These pencils are great. They sharpen easily, the colors are consistent throughout the pencil, and I like how well the pigment works with water.

I got the set of 24 Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils as a test. I just wanted to find out if it would be easier to draw a picture then wet it to look like a watercolor painting, rather than paint the whole thing. And while I found out that you can do it that way, it is not at all how I use the pencils now. Firstly, let me say that it is a really nice set of watercolor pencils. The pigment comes off the pencils nicely, and leaves a smooth line on the paper that can be blended easily. For that, I give the set high marks.Personally, what I don't like about them is that they seem to always leave a line no matter how much water you use to mix them. For that reason, I don't use them for any medium to large scale painting/drawing. How i use them now is to add that extra detail to my paintings. Need a little shadow? A little spot of extra color in a small spot? Want to get a feather just right? Sometimes its hard to do that detail work with a brush, but with these pencils its a snap.
I like the pencils, but if you are gonna do more than a little detail work, skip these and go onto real paint.
