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
I can only repeat what others have said about them before. Probably the best watersoluble pencil out there. I have also used them dry on black paper and the results were brilliant, the covering power is enormous and the lead smooth and a joy to use Monika Sivalec (Stuttgart, Germany) on 15 Nov 2013
