One small gripe. *by M***L on 17 November 2019* Can't argue that these pencils are great value for money and I'm already thinking up lots of pencil drawings to try these out on, and I'm happy with my purchase. The colours are beautiful, vibrant and varied enough that you won't need to go looking for any extra colours while you're creating your masterpiece! However, there's one small niggle for me which was a little disappointing. It's stated that the pencil lines "disappear when water is added". Unfortunately, many of them don't. I've tried out every technique I can think of to get a smooth blend with these, and they always leave distinct marks behind. I've tried minimal pressure pencil marks on dry then brushed with wet/ pencil on wet paper/pencil dipped in water then blended on paper/ I've even tried wet pencil on wet paper, but many of the colours leave scratchy pencil lines which are especially apparent once the paint has dried. This would be fine if you were creating a detailed illustration where you kind of want those little pigmented lines to remain with a nice watery blend around them, but for any medium to large areas, you're not going to get a consistent watercolour effect without seeing where you scribbled. Maybe tweaking the product description to state that it's more of a blended line would manage expectations more. I'd still buy the set if it said that. I've added a numbered image where I used blending on dry paper, and then the wet method, along with various shapes and lines I drew which you can see show through once the water has blended the pigment out. The swatch shows a similar thing. 6-10 are shapes I drew then blended out. Apart from the yellow/orange blend, many of them leave some pretty obvious lines. 4 & 5 were wet paper with a wet pencil, and I got a slightly better blend from that. I can see these being awesome for line work with effects, or intricate spots of colour, but I'd be reluctant to use these on an actual watercolour piece. If you just want these for a more flowy colouring pencil piece, then they're a must-have. ## Frequently Bought Together - Castle Art Supplies 72 Watercolour Pencils Set | Premium Vibrant Pigments for Blending, Drawing and Painting | For Adults, Hobbyists and Professionals I Protected and Organised in Presentation Tin Box - Castle Arts Flowers Colouring Book | 36 Mindfulness-Inspiring Blooms Curated by in-House Artists with Colour Reference Guide | No Show-Thru Artist Grade Paper | Frameable Landscape A4 Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/92868199-72-watercolour-pencils-set-for-adults-professionals](https://www.desertcart.us/products/92868199-72-watercolour-pencils-set-for-adults-professionals) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
