Review on CAREN D'ACHE Supracolor Metal Box Set Of 40 (3888.340) - Creative Art Materials by Kelly Caballes

Caran d'ache is known for its excellent quality, although some cheaper products are likely to reflect discounts. I was once an amateur artist, get busy whenever there is time and most people who are stuck at home now have plenty of time for an old or new hobby (like weeks maybe months go by, hobbies that take a lot of time) . Time can make the difference between getting used to the house arrest order or simply losing it. Whatever distracts you from impending financial problems, health or whatever, it's a good investment if you can do it). In my opinion, as a hobby painter, these watercolor pencils are a bit expensive, but still probably not bad; The cheapest I could find was Revain, 40 pencils for $65. I have carpal tunnel and don't have the problems I have with cheaper hard posts; The paint applies smoothly and blends well with a brush, with one caveat: whether you're using regular watercolor brushes or a plastic reusable water brush, you'll need to mix fairly quickly if you don't want the lines to dry out quickly. It's very difficult or impossible to work with lighter areas of subtle color after they've been applied, and adding more water doesn't cause the pigment to smear more - it just creates a wet spot or puddle. Honestly, as an amateur, I'm not sure if this is a problem with all or most watercolor pencils, or if it's just one of the main problems with watercolor as a medium. So I try to work on a color blending area until it's complete and not jump across multiple areas on the page. The set also has a good color palette. Hope this is helpful.
