48 Watercolor Pencil Set in Tin Box
48 water-soluble colored pencils in tin box — professional watercolor set for art retailers and education
Product Overview
Professional art supply retailers, art educators, and premium gift program buyers sourcing high-count watercolor pencil sets need a product that delivers genuine professional-grade versatility: the full palette depth to support serious illustration, botanical art, and portraiture work in both dry and wet media. This 48 Watercolor Pencil Set in a Tin Box is positioned for that professional and advanced hobbyist tier.
The 48 water-soluble colors provide the granular palette coverage that artists need to execute nuanced color work: multiple warm and cool versions of each primary, an extensive earth tone range, a full neutral gray scale, specialty greens for botanical work, and skin tone variants for portraiture. The 3.8mm professional-grade water-soluble core is formulated for high pigment density and strong water release, producing genuine wash depth when water-activated while maintaining adequate firmness for controlled dry drawing. The dual-use capability — dry colored pencil and water-activated watercolor paint — makes this set functionally equivalent to carrying two complete art media in one tin.
Barrels are manufactured from FSC-certified basswood selected for consistent grain and sharpening performance around the water-soluble core formulation. All pigments 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 consistent sharpening across all 48 colors. The tin box provides structural protection essential for high-count sets where core breakage during transit is a significant quality risk. FSC and BSCI certifications are provided with every order.
Custom tin printing, OEM branding, color sequence specification, and custom palette curation are available. This product is well-suited to art supply specialty chains, online art supply platforms, educational institution procurement, and premium gift wholesale buyers seeking 48-color watercolor pencil set wholesale from China and professional art pencil OEM for premium retail and art education programs.
Samples with custom tin specifications and palette configuration are available for evaluation. Full FSC, BSCI, and EN71-3 compliance documentation is provided. A capable platform for professional watercolor pencil set OEM from China targeting art retailers and premium gift buyers.
