Faber-Castell Creative Studio Goldfaber Aqua Watercolour Pencil, Beige Red (132) Single Pencil, for Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

I bought two colours from this range to 'try & see', as my preferred brand is currently out of stock and I urgently needed them for a Mediterranean-themed project, namely this blue shade 151, called 'HELIOBLUE REDDISH' and  109/DARK CHROME YELLOW , an orangey-yellow shade.I am quite impressed with their performance. The core lays down a reasonably strong colour in both cases, without too much effort, and each is easy to 'wash' with a paintbrush, in my experience.‘Made in Germany’, each hexagonal-barrelled pencil is around 17 cm in length and comes ready to use with a good 'point'. The barrel is a mid-grey shade with a dipped coloured end similar to the shade of the core, to aid easy selection.The colour code is on the pencil; the colour name is not.They sharpen well with a regular-hole size, quality sharpener, and, due to the soft core, do need a fair bit, also in my experience.They each came in a plastic-type sheath with the bar code on that rather than the pencil, and in a sturdy cardboard outer.[11 images attached]

Beautiful colour and wonderful watercolour effect, but it feel down once and now its all broken inside. Tip breaks off when I sharpen it. I suspect it needs to be used with extra extra care!

Awful, Looks more brown than red....quality was terrible every time I tried to sharpen it the wood in pencil split and I tried 4 different sharpeners which work great with other pencilsAm very surprised and disappointed as Faber castell pencils are usually great quality

Works pretty well. My daughter's white pencil was wearing down and is doing a big project. Price wise buying them like this isn't cost effective but as she only needed one colour for now this was the best option.

Great product so versatile and is less mess than using watercolour paints blends well with other colours when applied to give a lighter shade.

I just gave a 4 stars because the pencil was not protected when received. It was just shoved like that into the amazon card sleeve with an other item. It could have been broken easily. The nib was already damaged when opened.Except that Faber-Castell is always good quality as usual.

Seems ok but it's just a pencil

Exactly what my son needed when his other black watercolour pencils were down to the tips only. Perfect
