Derwent Watercolour Pencils, Painting & Drawing, Set Of 72, Ideal For Blending & Layering, Professional Quality, 32889

Much more control using these pencils with my watercolour brushes than using the paints, nice colours as well

I love these Derwent watercolor pencils. They feel creamy in texture and wonderful to draw with. I've used so many brands of pencils over the years but Derwent for me feels like the best quality to use. It's wonderful to apply water to the drawing and they are so versatile for the way you draw/paint with it. I will always come back to these watercolor pencils, great shades and quality, they're the best to draw with, I have found.

i love using these with a water brush, great for on the go

Nice colour range, which correspond to many of Derwent's Artists (water resistant) pencils. I like the simple numbering system on them (1-72 !!) Also, they are named.. The colours are not as intense as Derwent's Intense pencils - but that is what I wanted, as they seem more realistic for landscapes. Colours mix nicely. They crumble a little bit when using them, but that doesn't bother me. Nice to use wet or dry and you can wet them again after drying if you wish. Nice tin, though plastic inserts holding the pencils are a bit thin and 2 corners have already broken. Good set to take out. I am enjoying using them.

I am very pleased with the pencils and they make your colouring look like water colour paintings.

Bought these for an elderly lady, she has had no trouble in using them and said "they are bloody fantastic"

These are truly great water colour pencils and leaves fantastic water colour pictures, blending ability is second to none I have really enjoyed using them. Thank you very much for enabling me to actually become half decent purely because of the standard of the pencils.

The package came damaged and not well protected (not the sellers fault) and as these are soft core I didn't want any of the inside to be broken. I contacted the seller and they sent a replacement that was really well packaged and came perfect. The pencils themselves are a massive step up in the quality I've used before and if you use them professionally or for doll repaints I would highly recommend.

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!

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

Les meilleures que j'ai testées à ce jour.

Superbe coffret. Les finitions du coffret en lui-même sont irréprochables, et les crayons sont très bien. Tout ce qu'on peut attendre d'une bonne marque comme Derwent !
