I like almost everything about this brush. I had researched it extensively, and I thought it would meet or exceed all of my expectations. I love the handle. The ferrule is fine. The belly, or the water-holding capacity is just what I expected. But I have never been able to get it to point like I see in the photos. If I could just get it to point, I would love this brush. But I can't get it to point, so I don't even like it. I can't use it without a point. Again today, I looked at the pix, and I continue to ask myself -why won't mine do that? I'm so disappointed.

Review of Gallery Glass 16405 Window Color Paint Set with Combing Tool

Gallery Glass 16405 Window Color Paint Set with Combing Tool
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

This is a good starter set and will give you the ability to try out the paint medium. You don't get a lot of paint, but once you have figured out how to use the paint and what colors you'd like to use for your project, you can buy bigger containers of the colors you need. I didn't have any trouble with bubbles as mentioned in another review. The instructions state to not shake the paint as it will cause bubbles. I believe over stirring may do the same. The paint is thicker than white glue and it may even be a colored glue. Test your colors on a scrap piece of glass as they dry much clearer than what you see in each bottle.

I used a product very similar to this years ago to give us some privacy on our sidelights on our front door. It was easy to do and lasted for many years without having to touch it up. We recently got a new front door and I was faced with the same dilemma--how do we get privacy without sacrificing the light. I decided I wanted to paint the sidelights again. I wasn't sure if the product that I used before even existed. I was happy to see something like it on Amazon. I was glad I kept the patterns from the kit I had before. This kit doesn't have any patterns at all. I think it is easy to use, but then again I've done it before. This kit really doesn't have any instructions with it. The leading is very difficult to do without looking unprofessional, so I ordered the Redi-Lead strip also available on Amazon. I'm very happy with my sidelights. They look great. Be patient, take your time and I think you'll be happy with your results too!

I Like to paint and thought this would be a fun thing to try, but right from the first step I found nothing but frustration. My hand still hurt form trying to control the leading. I was following a simple pattern and couldn't get the leading to run smoothly or in any kind of a straight line. The paint itself bubbles, but I'm assuming if I had more practice I would be able to avoid that somehow. I just think maybe I'm missing something.

Honest reviews on Gallery Glass 16405 Window Color Paint Set with Combing Tool

If you're into air pockets, running out of paint, or lack of instruction, this is for you. If you are thinking of painting an existing window in any way that resembles stained glass (with signature defined lines), this is not for you.

Running out of paint, OK I should have known.

Air pockets, I guess since I'm working vertically (but they happen literally every 2-3 seconds, so again, not for you if you have any shortness of patience).

Lack of instruction? The box says "For complete instructions see kits, patterns, and books."

Also, the 'combing tool' is a plastic stick that smears your paint around so that you end up using a wet, then dry, rag.

Honestly, if you're looking for a mess, it's in this package. Otherwise, I suggest buying sticky films with many attractive patterns.

PS: I love painting. And this was extremely frustrating.

I love this product! I have successfully used this medium for many years. I have had many compliments on my "stained" glass in my home and have used this at the library where I work at now. I have used it as a classroom project with middle schoolers and they loved the results and so did their parents! Easy to clean up after and easy to use.

So many techniques and colors and reusable too! I did one painted "sticker" of my husband's favorite tractor for our kitchen window and when we moved I just peeled it off the window and then re-applied to our new kitchen window. Worked great! You cannot shake the paint, and you do need to understand how to use a paintbrush but if you can master those two skills the sky is the limit!

Plus there are molds available that you can pour the paint into to create great looking beveled edged stickers and so much more.

Great stuff I just wish our local craft store still carried this so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping!

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.

I'd never used these or even heard of them before, but I wanted to start building a supply of stamps.

I got a package of multiple stamps that easily attach & come off these for the cost of one wooden stamp, so I can't complain!

I tried using my wife's jumbo lipstick sharpener, however, it does not work very well. Melissa and Doug should include one with the pencils.

These pencils are sturdy and easy for my kids to hold. Our set didn't include a vinyl case but more importantly how do you sharpen them? They are triangular and don't fit into our sharpener.

Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Jumbo Triangular Colored Pencils (Set of 24)

We have six children, and colored pencils are our preferred coloring tool. They are less easily damaged by chewing than markers or crayons, and you can't color on yourself like with markers. Also the colors are more sophisticated. So, we have tried quite a few jumbo colored pencils for our preschoolers and toddlers. This set by Melissa & Doug is easily my favorite, and here's why:

* Triangular shape. The corners are nicely rounded so it's comfortable to grip. But, the triangular shape makes for easier gripping and keeps the pencils from rolling away.

* Long length. Many jumbo colored pencils are shorter than standard colored pencils; these are not, which means more use.

* Many vibrant colors. Gorgeous, vivid colors are better than some we've tried, and I've never seen jumbo colored pencils in a set bigger than 8 or 12.

The only thing I would change is that these pencils do not have the color names written on them. That would be helpful sometimes in distinguishing between similarly colored pencils. There are two brown ones that have an almost identical exterior, and it would be easy to pick the wrong one when trying to match previous drawing. However, these pencils are still good enough to warrant a 5-star rating, and I recommend them to any parent of preschoolers or toddlers.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Jumbo Triangular Colored Pencils (Set of 24)

I'm writing this review, first one ever, to say WTH... no sharpener... so within 5 minutes of her flattening out the pink one... this set became unusable to us...as she could just start coloring and then never be able to finish whatever she was working due to the lack of a sharpener. I love most Melissa and Doug products but this is a huge FAIL. In searching online for the only available German Kum Special Diameter sharpener for triangular pencils, which I'm gonna have to order, I see that most other triangular color pencil sellers include the sharpener...go for them in spite of your love for Melissa and Doug and buy their other products but not these pencils. The triangular sharpener requires me to now spend the same amount for the item to sharpen them and have it shipped, not an Amazon Prime item, and since I just gave these as a gift to a friends kid also, I'm gonna have to buy two so they aren't in the same boat.Kum Special Diameter Wooden Pencil Sharpener for Triangular & Hexagonal Body Pencils 2 Hole 8 10 mm Black

I got these pencils before a plane ride with my child and I was interested in the NO-ROLL feature, so that we don't loose them in the plane under the seats. I am dissapointed, the pencils are big, but almost round, and boy do they roll on the floor. These are useless to me for the purpose I bought them, otherwise they seem pretty enough, many colors and the kid loves to learn more color shades names.
