These are great watercolor pencils. I love to paint with watercolors and often use the pencils in combination with paint. I like to make own gift tags, special greeting cards and mini paintings so these are perfect to use for a quick, fast drying project.

Derwent watercolor pencils are of comparable quality to Prismacolor. I love the range of colors provided and really appreciate being able to purchase specific pencils as needed. Blick packaged the pencils so carefully and they arrived sooner than expected, too! Thank you! #sweepstakes

I really liked this watercolor pencil. I haven't tried many previous, so I don't have much to compare it to but the color is vibrant when used as a watercolor and draws smoothly as a pencil. I think using these pencils when watercoloring on the go or out in the open would be fantastic. The only thing is I wished these pencils were a little softer. When wanting to apply them to be used as watercolor sometimes the pencil lines are still visible because the lead is hard.
I love Derwent's watercolor pencils. They've got a great texture dry, versatile, colors are excellent. Some good transparencies as well as opaque colors. They dissolve well and re-dissolve as I expect from a watercolor pencil. If you want them to dry water resistant or waterproof, get Derwent Inktense or some other brand, I think the Albrecht Durer ones are more like Inktense. But Derwent's are proper watercolor pencils - the resulting watercolor effect can be lifted, lightened, re-wetted to charge in more color, edges softened and of course, can be used dry into wet for strong effects. Easy to handle. Not that prone to internal breakage, no worse than regular pencils on that. Derwent's website is good for listing lightfastness of specific colors, which is useful ... MoreI love Derwent's watercolor pencils. They've got a great texture dry, versatile, colors are excellent.

Derwent's website is good for listing lightfastness of specific colors, which is useful depending on what you want them for. They also have good tutorials. Wonderful portable water media, I keep finding more and more use for them. Excellent for plein air or any kind of sketching on the go, a small palette gives the blendability of watercolor, but a large set in an elastic-band case is still fairly compact and allows all the dry-medium precision of hues. Very good in watercolor painting to either pull from tip or dissolve tip, or just scribble patches to use for a mini-palette in a travel journal or sketchbook.
These are great for portraits and so many other artworks. These are versatile. And I know, because i have been using them for more than 25yrs., with or without water being brought into the artwork. I will buy more. It is inevitable.
I admit to not having tried many other pencil brands, but have been using Derwent for years. They provide good pigments, and I'm a big fan of watercolor pencils. Always a bit challenging to sharpen the pencils when you order online as the barcode stickers are on individual pencils (if not ordering in a tin pack - not barcode issues here). I've lost quite a bit of pencil trying to get the barcode sticker off. All and all, I would recommend Derwent and find them to be affordable for the quality that is offered. I do love Blick's option to buy pencils individually so that you can have a selection of colors of your choosing.
Other artists may be fussy when it comes to pencil breakage and/or wood casings. I am not quite that when it comes to watercolor pencils. Instead, I look for strong pigments and fluid blending properties.My first Derwent colored pencil set was a set from their Inktense series. Up until then, I had only really used Faber-Castell's "Aquarelle" series so it might be unfair in comparing the Derwent Artist grade against a [more or less] student grade series. I found I really loved the Inktense pencils - but then needed more skin tone colors for the work I do. Already impressed by Derwent's [non-soluble] colored pencils, I am now building - pencil by pencil - more natural and mid-range tones from their watercolor pencil line. Which is to say I am really happy with ... MoreOther artists may be fussy when it comes to pencil breakage and/or wood casings. I am not quite that when it comes to watercolor pencils.

I purchased these watercolor pencils for my first attempt at branching out into other mediums. I was thinking I'd just get a little color into a sketch I'd done, and be finished. But these pencils are everything I didn't know I needed. They lay down nice rich color, when working with them as pencils. Then when adding a little water with the brush to blend - wow! Nice smooth color, and when the paper is just slightly damp, they give an even richer distinct color, for adding details that you don't want blended in. I am completely happy with this product! And the nice tin they come in is perfect to protect them when taking them with you from place to place. Just throw it in your bag and go! No worries about broken points or even broken or lost pencils. I actually have ... MoreI purchased these watercolor pencils for my first attempt at branching out into other mediums.

I had never used anything but oil paints and decided to give something new a try. I love the pencils hat using water with changes all to water colors. I have been" playing " with them enjoying. tremendously.
