Review on 🎨 Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer WC Pencils Set of 12: High-Quality Watercolor Pencils for Artists by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

watercolor paradise! Bright and easy to resolve!

Faber Castell is my #1 favorite art supplier. It's somewhere between Faber Castell and Caran D'ache depending on the product, but I think all Faber Castell products are durable, well priced and have high quality control. While Prisma Color is great, we're all fed up with uncensored lead and similar. Faber Castell never disappoints, and when I first started exploring watercolor pencils and colored pencils, I wanted to try their line first. I was not disappointed. Unlike many water-soluble sticks, spreading doesn't require a lot of effort. You can use a mixer marker. Either alcohol or watercolor, water brush, saliva drop, splash or spray. If the line breaks, you can pour water over it and use it as a water cake. You can dunk them. You can color the swatches and use them as a cake, as well as mix your own color palette. There is no end to how to use them. Brightness is important to me, but staying power is just as important. If I put the doodles away, does my pencil already have to be replaced with a free supply? Not so at Faber Castell. The quality of the pigments and the degree of their solubility are really the highest. While a little goes a long way, with a level of dedication you can create art that doesn't just waste painting supplies on maybe not the best piece. That's what I'm worried about. And even though we learn that way, they don't just say "Hungry Artist". However, the durability, consistency and quality are within the reasonable price range for art objects for artists. I have cheap water pencils and we have fun together, but they are not the same as Albrecht DΓΌrer's pencils. I would highly recommend them to watercolorists of all levels and may one day buy my own palette from Blick. You are simply great!
