Can watercolor pencils be used as ordinary coloring pencils? They are fine to use dry just as you would with coloring pencils. They are soft and blend and layer easily. I’m doing pyrography, are these pencils suitable for applying color and can they be used directly onto canvas? Yes - they are fine to use with pyrography and for using directly onto canvas. With regards to the selection of pencils, is there any repetition across the 120 color set? Though some colors sit closely together in spectrum, each color is unique throughout the 120 watercolor pencil set. Do they feel soft in use or is there a ‘grittiness’? Soft and blendable, these watercolor pencils are smooth in application. What paper is best for using with these pencils? As well as watercolor paper, high texture cartridge paper works very well. Other mediums such as acrylics, inks, pencils and watercolor paints can be combined also without the surface breaking down. 120 WATERCOLOR PENCILS STRONG PRESENTATION TIN EASY-LIFT PENCIL TRAYS POP-UP PENCIL SELECTION Simply press the pencil end to lift it from the tray and you're ready to layer, blend and detail. VIBRANT WATERCOLORS Experiment with effects like dry-on-wet paper and wet-on-dry paper, blending and gradation. The intense pigments dissolve in water - on the brush or the paper – so your pencil strokes melt and blend beautifully to create amazing effects… your drawing magically morphs into a painting. Arranged in vibrant color families with break-resistant leads which hold their point, they can be used as regular colored pencils when used dry to achieve detailed and delicate results difficult to achieve with brushes. Having the best of both worlds – drawing and painting – gives you scope to experiment with effects like dry-on-wet paper, wet-on-dry paper and with techniques like layering, blending and gradation.

The Castle Art Supplies 120 Watercolor Pencils Set has proven to be a delightful addition to my artistic toolkit, combining vibrant pigments, versatility, and thoughtful organization. The range of colors provided in this set is impressive, offering a diverse palette that caters to the nuances of various artistic projects. The vibrancy of the pigments translates well from pencil to paper, allowing for rich and expressive artwork. Whether I'm working on detailed illustrations or vibrant watercolor paintings, these pencils deliver consistent and stunning results. The unique feature of being able to both draw and paint with the same pencil is a game-changer. The transition from pencil strokes to watercolor effects is smooth and allows for a seamless blending of colors. This dual functionality adds a layer of versatility that is especially appreciated in projects where precision and fluidity are both essential. The presentation tin is more than just a storage solution; it's a testament to the set's commitment to organization and protection. The pencils are neatly arranged, making it easy to locate specific colors quickly. The tin itself is durable, providing a secure home for the pencils and ensuring their longevity. As an adult artist and professional, I find that the Castle Art Supplies Watercolor Pencils meet the demands of both detailed work and expressive painting. The color selection, quality of pigments, and innovative design make this set a valuable asset for artists at all levels. In conclusion, the Castle Art Supplies 120 Watercolor Pencils Set stands out as a high-quality and versatile option for artists who appreciate a wide spectrum of colors and the convenience of drawing and painting in one.

  • Excellent purchase
Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these watercolor pencils and the packaging. The tin has a hinged lid which conveniently holds your swatch sheet if you wish. The three trays are easily accessible using the elastic cord handles. The pigment cores do not break and are easily blendable with water. A few left some drawing lines, I didn’t scrub them with my brush, but that ability to leave texture can be an asset. The price was MUCH less than other brands. I am very pleased with this purchased. Tin arrived quickly and in perfect condition. ... show more

  • Castle Arts Is A Class Act, As Always.
The tin & pencils arrived undamaged & in great shape. I was a little concerned, because they arrived in a large paper bag with no packing materials. When tested, some pencils seem more water-soluble than others. A few were scratchy, leaving little pieces behind on the paper, but not very many. When activated with water, the colors blend nice. I use other colored pencil sets, but I keep coming back to these. I use different sets for different things, but I still like these best of all my sets. The pencils are not in numerical order, & the color swatch sheet is in no particular order either. So to save time trying to hunt down pencils, I took them all out of the trays, lined them up numerically, then put them back in the trays in numerical order. Now I can find things when I want them & put them back in their spot when I'm finished. Some complain that the pencils are hard to get out of the trays, but I just press down on the bottom end to flip a pencil up, then grab the top end with the other hand. It's easy. When I purchased it, I didn't realize this set also comes in a zippered case with a few paper accessories. I would have preferred a zip case to thin plastic trays, though the finger straps do help much to lift these out of the tin. My one suggestion for Castle Arts is to offer empty zip cases for sale separately. Castle Arts' cases are of a better quality than the other zip cases for sale out there & they have their pencils running in the right direction to preserve the integrity of the cores. ... show more

  • Great quality and Value!
I rarely write reviews, but I was so pleased and impressed with this purchase that I felt compelled to leave this review. These watercolor pencils are excellent and a terrific value! First, vibrant color, well-marked color names and numbers on the pencils; very nice hinged tin with the color names and numbers on the inside of the tin lid, beautiful instruction booklets, a swatch template, and more. It was well packaged, and there was no damage upon arrival. Tonight, I'll dive in and give them a try. So pleased! Kudos to Castle! ... show more

  • Excellent and Comprehensive Set of Watercolor Pencils
This is a very nice set of watercolor pencils. There is a huge variety of colors organized by range into removable trays with light rope handles set into a metal storage tin with a hinged lid. The pencils themselves have a good median density for fine work and the color blends well with a wet brush once it's on the page. ... show more

  • Gorgeous
Beautiful colors. Very nice especially for the price. For some the pencils dry are more vibrant than after water is added so it makes me curious about their regular colored pencils. I may try those next.
