These professional watercolor sticks deliver the same intense, extra-fine pigment load you expect from premium tube colors, in a compact, portable stick format. Each stick is packed with pure, highly lightfast pigment that reactivates instantly with water to produce vibrant, strong, rich and creamy washes on paper.
Use them directly on dry paper for expressive mark-making, drawing, and building texture, or dissolve them with a wet brush for smooth gradients, delicate glazes, and traditional watercolor techniques. Their versatility makes them ideal for sketching, plein air and urban sketching, quick studies, and finished studio work—without the need for a full palette or water pan set.
Designed for artists who demand both convenience and uncompromising quality, these sticks can be shaved, dipped, or scribbled onto the page, then blended to create custom mixes and subtle color transitions. The solid format travels easily in a pencil case or sketch kit, offering the freedom to paint anywhere while maintaining outstanding control of value, intensity, and edge.
Manufactured in Seattle, Washington, each stick reflects careful craftsmanship and consistent performance, giving you reliable, repeatable results from initial sketch to final, detailed layers.
