I ordered these pencils because I've worked with various types of watercolors (tubes, solids, etc.) with mixed results. My problem is getting sharp detail with a brush. The problem isn't with the watercolors or my brushes as I buy quality items, but with my skill level (or lack thereof). Still, I enjoy working with watercolors as a form of expression and self-therapy! These pencils make it easier for me to work finer details into projects I am doing. I find these pencils very versatile. They work like a colored pencil when dry and like a very rich, heavily pigmented watercolor when wet - but you can, of course, adjust the intensity of the color by using more or less water. Also, if you can shave some of the pencil off - or mix it with water on the paper - if you want to combine more than one color.I received my first set of these pencils as a gift about 30 years ago when I was 15 and have continued to purchase new (and larger) sets over time. I've tried a couple of other brands, but haven't been as satisfied. These pencils are an integral part of my art therapy and because they work well and are easy to control, they reduce my frustation level (a must for my art therapy to be a joy)!!Finally, I must mention the tin, which is great. Sure, you're paying more than if the pencils came in a box, but the tin is great - you can keep all the colors in order (if you're that type of person) and it stays nicely closed (when in horizontal position) and is smooth and professional looking, which makes these look all the better for a gift. I've purchased three sets of these as gifts and everyone has loved them, from the young budding artist to the adult who likes to tinker with various mediums, but knows and appreciates quality materials. If you order them, I hope you enjoy!!

Everything was as the product info said it would be! There were no problems and the pencils arrived when it was said they would. I'm really enjoying them now, it's a new medium for me. All in all, good experience!

I am taking a printmaking class this semester and I absolutely love this product. The colors blend effortlessly and I am finally looking forward to watercolor images.

I found that using the pencils instead of inks with water color works alot easier and the colors are nice.

The Tin is really neatThe Texture, Wood and Shading Effects is better than My Staedtler Set, but isn't better than my Faber Castell.But Still, This Product is great for painting and is Cheaper for the Price.

I got the pencils in excellent condition way before I expected to get them :) I am still learning how to use them, but they seem to be very good quality. And, from this seller, A major discount versus local hobby/craft shops, and like I said- very little wait...more than half off for maybe 2 days delay! A+++
