Review on 🎨 Vibrant 48-Color Watercolor Pencils Set with Brush for All Ages – Perfect for Adult & Kid Artists by Kim Sanchez

I wouldn't normally compare a similar brand to a more expensive brand but this one blew the label on Faber Castell Aquarelle watercolor pencils so blatantly that I don't have a choice because I don't want anyone to take them to to confuse. If you look at my photos you will see how real this packaging and even the design of the pens are. They're even called watercolors, and the case really does resemble that of the Faber Castell. The text is the same, the inside is the same, even the pens are similar. But real ones have blue dots on the sides that are soft and help hold the pens better, while they just have silver dots that do nothing but make them look similar. I don't know why companies do this because it's misleading. The pens come in a metal box and there are two plastic pen trays. The trays are very thin and the top is difficult to remove as it is so thin. There's also a brush in the set, but it's not very good, so I'd recommend using your own. I checked the pencils and they are fine but certainly not as good as the real ones. They're great for beginners or just those who want to paint with watercolors, but they're not professional quality and anyone used to using quality watercolor pencils will notice the difference. Some colors have decent pigment, but many are quite light and you really need to apply a lot of color to get a good result. Black isn't very pigmented at all - a good color to judge quality by. Also, they don't completely dissolve when you add water, so you often see pencil lines left behind after the water has dissolved. Some of the colors even had extra lines that appeared after I added water - something you don't want to leave in your watercolors. I also tested their blend and they nailed it, but you can tell it's not great because while the blue is really pigmented, the red isn't that strong, so the blend of the two looks blurry. For the price they are ok and suitable for most beginners but I just don't recommend them as they try to make themselves look like more expensive brands. They should only use their own branding and not rob other companies.
