## Questions & Answers

**Q: Suitable for teenagers?**
A: Of course. They are suitable for any age if they are interested in drawing.

**Q: What would the light fastness be for these pencils?**
A: I am not sure I understand what you mean but I love these pencils

**Q: Hi. Do these leave a sheen like graphite ?**
A: Have just tried comparing with ordinary faber castell 9000 pencil - and the answer is that the faber aquarelle has a similar sheen to the ordinary pencil until you add water and then it becomes a matt finish on the paper.

**Q: is the graphite still erasable once it has been wet?**
A: I would say you can work into a bit but not completely when it has been wet.
