Awesome watercolour pencils
By Jem7vwh
I try different brand of artist grade colored pencil and i can say that this pencil are one of the best on the market .With this box you obtain a beautiful range of colors for painting any kind of subject; the pigment of this pencil is completely watersoluble and you can use them to make detailed watercolour illustration or you can use them dry to create mixed media work.Depending on the light fastness each color is classified with 1 to 3 stars and every pencil is made with a special system to prevent the break of the lead.At the current price (47% of discount at this time) you can't have nothing better , the watercolour pencil of other brand like caran d'ache Prismalo or derwent watercolor are in many case more expensive and are made with a restricted range of color , the quality is also not comparable the only type of watercolour pencils that stand the confrontation is the caran d'ache supracolor but actually on amazon respect to the Faber-Castell the price is almost twice .

A great product and a good price compared to the art shops. They lay down well dry, but really come to life with the addition of water applied with a soft brush. The colours are the same as the Polychomos dry pencils and they can be used together in the same piece to add depth and vibrancy. HP or not watercolour paper is best as they will sort of skip over the bumps in rougher paper.

I love these pencils just as much as I love Faber-Castell's Polychromos. They are thick, chunky and a pleasure to hold. The packaging is the same as the Polychromos and the pencils are thick-cored, self-coloured, gold-detailed and have hexagonal barrells. Again, I am fortunate to have the 120 box and you can see that covers pretty much every colour and shade that you would want.But these are watercolours and you get to play with them a little more. The same strong pigment, the same laydown quality, but with the added joy of being able to add water to obtain painterly effects. Perfect for applying a solid base colour and painting on the top with dry pencils.
