This was a gift for my precious husband. We live in the city and there are so many beautiful parks and boardwalks that I wanted him to have the ability to sit quietly on his lunch hour and sketch. This set has a nice array of colors, a sharpener and brush to blend the colors when he gets home. It is compact enough it fits in his backpack to be at his ready... Pair this with a smaller sketch pad and it's a great gift for the artistic...

I got these babies for cheap off of this site. The set has a tin, a brush, and a basic color selection. It would have been nice to have a beige color included, but since I have other watercolor pencil sets, it's not a big deal. The colors in this set, however, are beautiful, but unfortunately, I find the pencils a bit of a chore to sharpen and the leads are prone to breaking. That said, the tube watercolors from Royal Langnickel are pretty good, so if these pencils don't sound good to you, don't be afraid to try their tube watercolors.

I love the pencils. The tin which is part of why I bought the set came with some damage and dings. I don't know if the dings happened during shipping but I suspect they were dinged when packed. Good pencils though.

Honest reviews on Royal Small Tin Watercolor Pencil Art Set

I purchased this set in our local discount store for less than half of Amazon price. They are quite all right as regular pencils but horrible as watercolor pencils. The pigment barely dissolves and pencil strokes remain on the paper. This is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for". I actually got this set for my 6-year olds but I recently got interested in watercolor pencils and compared them to Prismacolor and Derwent WC pencils that I purchased for myself. They are a little more expensive but perform so much better as WC pencils. Royal @ Langnickel is just not worth my time.

I purchased these for a project I was working on. After I had sketched in the art I took out the brush and dipped it in water and brushed... and nothing happened. I used more water and got a *very* slight amount of pigment pull (the pencil strokes are clearly still visible). I headed to youtube to see if this was normal for watercolor pencils and saw that the videos there got substantial pigment pull (it looked like they were actually painting) with much less water needed.

My assignment looks like I used regular color pencils and dumped water on it. Not pleased at all.
