STABILO All Watercolour Effect Pencil - Assorted Pack of 8 Pencils - Black, White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red & Brown

These pencils are great for outlining when creating acrylic paintings! They arrived in perfect condition and on time!

They took quite a while to reach me in the US (I think they came from overseas somewhere) but my instructor, Laly Mille, uses them a lot and I wanted to try them myself. Sure enough, they keep a very rich color when smeared with something damp. Very much enjoying them, and liking the different colors.

Would purchase again. The best.

I hadn't noticed that these were not specifically for paper so that is why I use these pencils for my coloring books, cards and journals. The colors are more vibrant than any I've ever used and the colored pencils seen to melt on paper when touched with water. (Not in a bad way.)I can tell you that it does not smudge. Also, I added a bit of water to a picture I did several weeks ago and the color still moved, so it is not permanent. I have thought about spraying a fixative on the final product. I am going to Google that before I do it, however. When coloring with the watercolor pencils, they feel soft and smooth in my hand but have a little drag to it when pressing down.Finally, I like these pencils so much that I messaged Stabilo today to see if they either made a set with more colors or if they have any other pencil sets very similar to the quality of these. Waiting to hear back.Hope this helps.

These pencils arrived broken. These pencils are too expensive to have not been secured for travel. We all know that if the core is harmed, the pencil continues to fall apart with use. I have been wanting these pencils for some time. I cannot express enough my disappointment.

Not well packaged and 3 out of the 8 pencils had the lead broken so by the time you sharpened, you lost over an inch on each of the 3.
