Review on Royal Langnickel Small Watercolor Pencil by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for what it is but reasonable expectations

I really only bought this for the black pencil and tin. For me it was worth what I paid for it, the rest of the pencils were kind of a bonus. Cheap set, colors not saturated, lightfastness seems poor, fades a bit if left on dash for a week and color matching was pure bullshit. It's really for coloring books, not for creating masterpieces. They "work", color activates well and mixes well mechanically, but neither color "plays well" together so mixes are messy. Poor color selection makes it really useless even for a beginner. Obviously you get what you pay for. Well, if you like coloring books and find them relaxing, or you want to give the kids something to have fun with, great. But if you're even half serious about using pencils for drawing, this set isn't for you. Invest your money in something better.

Pros
  • Includes 10 watercolor pencils, 1 graphite pencil, 1 brush and 1 storage tin
Cons
  • Concise instructions
