Review on πŸ–οΈ Sanford SA4065 Watercolor Pencil Set - 24 Count Assorted Colors, Pack of 1 by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a good buy for the money. Colors are matte, choose Staedtler cheaper, better color.

Not too impressed. I was excited to try them because an artist friend was amazed by the color quality. Maybe their kit is different from mine, or their batch had more pigment than mine. But honestly, for the same money you can get Staedtler watercolor pencils, box of 36 colors (14410ND36), they are €13 cheaper, the colors are stronger. I also really hate when they don't color the outer pin with the base color. This is a HUGE pet nuisance of mine. I knew that was the case, but I thought if they had excellent color it would even out. Ah, my $20 Staedtler wins again. As far as I know, the quality of Prisma has dropped a lot in recent years. If you look at a pencil you will see that many pencil points are not perfectly centered. I didn't realize this until Lacri (youtube) pointed it out. This is one of the reasons why some pencils keep breaking and are very difficult to sharpen. This applies to all of their pencils. And if you find defective pencils and report it to the company, they won't do anything about it. So, a word of warning. This applies to all of their pencils.

Pros
  • Pigments have excellent solubility for a smooth application
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
