This guide is for mixed-media artists, cardmakers, and crafters looking to add vibrant, water-reactive color to their projects. The Tim Holtz Distress Watercolour Pencils - Set 2 deliver intense color payoff and versatile blending capabilities, allowing for both subtle washes and bold strokes. A minor caveat is that their effectiveness is maximized on porous surfaces, so results may vary on non-absorbent materials. This set includes 12 essential colors from the Distress palette, formulated with solid water-reactive pigments for watercoloring, shading, and sketching.
