I ordered the landscape set last year and was impatient to get my hands on more colours as soon as the loose stock became available. These truly are amazing pencils with thick rich colour that washes out perfectly. I have been using them dry in a black sketchbook and using the white as a base for the colours which really makes them pop out from the page and positively glow with light.

A very good product and easy to use once I realised how strong the colour and how easily it dilutes
Could the numbers on the pencils be included in the description for the single pencils as there isn't a colour name on them . Just to make ordering different colours easier. Felicity Cafferata (Congleton, United Kingdom) on 19 Nov 2013
These are the best watercolour pencils I've used.
Rich pigment which dissolves easily and leaves no trace of the pencil line.
Very good range of colours too. Jane Slattery (King's Lynn, United Kingdom) on 30 Jan 2014
