Faber Castell WaterColor Pencils with Sharpener and Brush, 48 WaterColored Pencils set

Great product, i used to have this when I was younger (gradeschool) and even used it back in college, really great for beginners, learning and even learning the new medium. I got a new box for myself, since i miss these and my old box are missing/runned out of some colors. I got these since I wanted to go back to traditional since I have been doing digital, and dont want to commit to highend materials yet.

full disclosure: I not a professional artist, it's just an occasional hobby. However, my sister is a professional and she liked these though watercolor is not her favorite medium (she uses oils). That being said, I love these pencils. From my limited experience, they work quite well and I love the variety of colors in this package. The case is quite clever and overall, the whole thing is a joy to use.

I absolutely love these pencils. I was looking for a set of watercolor pencils to start out with and heard nothing but good things about this brand. I gotta say that I 100% agree. The pigment that u get is fantastic. I used them to design a wedding invite and it came out gorgeous. They were easy to use and to layer. I'm currently working on a greeting card that I included a picture of so u get an idea of how vibrant the colors can be. I also felt that the price was very reasonable and manageable for most budgets.

Pencils are good. Work as advertised. Purchase was supposed to include a pencil sharpener but it wasn’t with the pencils. Hard to use without a sharpener. A variety of colors in the box.

Would have given these a five star because the watercolor pencils are vivid and bright. It takes very little water for them to change into watercolors too. But it didn't come with a sharpener and the paint brush is junk. Otherwise they would have been perfect.

Best value you can get. I had bought very poor quality pencils. But this Fabre Castell water color pencil product rocks. Inside the package it also supplies a. Pencil sharpener which I found better than most of sharpeners I got from other pencil products. It is very reasonably priced and the quality is very decent. Ditch the 120-color set and go for this one. You won’t feel disappointed. The tin box 120-color is 19 times more expensive.

Faber-Castell is great when it comes to colored pencils; quality of wood is very good, especially when you sharpen it, won't break or shred. I like their watercolor pencils because it's lighter than the oil based ones - the shades are lighter side, but can be darkened, which I like because of the contrast it can create in a coloring.

These pencils are great! I got them for doll customization for a face-up, but I use them for watercolor painting too. In both projects I was satisfied 100%. They blend pretty easily. I have one other art supply from Faber Castell, (ink liners) and I can say so far I like this brand!
