Forty-Eight Karat Aquarell Shades in a Two-Tray Tin

With 48 colours in a metal tin with two trays, Staedtler karat aquarell 125 M48 suits artists who paint often and want the subtle in-between shades ready to hand.

Staedtler position the karat aquarell as their high-quality watercolour pencil: a classic hexagonal pencil whose soft, colour-intensive lead gives delicate to strikingly luminous effects with water and a brush on watercolour paper, and stays bright when used dry.

At 48 colours the set moves beyond basic hues into tonal steps. The chart runs from several yellows and ochres through pinks, carmines and violets, a spread of blues and greens, and a run of browns and greys, which cuts down the layering needed to reach a particular shade.

The pencils sit in two stacked trays inside the tin, so every colour stays visible and in order while you work. Each silver barrel has an end cap in the lead colour and the print MADE IN GERMANY.

FAQs

One metal tin containing 48 karat aquarell watercolour pencils in assorted colours, arranged over two trays.
More pre-made shades means less layering to reach a tone, which keeps washes cleaner. It matters most for skin, foliage and greys.
We do not list karat aquarell single pencils at the moment. The 36 and 60 colour tins are the nearest options.
Dry, yes. For wet work use watercolour paper, as lighter papers cockle when the colour is dissolved.
