I love my Prismacolors, but I also like to try all the new pencils that come out. The Supracolors aren't new, but they were new to me, and they offered me another choice, as well as colors not available in the Prismacolor line. I LOVE the Caran D'Ache products. These pencils lay down beautifully, can be used with either a soft 1 or 2 touch as well as a firmer touch, and they layer very nicely. The leads don't seem to break in the barrels as easily as some others I've tried. The color holds well, but can be picked up with tape, sticky tack, art eraser, as well as an electric eraser. All in all if you're buying new, looking for another choice in addition to your current pencils, or just want to shake things up a little, Caran D'Ache is a good choice in pencils.

The colors are pure, rich and mix well; you can pick them up easily with a clean eraser (gum or rubber). For more traditional looking watercolor paintings, these are also absolutely great. Very good lightfastness as well. I love them. I won't use any other colored pencils at all ever! Oh yeah --they are fun to use.

I love having the entire set of colors. the pencils are creamy and easy to use. I mostly use them dry, but love that I can intensify the color by dipping the point in water. these are cremier and more superior in color intensity than other brands.

Honest reviews on Caran D'Ache Supracolor II Complete Set of All 120 Colors

...and you'll be very happy with the purchase. I bought this 120 set after owning a set of 12 thats lasted for years. The pencil are incredibly sturdy and they sharpen cleanly. have yet to find watercolor pencils that can compare to Caran D' Ache's quality. The pigment is very strong especially when water is applied. There is more than one way to combine water with these pencils and you'll even get a short guide on different ways you can add water to your artwork. I gave away the first set I owed and the new owner of the set is amazed how easily these pencils glide. The colors aren't muddy or grainy when wet. You can use a portable watercolor brush, a regular brush dipped in water or dip the pencil in water before applying it to a page. Sometimes I don't even use water in my artwork because the color is strong enough to pop off the page without it. I am very happy with my purchase and shipping was very quick. I encourage everyone to use the watercolor pencils.

Great choice of colors and soft application. Similar to painting with watercolor paint. Really well worth the expense wish I'd had these before I'd bought other brands. Caran D'Arche products are great and they are safe for children to use.
