Review on Norberg & Linden LG74 Watercolor Pencil Set - Vibrant Colors, Blendable Pencils with Watercolor Paper Pad & Portable Storage Box - Ideal Painting Supplies for Kids & Adults (72 Pack) by Tara Ford

For lovers of colored pencils: non-professional quality pencils. While they work well, the problem with these pens in particular is the uneven texture. Some pencils are soft and oily, others are more brittle and hard when set in color. All are readily soluble in water. They're versatile, I've tried white on colored paper (to use dry like pastel) and it worked well, and of course you can dampen them with a brush to use as watercolor. They are particularly good for children, especially older children who want to get creative. Try colored paper (colored paper or pastel colored paper as heavy paper tends to fade) for interesting effects. Use watercolor paper like Strathmore or Arches to dampen your pencils; Paper determines many of the good effects you will achieve. As for the pencil set: the box is a cardboard box, not a tin can. I actually like it (I know banks are traditional). That's why I like cardboard. The glasses sag over time, the hinges loosen and they tend to open and the pins fall out. Cardboard is actually more reliable. You don't want to drop your pencils because the lead inside can tear and then when you sharpen the lead falls off and you have to sharpen again. The pencil runs out, and it costs you a lot of money if you do a lot of drawings. If you're serious about using crayons, you can put your pencil set in the carousel (many are made of bamboo). and so much easier to use at the table. ) So box or can doesn't matter. The set is ideal for those who love coloring books to relax, draw mandalas or just play with art materials. the pencil has good qualities; The best-selling pencil (Prismacolor) has open ends, a round body, and no plug. Norberg pens have a recessed tip (holds the lead more securely) and shows the color of the pen at the end. The hexagonal body makes it easy to roll off the table. Colored pencils need a good sharpener. I like the Staedler with two sizes of sharpeners inside the container, the larger one is for soft pencils and colored pencils but you can use the smaller hole with a more acute angle to draw with a pointed end if you like. It's affordable and easy to use. Many color pencil enthusiasts use a large capacity electric sharpener. X-Acto and Boston are popular because you can press a pencil and get sharp in seconds. This is more effective with intensive use of colored pencils. Now I tend to use Staedler because I can paint anywhere. The 72 colors are very generous, so if you're not too picky about crayon textures or need intense color overlays, then this is a good buy. .
