Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils Tin (Set of 36)

Colour quality is good and durable pencil quality. Very soft and easy to use product, absolutely helpful for design making particularly in smaller space. Blending quality is good but pencil use is better. Love this product.

I have been using these pencils extensively for the last few days and these are my observations:1. The colours are not as vivid as they are claimed to be. However when mixed with water, they are.2. Shades of red and blue are much stronger than greens and yellows.3. While blending one colour with another, it needs a very light hand.4. Blending is quite impossible when using dry pencil on wet paper.

I bought this set for my son who's 8 years old, drops thing like anything, but to my surprise this set of pencils can take a fall, without breaking the lead inside, which doesn't fall off when sharpening. Colour is rich and vibrant. Comes in nice tin box. But the delivery made it dented. Amazon should take care of packaging like bubble wraps. Otherwise loved it.

The colours are brittle and break easily...pencil is hard to shard...I am giving reviews after several months of using the product

Nice pigment. Very smooth. It mixes with water colour well creating beautiful effects. Go for it.

So... I got this derwent academy colour pencils(24shades). The packaging was well good. I must say if you are beginners & student still learning ...this product is very good for them... I m a Fashion designing student & still learning and from my view I liked this product....for kids also it is best... But if u r professional...i recommend u.. Don't buy. I think value for money is worth it,since it is not for professionals.. The colours are soft and bright enough ... And can blend easily... It also depends on which paper u r using....so I liked the product.

Good

I love Derwent products and so far they have never disappointed. But this set of colouring pencils feels like a left over or rejected remnant from what was meant for western markets. Some colours even have completely different outside colour than what it actually is. They dont blend well and when using water brush they dont spread the colour much. They dont really feel like proper water colour pencils.Box seems to be original, however the pencils are not adequate for Derwent brand.
