Completely blends, no more lines!
Takes away all evidence you've used watercolor pencils! Exactly as described. I do a lot of commission pet portraits and use WCpencils usually at the end for more details, such as fur (see photo). I also use them instead of graphite pencils for the initial drawing but it's frustrating with the lines not blending in completely... now, no more frustration Albrecht Duerer!!! If you're like I was (for years), tired of undissolved WCpencil lines... PLEASE, spare yourself of all the frustration and get these! PLEASE???!! And BEGINERS, I feel, if you're serious and know you need to paint or draw.. in my opinion go for everything professional. It might cost more, but you'll have a much better chance of being successful. Only problem with this box... as soon as you see how beautiful they are and work, you're going to want the 120 set! Hmm...maybe skip this step and just go straight to the 120???? Hmmmmm.Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄Happy Holidays 🤾🏻‍♀️ ❤️ALL12/06/23

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023
I am no professional whatsoever, probably the set is too professional for me, but as far as I have been able to experiment with them, I have enjoyed them very much. The colors are vibrant, and the intensity is quite easy to control. Also, works great for details.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful luxurious set!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017
This is a set of 48 Albercht Dürer watercolor pencils. The wood is lightweight and has a dark stain that feels really luxurious and way more expensive than it actually is. The included colors are all the colors in the 36 tin box plus 12 more. The sharpener is high quality and has replaceable blades, the white eraser woulds really well. I have taken this set to Starbucks multiple times and I find that is wonderful to travel with despite the large size.

Despite the size of Faber castell wooden box 13"inches by 7"inches with a height of 1" inch when closed it feels very light weight and is easy to travel with.
