KINGART™ Pro Watercolor Pencils, Tin Case, Set of 12 Unique Colors

This set of pencils offers bright colors, easy to use, and a great price. If you are looking for a small colored pencils set that will really be fun to use, these are perfect. Highly recommended.

So I'm not an artist in terms of drawing and painting. I want to be. I've had other KingArtCo products. I have found these pencils to be a lot of fun. I can't speak to how they work as I have nothing to compare them to. But I like the very simple, straightforward instructions on the case. Speaking of the case, it's a great tin because you can easily transport these pencils. I'm still playing with them but can say that the colors are really deep for me.

I really like the tin, nice way to hold the pencils and keep them organized (and much nicer than a cardboard box). The pencils themselves are kind of a muted color pencil, but they can also be used with water to do a water color effect which is fun. We still prefer watercolor paints and trays, but these are a bit more accessible for kids and easier to do as well.

I like these twelve colors. If I were still a beginner with colored pencils, I would like them better than I do. But I now have some experience with a large set of Faber Castell pencils that have won my heart. These are fun for playing around. Not true artist's quality.

This watercolor-pencil set includes enough colors to provide a wide palette for your art projects. Like most inexpensive watercolors, those in this set are not particularly vibrant, but you can work with this if you have experience working with watercolors and know how to work with a subdued tonality. This set isn't a substitute for a brush-based watercolor set -- not that one is better than the other, but working with watercolor pencils is obviously different than working directly with brushes. All in all, this is a nice set and a great price.
