Best watercolor pencils I’ve used so far.
When applied dry-on-dry and then wet with a brush the pencil strokes disappear completely – exactly as hoped. Other brands only partially dissolve, leaving the watercolor pencil marks visible – even if lightly scrubbed while applying a water wash.
Applied dry-on-wet the marks mostly fade, but some become adhered to the paper, leaving lines.
Colors are reasonably vibrant. No complaints.
If you’re looking for an easy way to capture base tones while urban sketching, this is a great option.
Beginners – avoid the tempting, cheap watercolor pencils Amazon promotes for gifts – buy these. You’ll never be able to make your paintings look as you expect. This is what you want.

This is a nice set of watercolor pencils. They lay down consistent color and blend very well on the paper mediums that my wife has used them on thus far. I could wish for a little larger variety of colors, particularly greens, but this is a great set for what it is. Definitely recommend for a starter set of watercolor pencils.

J’adore ces crayons mais il ne faut pas trop colorier sinon c’est trop foncé. Un vrai plaisir

The color goes on the paper smoothly, and when you add water, the effect is beautiful. Highly recommend.

The metal of the box was permanently dented! It won’t close all the way.
