Faber-Castell Watercolor Cakes With Brush, 24 mm Pans, Bright & Washable, Non-Toxic, Blendable & Quick-Wet, Ideal for Paper Drawing & Other Craft, Assorted - Pack of 12 Colors

Dip or lightly moisten the included brush, touch it to a cake to pick up color, then apply to your paper. If you want deeper/stronger color, add a bit more water or more pigment. The cakes rewet easily for glazing or soft edge work.

The set includes twelve distinct shades chosen to support gradients, color theory practice, and everyday drawing. They’re designed to mix cleanly to create additional hues without muddying.

Yes. The formulation is intended for smooth blending with minimal streaks and is layer-friendly for glazing and soft edge work on each pass.

Heavier watercolor paper (around 180 gsm or thicker) works best, as it handles water well and reduces warp. It also performs well for practice with student-grade papers, though layering and lifting may be more noticeable on thinner stock.

Yes, the colors are non-toxic and suitable for classroom or home use with typical precautions (avoid contact with eyes, wash hands after use, and supervise young children during painting).

Keep the lid closed to prevent the colors from drying out, wash and dry the brush after use, and store the set in a cool, dry place to preserve pigment quality.

It's ideal for beginner and student art projects, color-m mixing practice (gradients and secondary colors), quick studies, and routine classroom painting activities where ready-to-use color is helpful.

Compared to a similar Faber-Castell option that includes a brush (with 24 mm pans), this version integrates a brush into the set for on-the-go painting. If you’re considering a brush-free option, you can compare to the Faber-Castell 12-color watercolor pans set, which offers the same color range without the included brush.

Use light pressure for smoother blends, keep your brush clean between colors, and layer gradually to build depth. If you need a lighter edge, you can slightly lift color with a clean damp brush or tissue while it’s still workable.

You get twelve versatile colors plus a handy brush in a compact kit, designed for quick activation and reliable color behavior. The blend-friendly, rewettable formulation supports a range of techniques from flat washes to gentle glazing, making it well-suited for practice and study at a reasonable price point.
