Winsor & Newton watercolour sticks areĀ a versatile, highly-pigmented professional watercolor product that can be used dry like a pencil or wet to create washes, similar to traditional watercolors. They are available in a range of 48 colors and allow for a fluid transition between drawing and painting, with applications including adding detail with the square shape or blending with traditional watercolors.
How to use them:

- Dip the stick in water and apply directly to the surface.
- Wet the paper with a brush and then use the stick on the wet surface.
