Admittedly, I am not an artist, so this is a generic review as opposed to an expert review. I like these a lot, purchased them for my grandchildren and use them myself often.

I got them from Michael's (craft store), and while standing in the aisle, looked up reviews of the different watercolor crayon products offered. Some of them had terrible reviews, but these had a really good review (probably on the Amazon.com website). So I chose these.

All I can verify is that they work, and the way I actually prefer to use them is to dip the end of the crayon in water and then color/paint with it. It is easier than first coloring and then applying water with a wet paintbrush, or first painting the paper with a wet paintbrush and then coloring on the wet paper. Little kids cannot easily control the amount of water in their paintbrush, so water can pool on the paper and you can still have a mess, but if the tip is dipped in water, it just softens the paint and doesn't make a watery mess on the paper.

Now I want a larger set. Watercolor pencils are nice, too. They work better for coloring more intricate patterns.

They arrived in a timely manner. Packaging was great, nothing was damaged. I would order from this seller again. While these are my first set of watercolor crayons I can say I hit it out of the park. I know I don't have anything to compare these with but they are AWESOME! They are smooth and easy to work with. I use them to watercolor with brushes and rubber stamps! I'm beyond please. Such a great product and a bargain. Now, I think I will get the watercolor pencils for detailed work. These crayons are AWESOME I just can't say it enough.

I was looking for an easy way to carry watercolors in the field for quick coloring of sketches. These are ideal, as you can carry a water-filled brush with you to use while out, or just color your sketch, then add the weter when you arrive home. I find they work especially well over textures, such as plaster undercoat on card.
