Review on Koh-I-Noor Progresso Woodless Watercolor Pencils Tin Set - 36 Colors by Karla Richter

I like the feel of wood-free pens when I use them. They apply smoothly and there is a wide range of colors in a 36 color jar. My biggest complaint is that the packaging was very poor. One pencil broke in half and 13 others had their tips broken off during shipping. They have to figure out how to protect the pens by packing them tighter together with foam in between so they don't move during transit. In addition, these pencils have not come from Lithuania for a long time. And it took a very long time to get a replacement pencil that broke in half. They kept me updated but everything was a very slow and tedious process. I also found the shipping cost of $15.99 to be quite steep, especially since it arrived defective. I never want to sharpen new pencils.
