Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft Aquarelle Coloured Pencils 120 Set

The Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft Aquarelle 120-set is the complete collection — every color in the Supracolor range in a single professional setup. One hundred and twenty water-soluble pencils arranged across multi-tiered custom trays, covering the full spectrum from delicate pastels and precise skin tones through to deep earthy landscapes and rich saturated primaries. At this scale the palette handles the full scope of mixed-media illustration, grand-scale wash work, and high-end gallery pieces without needing to supplement with single pencils.

The 3.8mm soft core maintains high pigment concentration even when heavily diluted with water — washes remain intensely brilliant rather than washing out. Dry layers can be applied directly over dried watercolor washes for fine detail and texture work. Colors are rated under international archival stability guidelines for long-term UV fade resistance. Presented in a three-tiered metal storage box, with 40 pencils per level, each resting in a fitted metal tray.

Individual colors are also available as single pencils if you want to add specific shades to your collection.

The definitive Supracolor investment for master watercolorists, commercial designers, and professional fine artists.
