Set of 60 Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Water Colour Pencils

  • Albrecht Durer Watercolour Pencils provide artists with great versatility of expression when drawing, shading and painting in watercolours.
  • High-quality materials combined with Faber Castell’s experience have resulted in pencils that produce unsurpassed watercolour effects.
  • The coloured surface can be transformed with only a few fine or broad brushstrokes to reveal the full and unique power of the colours.
  • Depending on the paper being used, the pigments can be completely dissolved, and will then behave in the same way as classic watercolour paints:
  • The paint becomes permanent when dry, enabling other layers of colour to be superimposed without causing it to dissolve again. For this reason, many watercolour artists choose to use pencils for the fine details in their watercolour paintings, as well as for watercolour sketches while travelling.
  • Albrecht Dürer Artists’ Watercolour Pencils are available in 120 colours that are part of a unique colour matching system – encompassing all Faber Castell Art & Graphic products.
  • Thick 3.8mm break-resistant and fully water-soluble leads, can be easily blended when wet and become permanent when dry for rich watercolor effects.
  • Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Water Colour Pencils are available in the following sets: 12’s, 24’s, 36’s, 60’s and 120’s.

Durability of Pigments Over Time

Pigments used in art materials like watercolour pencils are generally quite durable over time, especially compared to dyes. Here are some key points about the durability of pigments:
Pigments are inorganic compounds that are insoluble in most liquids, unlike dyes which are organic compounds that dissolve into materials. This makes pigments more resistant to fading and degradation.
The size of pigment particles is much larger than dyes, typically 1-2 microns compared to dyes which are much smaller. The larger particle size allows pigments to better reflect colour over long periods.
Pigments resist colour degradation from factors like sunlight much better than dyes. Organic black pigments in particular are very light resistant and have been preserved for centuries.
The type and quality of pigment used influences the durability and UV resistance of the paint or medium. Certain pigments are more resistant to fading and weathering, which is important for exterior paints and artwork.
Pigments can undergo chemical changes when exposed to sunlight that alter their colour, but they don’t evaporate or disappear. The molecules change in a way that reflects more white light.
Factors like the concentration of pigment also impact durability, with higher quality paints having more pigment for better coverage and longevity.

So in summary, while pigments can change colour over very long periods of intense sunlight exposure, they are generally very durable and lightfast compared to dyes. The specific pigment used, its concentration, and how it is formulated into the paint or medium all contribute to its longevity. Watercolour pencils like Faber-Castell’s Albrecht Dürer line use high-quality, lightfast pigments for excellent durability.
