72 Watercolour Pencils Set for Adults, Professionals

A really great selection of watercolour pencils. The trays lift out easily and it is simple to remove a pencil from the tray without disturbing the others. The pencils are numbered which is very helpful especially for beginners like myself who are stumbling through this new world of colour and learning as I go. The pencils feel very good quality, are comfortable and strong to hold, and deliver a beautiful colour, and then continue to impress when you use a small brush and water with them. I am so impressed and have found the quality of these pencils have given me such good results that it has given me the confidence to do so much more than I ever thought I was able to. I cannot recommend these pencils highly enough. I really am very impressed.

I was pleasantly surprised by these pencils. Great colour selection and they work surprisingly well as watercolours when used on the correct paper. Really good value, would recommend for people who want to dabble without investing too much money.

Can't argue that these pencils are great value for money and I'm already thinking up lots of pencil drawings to try these out on, and I'm happy with my purchase. The colours are beautiful, vibrant and varied enough that you won't need to go looking for any extra colours while you're creating your masterpiece! However, there's one small niggle for me which was a little disappointing. It's stated that the pencil lines "disappear when water is added". Unfortunately, many of them don't. I've tried out every technique I can think of to get a smooth blend with these, and they always leave distinct marks behind. I've tried minimal pressure pencil marks on dry then brushed with wet/ pencil on wet paper/pencil dipped in water then blended on paper/ I've even tried wet pencil on wet paper, but many of the colours leave scratchy pencil lines which are especially apparent once the paint has dried. This would be fine if you were creating a detailed illustration where you kind of want those little pigmented lines to remain with a nice watery blend around them, but for any medium to large areas, you're not going to get a consistent watercolour effect without seeing where you scribbled. Maybe tweaking the product description to state that it's more of a blended line would manage expectations more. I'd still buy the set if it said that. I've added a numbered image where I used blending on dry paper, and then the wet method, along with various shapes and lines I drew which you can see show through once the water has blended the pigment out. The swatch shows a similar thing. 6-10 are shapes I drew then blended out. Apart from the yellow/orange blend, many of them leave some pretty obvious lines. 4 & 5 were wet paper with a wet pencil, and I got a slightly better blend from that. I can see these being awesome for line work with effects, or intricate spots of colour, but I'd be reluctant to use these on an actual watercolour piece. If you just want these for a more flowy colouring pencil piece, then they're a must-have.

I ordered the water colour pencils as I had already ordered the 120 normal colouring pencil set from Castle Art which I might add are amazing. The water colour pencils turned up very quickly and although I haven't had the chance to use them on any projects yet I did have a little test to see how they were. They are quite amazing. the colour flows with water without leaving any scratchy lines. The pencils themselves are lovely and soft so no scratching on the paper. I tested them on water colour card but haven't had the chance to test on mixed media paper or card yet. Therefore overall I would say a fantastic set of pencils for an unbelievable price.

My favourite art equipment. I use these a lot

Had been looking at this product for a while and when it came up on a lightning deal it was a no brainer for me lol. The pencils are really lovely. Vast range of colours , very smooth and creamy and good pigment strength. I would also add that they are the best range I have come across to work on greyscale colouring. If you are considering these I would certainly recommend them.

Takes a lot of sharpening, to get a point.

Lovely set of pencils, plenty of colours and the coverage from each pencil is soft and vibrant. The tin is nice to keep them in and the colour chart underneath is very useful, although could do with a separate card to keep handy. The plastic trays are a bit flimsy and so makes it quite awkward getting them out, and then the pencils fall out everywhere. But its not a bad selling point, would still recommend the pencils. Fabulous for the price.

Excelente producto. Llego antes de lo esperado. Mil. Gracias

gebruik voor oud maken van huisjes op treintafel , prima resultaten

Pleased with the colour range

me ha gustado mucho, 72 lapices es bastante variedad de colores no soy experto, pero creo que la calidad es buena. buen precio

Excellent product for the price point . Pencils sold as a set only so they cannot be individually replaced which is unfortunate. Colours are vibrant and easy to layer great for beginners.
