Disappointing Watercolor Pencil for Artists

Based on my experience with this product it falls short in the Arts and Crafts arena. While it lays down color smoothly, it disappoints in vibrancy and water solubility. The pencil also tends to break easily which is frustrating for the user....

Pros
  • Smooth application
Cons
  • Poor vibrancy, lacks water solubility, breaks easily

Premium quality watercolor pencil

Excellent water color pencil. I've heard a lot about Albrecht Dürer's line, and rightly so, but didn't want to buy a set; I was happy to find them freely available. I needed a black pencil specifically for monochrome watercolor sketches and adding gray smudges to ink sketches. This pencil is a good choice for this purpose, maybe a little expensive for drawing but not too much. You can draw light, sketchy lines that can be erased when dry and smudge completely when water is applied. The values…

Pros
  • Colored surfaces can be changed with just a few brush strokes.
Cons
  • Only available in black
