Water soluble pencils from Caran d'Ache.

The name Prismalo says everything - the palette covers 80 shades of the spectrum (this box has a selection of 30) and the »lo« at the end, as in »l'eau«, indicates that these are water soluble pencils - the first of their kind. Caran d'Ache from Switzerland have been producing high quality writing instruments and art materials since 1924. The thin lead and quality of the colour pigments ensure that the Caran d'Ache Prismalo pencils are popular with artists, not only for watercolours, but also for »dry« painting - on paper, card and even on leather and wood.
