Caran d'AcheMuseum Aquarelle Marine Pencils - Assorted Colours (Pack of 20)

I have the supracolor and the prismalo and they are really good quality but when I purchased these museum aquarelle watercolour pencils I was amazed at the quality and the difference from the supracolor & prismalo . You add water and it’s just like watercolour, the pigments flow and well they are most definitely the watercolour version of luminance , top of the range and beautiful colour pallet as well . I purchased this set of 20 marine at an amazing price and I almost cancelled my order, luckily for me it was too late to cancel because they were almost ready for dispatch. I’m glad I have them and they add beautifully to my Art supply’s , I tend to use mix media with my Art and one of my most used brands that I use a lot is caran dache . Yes can highly recommend these watercolour pencils for quality, pigments , beautiful colours and vibrancy .

I use it for realistic drawing. Packaged really well, lovely to use

I bought these to complete my set. I absolutely love Caran D’Ache products, I am most grateful for their superb eye to detail to make sure that we receive their pencils in good condition as this seller doesn’t. My pencils were not in bubble wrap, box or anything just a sticker slapped on the pencil box and sent. I understand about excess plastic and cardboard but when paying top dollar for 20 pencils I do expect some protection.

They feel like a hard oil pencil in comparison to other watercolours I own, which is much better, lay down smooth with no dust, even pigment coverage where you can be accurate or cover large areas easily. Wetted they can pop like intense, better even, or pull the pigment about to feel like you're working with watercolour paints or ink and water.Quite an amazing pencil in every respect, definitely worth the price point.Each box of 20 provides a workable palette.

These are the best watercolour pencils available, and the colour selection in this set is great. However I am gobsmacked by the way Amazon has delivered them. There was no protective packaging at all, not even a simple brown envelope - an unwrapped box of crayons was just thrown through my letter box to smash onto the floor. As any artist knows, the leads in pencils like these are highly breakable, and they should have been protected by layers of bubble wrap or at the least a padded envelope. The leads will very likely have been broken in multiple places by this treatment. Of course I won’t find out until later on, as I sharpen the pencils and move further up the leads and by then I won’t be able to get a refund. The beautiful box (which is not an outer box to go in the bin once opened, but the actual container the pencils live in) was broken at the corners too which is so terribly disappointing. Honestly, Amazon packaging decisions baffle me - tiny plastic items that only cost pennies arrive in enormous unnecessary boxes, and then a highly expensive, highly fragile item such as this arrives with no packaging at all! Won’t be buying precious art supplies from Amazon again. Sadly I have two boxes of Caran D’Ache pastels on order already, am just praying they don’t suffer the same treatment…

As with the "Landscape" set, the colours are rich and full of pigment. I did decide to get a few extra colours - a gold yellow and a violet. It is a bit difficult to understand why they divide the sets as they do - I certainly don't limit my work by "landscapes" and "marine" - what about flowers, plants, trees and people?

Museum watercolour pencils, have some fabor castell ones and some supra colour of caran de ashe. The museum ones take it to a whole new level. Ordered the marine set, but have now ordered the landscape ones. Derwent intense are good, but these sharpen easier. Pleased with the product. Expensive but worth it. The white makes a good blender when used dry. Should have bitten the bullet and bought the 72 set, with hindsight, and lived off bread and water.

These Caran D'Ache watercolor pencils provide rich color and controlled application that can also be adapted to watery washes. The pencils are easy to transport for outdoor painting and offer consistently high quality light-fast pigment. They're fun to use in a range of applications, even in under-paintings for encaustic, acrylic or oil glazes.

Pensei muito a aguardei chegar o papel próprio de aquele lá de algodão . Eu era fan da carandache. Pesquise muito muito até escolher esse , que eh o mais caro ,a linha profissional . Uma grande decepção . Estou sem entender pq eu tinha um outro cara saque q não era profissional e eu adorava . Esse eh seco . Muito ruim as cores quando passo o pincel com água fica borrado , fica a listra por baixo e borrado por cima . Me pergunto até mesmo se esse eh um produto original . Caso an Amazon queira o produto para fins de fiscalização ou aceite a devolução fora do prazo , acharei ótimo . Realmente demorei pra fazer essa avaliação pq esperei chegar o papel certo pra não julgar errado nem prejudicar nenhum produto , mas merece e-mail até o o próprio fabricante . Péssimo . Acabou com toda imagem e encanto q eu tinha pela marca .

They really seem to have a bit more pigment than most watercolor pencils (I've tried them all). I love Durer's, but if you are looking for the pencil lines to disappear for a true watercolor effect, these are the best. I only wish they were cheaper. I bought two twenty packs as a treat to supplement my absurd pencils collection (landscape and marine)... And the colorfastness is unmatched. If I were in a different income bracket, these would be my go-to. If you have money to blow, buy these. I also have a set of older Sakura pencils that also dissolve really well. I haven't used their latest ones. I'd rate the Durer third for dissolving, but they are pigment rich and also work great dry (you can even layer some), whereas these other ones don't... All the pencils have their own personalities. You can buy open stock to test drive them, but they are around five each... LOVE THESE!

des crayons de très bonne qualitèdommage que le coffret soit endommagé, en effet l'article n'était pas emballé dans un carton mais juste sous blister et il a souffert pendant le transport, pour le prix c'est bien dommage et c'est ce qui me déçoit le plus

Sie sind super pigmentiert und gut lichtbeständig aber sind verschieden hart

Great pencils
