24 Professional Watercolor Pencil Set
24 professional water-soluble drawing pencils — artist-grade pigmentation for art supply wholesale
Product Overview
Art supply retailers and gallery shops sourcing professional-grade watercolor pencils for their artist clientele need a product that demonstrates commitment to color quality — not just a standard school watercolor set in premium packaging. This 24 Professional Watercolor Pencil Set is formulated and produced to artist-grade specifications, with high-pigmentation water-soluble cores that deliver the color depth and wash intensity that professional and semi-professional artists require.
The 24 colors are selected around the professional artist color palette: high-saturation primaries and secondaries, carefully calibrated neutrals and earth tones, and versatile specialty shades that enable layering and color mixing with predictable, accurate results. The 3.8mm professional-grade water-soluble core uses a higher pigment-to-binder ratio than standard school watercolor pencil formulations, producing richer wash effects when water-activated and a more immediate, assertive color line in dry use. The smooth, high-pigment lay-down is particularly valued for detailed botanical illustration, portraiture, and architectural sketching.
Barrels are manufactured from FSC-certified basswood selected for consistent grain and sharpening performance. Water-soluble cores at professional pigment concentrations require barrel material that sharpens without fracturing the core — the basswood grade used here meets that requirement. All pigment formulations are EN71-3 compliant for heavy metals and REACH SVHC tested. Wood barrels carry FSC Chain-of-Custody code ESTS-COC-251233 (verifiable at info.fsc.org) at standard 175mm length, kiln-dried to 8–12% moisture content for sharpening stability under professional-grade pigment loads. FSC and BSCI certifications are provided with every order.
OEM customization, custom packaging formats (folding paper box, linen-finish gift box, tin), and private label branding are available. This product is well-suited to art supply specialty stores, gallery retail, educational institution procurement for art schools and universities, and online platforms targeting serious art supply buyers seeking professional watercolor pencil set wholesale from China and artist-grade pencil OEM for specialty art retail programs.
Samples are available for professional evaluation and colour accuracy testing before production commitment. Full FSC, BSCI, and EN71-3 compliance documentation is provided. A capable platform for professional watercolor pencil set OEM from China for art gallery retail and art school procurement.
