Way more fun than regular watercolor paint! I enjoyed painting lots of things with them and they make the painting look way more realistic then watercolor paint! this comment is coming from a wonderful artist Yash! He has won many award thruoght out the school but all his first place medals were with these colored pencils that he drew with!

Not a big fan, the color quality is better than the regular Crayola color pencils but sharpening is always a problem and the watercolor quality not great. I wouldn't buy them for watercolor use but for straight coloring prefer these to the regular variety.

I have been using these watercolor pencils for nearly 10 years but the new box I just got is not the same quality as the old ones. The color on the old pencil is much richer, much smoother when coloring. The new pencils seem to be using a dryer formula so that coloring looks a lot duller. Thank goodness I still have some of the old pencils. I probably won't be buying these again but instead will buy artist quality pastels to achieve the look I want for my coloring, rich and creamy.

The colors are nice and watercolor effect is nice. My only concern is the wood does not seem very good so they are hard to sharpen.

Crayola has long been the provider of my "budget" colored pencils... and while I've tried other brands, I've kept going back to Crayola. Drawing and coloring (yes, they make coloring books for grown-ups now, too) are relaxing activities, perfect for unwinding from an otherwise stressful life, and something that can allow you to connect with the little ones in your life... which is something the little ones desperately need these days! (Real interaction... Imagine that!)I normally use ordinary Crayola pencils, but I have tried the watercolor pencils, and I have to say... if I could afford it, I'd buy a ton of these. The main difference in my opinion, is that the color seemed a bit richer with these than with ordinary pencils. And of course, you can use water to create watercolor effects. Sadly, I only bought the 8-pack. But the more colors the merrier, right? I buy the other Crayola pencils by the biggest packs I can afford, and always keep every color on hand that I can get my hands on. But I'd keep these in stock too, if I could afford to.So pick up a pack for the kids... and while you're at it, order one for you, too. (Come on... You know you want to!)

The colors are vibrant. They spread as paint nicely when you apply the water. They do a really nice job. They are bargain for what you get.

I saw these used for "face painting" at a couple of kids' parties. That's what I got them for. Actual face paint is too messy. These pencils are great. I have a bowl with a wet sponge in it. Then I just dip the tip of a pencil on the sponge and then just draw on my kids' skin. They're non-toxic, so it's ok. They don't leave stains after it's washed off the skin. We have yet to use them for watercoloring. Haha!

These watercolor pencils are so convenient and NEAT. They can be used anywhere to do the drawing and when you are in a place where can be added - the pictures can become real watercolors. No mess - no water spills in inconvenient places - no holes in the paper!! Supervision is only needed at the stage where water is introduced to the drawing. The child quickly learns that light use of pencil produces a light er shade and heavier use of pencil will produce a darker shade. A second color can be layered over the first one drawn - and then blended by the wet brush with great results.I have since bought additional pencils and am very happy with the results.

I purchased these to color in my Mandala workbook. They are amazing! Just a tiny bit of water makes these run over paper like they were paint however that dries quickly. I find myself constantly tapping the tip into my water bowl but that is expected. Wet or dry these pencils are the best on the market and you can never go wrong with Crayola. Well worth the price.BUT:They arrive sharpened and you need a good sharpener otherwise you can find yourself going through the pencils too quickly. I suggest buying the Kum Automatic Long Point Sharpener with these. Jetpens.com sells it for around 5 bucks (sometimes you can find it here on Amazon) and it will make any pencil or colored pencil last twice as long. So unless you want to buy multiple packs of these pencils then grab a good sharpener for them - they will last a very long time.Fast shipper, arrived sharpened and in perfect condition, Long lasting with a good sharpener.You can trust this product and the seller!
