The water-based ink is always ready for use and can also be completely washed out with water. The versatility of this marker is especially convincing when traveling.

Parallel hatching / Cross hatching

In parallel hatching, the strokes run in the same direction. Stroke length and distance vary the optical result. Overlapping and compacting influences the tonal value and

mixed tones.

For cross hatching, hatchings are overlapped at different angles. Various mixed tones and shadings define the thickness, colour and cromacity of the cross hatchings..

Colour transition

Applying two colours on areas adjacent to each other and then blending the two areas with a wet brush in the middle will produce flowing bleed patterns and brilliant mixed colours.

Glaze

Here, several thin colour layers are laid on top of eachother. Each layer of colour applied must dry before overlapping with the next colour. As watercolours are transparent, the

overlapping colours mix visually to create new colours. Painting with glazes gives a picture layer-for-layer depth.

Wet in wet

Every watercolour painter knows and loves this painting technique. First the paper is well dampened with clear water. The colour pigments are dissolved on the paper when the drawing starts and immediately they spread out across the wet surface.

Faber-Castell, founded in 1761, is one of the world’s leading companies for high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative design as well as decorative cosmetic products. It is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and has been owned by the same family for nine generations.

Faber-Castell can draw a positive balance regarding climate protection. A scientific study by the German technical inspection association TÜV Rheinland has confirmed that Faber-Castell’s forests in Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tons of carbon. They retain considerably more CO2 than the company emits worldwide, so that Faber-Castell can consider itself to be carbon neutral.
