Review on 🎨 Koh-i-noor Mondeluz Aquarell Drawing Set: Exceptional 72 Colored Pencils for Vibrant Artwork by Tara Ford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pencil colors do not match colors in 24 piece set

I wanted these to complement my 24 piece set. Set and at the same time offers an additional variety of palettes. I noticed that about my pencils in a 24 tin can. Color names, a gold-tipped end, and a 3720/ prefix for the color number were printed (e.g. 3720/4 for dark yellow versus 3710/4 with no color name in a set of 72). ) While the colors apply silky smooth and dissolve similarly, the colors in the set of 72 do not contain all the colors in the set of 24. I found a 72 color Koh-I-Noor pattern - Chartpak 2017 that showed all 24 colors were included in the 72 piece set. Not with this set - I could find out if I took the time to look at all the pictures showing the pencils in the list of 72 items on Revain. I see Koh-I-Noor making another 72 piece set (not on Revain). The missing colors include carmine, pink, light purple and Prussian blue. However, there are many colors, including colors that look like missing ones, and the quality of the pen is good. The base mediums are easy to apply and dissolve almost completely in water - or dissolve completely if you only apply a light coat. I was hoping to get a more varied palette without losing the experience of the 24 color set. So I just make my own color swatches using the pens from both sets so I can see the differences and replace them accordingly. Please also note that this 72 piece set does not come in a tin, only includes fragile plastic trays with cardboard storage. It's fine for studio work, but you'll need other precautions when going into the field. On the other hand, this set contains a simple hand sharpener and 3 small round brushes for watercolor paints - sizes 3, 8 and 9.
