Review on Derwent Chromaflow Colored Pencils Tin, Set Of 48, Great For Holiday Gifts, 4Mm Wide Core, Multicolor, Smooth Texture, Art Supplies For Drawing, Blending, Sketching, Professional Quality (2306013) by Karen Avance

I really like these pencils and I’ve had fun using them. I have only used them on watercolor paper, not fabric or anything, but they have worked perfectly for what I have done with them. I wanted to use them very similarly to watercolor pencils. The colors are very vibrant, both dry and wet. They are pretty soft with a waxy sort of feel and put down a lot of color. They definitely work better on artist quality paper (I have used them on 140 lb watercolor paper). When they say they are permanent when dry, I would say that it’s mostly true, but not entirely. They are much more permanent than Derwent watercolor pencils though, for comparison. If the wet ink puddles and forms a line, that will bleed when wet. The edges don’t stay as crisp if more water is added after it’s dried. The second picture shows where I re-wet the ink after it had dried and how it effects the edge of the color. The swatch that I did was spur-of-the-moment, so it’s not perfect, but I hope it’s helpful to some people.
