Faber-Castell Watercolor paint - set of 12, 24 and 36 colors

Take your painting to the next level with Faber-Castell watercolors. These carefully crafted sets—available in 12, 24, and 36 colors—offer bright, transparent pigments that mix smoothly and are easily reactivated with water. Whether you start with a compact 12-color base or opt for the extensive 36-color palette, you'll always benefit from consistent quality, beautiful color transitions, and control over intensity and transparency.

Faber-Castell watercolor paints are known for their user-friendliness: colors can be easily built up from light washes to deep, saturated tones. Thanks to the fine pigment dispersion, even surfaces are created without streaks, while adding or removing water gives you complete freedom to layer, blend, and refine details. This makes the sets ideal for urban sketching, botanical illustrations, landscapes, and mixed media.

Choose the set that fits your workflow:

• 12 colours: compact base for sketching, studies and travel.
• 24 colors: wide coverage of primary, secondary and earth tones for versatile projects.
• 36 colours: maximum colour choice and nuance, less mixing required.

Practical tips: Use high-quality watercolor paper (at least 300 gsm) for optimal water absorption, work from light to dark, and let layers dry between layers for vibrant results. Combine Faber-Castell watercolor paints with soft watercolor brushes or a waterbrush for precise lines and flowing washes. Ready to paint?
