep your artwork looking fresh when you layer and blend. 🎨

You will also appreciate the practical design details. The pencils include a wooden barrel in a classic navy blue tone, with end caps that match the colour of the core for easy selection. They are made using eco friendly, non toxic materials and are said to meet EN71 safety standards, which is helpful when the set is shared for school style use. 🧡

For everyday convenience, the pencils arrive ready to use and come with a metal tin that helps protect them from damage during storage and transport. The included fine brush supports watercolour effects, so you do not need to source extra tools just to get started.

If you use colouring pencils for different activities, this set is positioned for that flexibility too. Beyond traditional drawing, you can use the pencils for calligraphy, colour marking and creative journaling, depending on the look you are aiming for.

Who it’s for

It’s a good fit if you want watercolour style results using colouring pencils, especially for soft colours and blended transitions. It makes sense if you are learning techniques at school, practising as a student, or relaxing with art at home and you want an easier starting point than switching between dry and wet mediums. You’ll like it if you value a ready to use set, comfortable handling, and a tidy storage option for regular use.

It might not be a great match if you are looking for bold, fully opaque colour coverage from the start, as the set is described as producing light and transparent colours. You may want to skip it if you already have a dedicated watercolour setup and only need standard coloured pencils for everyday dry colouring without blending.
