WC PENCIL 12 CLR SET TIN

These pencils are magnificent. The pigments are lush and deep and vibrant. I actually prefer to use these pencils dry, layer them, and burnish them for an effect that is very much akin to that of an oil painting. Unlike the Prismacolor watercolor pencils, these pencils remain sharp and never seem to break; they also achieve a much better point than either the Prismas or the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer pencils. Dry, these pencils are lovely, deft, and precise and achieve wonderfully fine details. I use them wet to achieve much looser and more painterly watercolor effects! The black is nearly as darkly pigmented as the black in the Derwent Drawing Pencils set. The lightfastness is excellent, too, and I'm very comfortable using these pencils to create art work that I sell in the certain knowledge that--unlike Derwent's Inktense and Derwent's Graphitint (used wet), both of which feature miserable ratings in terms of lightfastness--these pencils are archival. I'd give these pencils ten stars if I could!

I was thinking they were all Derwent Inktense. They were not. It's a mixture of pencils. My mistake. But they are good.

Purched at 50% discount. Pakage was slightly damaged so are the pencils. But not much as they are water soluble even broken core can be used . Pencils are not best quality but lighfast. Plz use nice sharpener if you buy these. Layers well. Can be used as dry media. Nice colour range. Loved the tin. I repurposed the tin as my Watercolor palette though. Was happy with my purchase
