Hatching / Cross hatching
Holding the Albrecht Dürer at a steep angle creates fine lines. This pen posture is ideal for cross hatches and exact lines, e.g. for sketching.
Varying pressure
Different shades of colour can becreated by varying the pressure on the pencil. The Albrecht Dürer is designed to withstand even extreme pressure, allowing intense, clearly defined areas of colour to be produced.
Watercolouring
Painting over the colour with a moist paintbrush turns the pigment on the paper into a vibrant watercolour painting.
Intensive colours
Thanks to the voluminous lead, a large number of pigments can be
applied quickly and watercoloured afterwards. The colour intensity varies between vibrant colours and pastel shades depending on the amount of water used..

Faber-Castell, founded in 1761, is one of the world’s leading companies for high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative design as well as decorative cosmetic products. It is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and has been owned by the same family for nine generations. With more than two billion pencils and colour pencils per year and around 8,000 employees, Faber-Castell is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, represented in over 120 countries, with production sites in nine countries and companies in 23 countries.
Faber-Castell can draw a positive balance regarding climate protection. A scientific study by the German technical inspection association TÜV Rheinland has confirmed that Faber-Castell’s forests in Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tons of carbon. They retain considerably more CO2 than the company emits worldwide, so that Faber-Castell can consider itself to be carbon neutral.
