Use Pencils Wet or DryCombine the control of a pencil with the beauty of watercolor. You can use dampened paper to obtain bright colors with soft edges, or a wetted pencil tip to create rich, textured lines. The pencils will retain their full intensity, however you choose to use them. |
Layer to Make Unique BlendsDue to the softer formulation, the pigments transfer to paper more quickly. This allows you to easily blend and layer colors together to create a range of unique effects, from bold, vibrant colors to delicate watercolor washes. |
Adjust Shades By Adding WaterCreate flowing watercolor effects with the versatile pigments. As the colors are not permanent, you can use water to move and adjust the color again and again, even after it has dried. Customize colors by adding more water, which allows you to create muted, watercolor washes. |

My thoughts- These pencils react better than expected. They are very smooth to draw with - better than most mid price pencils in my opinion, and reacted beautifully with water.
There are perhaps two shades of pink and the three yellows that I feel didnt have enough pigment, but perhaps I needed to do stronger swatches as well. They appear to layer well, so I don't think it's a true deficiency.
Using the chinese white (#72) on white paper, it becomes nearly invisible, so it is a good background white. (I unfortunately did not swatch it over black.) The ivory black pencil (#67) is good and strong, with a nice transparency - similar to a lamp black in a regular palette.
I also tested lifting them off paper after they've dried, and while I wasn't able to get the paper back to white, I was able to lift the majority of the pigment. Perfect for adding highlights!
Lastly, if you like to experiment with salt blooms - I was unable to get a good effect, so you may want to stick with regular watercolours if you enjoy that.
I think for the price point, these are good quality and satisfying pencils. Whether you're an established artist or a beginner, I think it's a nice set.

Watercolor pencils overcome many of these problems, and Derwent makes some of the best watercolor pencils around. Naturally, brushes and water are still involved in the process, but the are put off until later in the proceedings. Now, the user can have precise control over where and how much color is applied. Indeed, the user has the option of applying no water at all, using these as colored pencils for portions of the work. Or the user can use them directly with the brush, treating the pencil as a watercolor "pot." All of this flexibility makes this a marvelous medium to work with.
For those coming over from colored pencil, these pencils do not have a rich, buttery feel one gets from Prismacolor. Instead, they are a bit on the chalky side and throw off considerably more dust than their non-watercolor cousins. Still, used dry, the color intensity is comparable to Derwent's Studio line, meaning they are perfectly functional as colored pencils.
They shine with the application of water--producing intense, translucent color. They can be used to produce a pure watercolor effect or as part of layering process along with regular colored pencils to produce something more like an oil painting. Used this way, the watercolor pencils play the role of providing base layers, which are then hydrated up to the point where finishing layers and burnishing are applied using conventional colored pencils. Gary Greene, a prominent colored pencil author, is a fan of this technique.
These pencils are also a great companion with conventional watercolors as well. One technique I use is to rely on the watercolors for washes over large areas where control is not an issue and the premium is on smooth layering or gradation. I then turn to the watercolor pencils for more detailed areas where precise control is at a premium. The result are watercolor works vastly better than anything I could produce with paints alone.
By way of (unfair) comparison, I've also used Faber-Castell's scholar line of watercolor pencils. The Derwents produced much more saturated color and fewer visible particles of pigment in a wash. The comparison is unfair because this is Derwent's artist line. On the other hand, it is vastly cheaper than Faber's artist line for the same product.
