Karat Aquarell Watercolour Pencils Tin - Set Of 12, Assorted Colours

I love these. I have been using coloured pencils for over 25 years now but all of the watercolour pencils I have tried in the past were pretty naff and put me off using them. These however work beautifully as a watercolour pencil. I drew and shaded my picture first and then gently washed parts of the picture with a wet brush, the pencil strokes instantly turned into watercolour which was easily blended. Delightful. I would advise anyone starting out to be careful if you want to blend very dark colours into lighter ones, you could end up with a muddy result. I find the best thing to do in this case is to leave a patch of white between the colours and carefully blend the colours into the white - just a method I use. I wouldn't use these pencils purely for a coloured pencil shading drawing/exercise because they are too soft. Also if you use them on textured paper the colour really catches the grain of the paper. I would only use them on textured paper if you want to take advantage of the watercolour element, or if you want a 'grainy' pencil effect. They aren't really suitable as an all round colour pencil in my opinion. The pencils are presented in 2 layers (a good range of colours) and the lid on the tin can be removed and just fits easily back on which is very handy because you can then use the inside of the lid to put pencils in as you swap and change colours. A great product in my opinion :)

These are the best watercolor pencils I’ve found. Incredible colors, triangular shape (ergonomic) and works beautifully alone or with my regular watercolors paints. They’re fun to use, blend and build colors (although they are very pigmented)and I’ve even been able to mix these pencils to creat transition colors when drawing peacock feathers, trees, whatever. I love painting with watercolor paint but these are incredible w/c pencils. Sometimes I just feel like drawing and these are a dream to use wet or dry. I am amazed every time I use them. They work better than many brands of watercolor paints I’ve used. These are a great addition to have in your art collection and they are absolutely worth the price!

The product is AMAZING. You should definitely try this out.Definitely, it's a different experience. I mean you use a brush and a pallete to paint but this cute, little box makes it so handy to take anywhere. You can activate the pigment by adding water with a brush. Definitely a THUMBS UP for this.

Je pratique le coloriage pour adulte et ce sont mes premiers crayons aquarellables. Ils sont vraiment biens. Les couleurs sont très belles et très pigmentées. Les fondus sont très faciles à réaliser et vraiment je suis ravie. Je le recommande.
