Good price for amazing watercolour pencils.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At first, it was hate. But like any good passion...
*by K***Y on 13 August 2015*

...half a year later (older, wiser (hah!), and with far more experience), these have turned to fierce addiction, a real goody to take on your travels! I simply cannot wait to wet the paper, just to see the inks transform something stale and dare I say, pasty and pencil-coloured looking, into something coherently marvellous, essentially: painted! With the basic shades, a mix of cool and warm, you can mix most colours (note the stupid names - Sea Blue, Bright Blue, Tangerine, Chili Red, etc). This 24 pencil tin goes far, and I've no intention of adding to the collection. Colours have never been so bright, fierce and bold - note they are inks which they are rather hush hush over, not pigments (albeit a fuzzy line but the former stain, hence will fade with time, so keep work away from sun - and any good colourist will know how to dull them accordingly for a catalogue of shades and hues. They claim to be permanent, but I'm not so convinced, but they do work on fabric amazingly! I was initially phased by the difficulty of working dry media into wet, expecting WC. Don't get water-soluble pencils thinking they're a dry form of WC, they're not: don't expect gorgeous washes. This is mostly for anal, detail work. They say they are easy to layer, i.e. using the dry pencil over a wash once dry, but it's not easy, unless your paper is heavy enough to withstand such working - I've found normal cartridge paper tends to break up. BUT, saying that, you can splatter (moisten the tip, use a brush to send a spray) and use a wet tip and 'paint' (but I've found the tip too softened to 'paint'). Go light, these are intense, hence the namesake. Now that I've a decent set of traditional WC, I would not chose these over them (whatever they say, doing the dry pencilling bit and moistening them after is tedium, something easily and more pleasurable done with WC and a good sable), but they're different mediums with individual qualities. But these will definitely go in my bag for holidays (with a water brush or not, since one charm is the ability to do the 'painting' at a more suitable time). So handy and great for mixing effects with normal WC. Relatively easy to sharpen, some are very soft and shatter easily. And they trumpet 'aquarelle pencils' (yes, I've a set of these to compare, and I rarely use them in favour of these beauties) in their density of colour, lay down and saturation which are funnily enough very similar in appearance to WC. If you're seeking for a look similar to WC (pale, washy tones), you're better off with aquarelle pencils, for these intense are so bold, you'd need a feather touch and patience (these saturated colours are more like felt-tipped pens). One last thing, a small annoyance, is their chunky, round shape, bouncing all over the place and hence making them more susceptible to shattering at the core. No biggie. Really they're not WC pencils, 'aquarelle', or the same as other sold water-soluble pencils. These are water-soluble INK pencils
