5.0 out of 5 stars This is the item I've been looking for!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2023
I've tried many sets of watercolors. Pans, tubes, and pens. None of them have pleased me as this set of watercolor pencils has. The first and most important thing to me is the lightfastness. I always do a Fade Test, as you can see in the photo. Two identical grids, with pure color and a wash version of that color. The Control panel stays indoors, completely out of any light. The Fade Test panel I put outside in the direct sunlight for a minimum of five days. This is enough time for UV light to show its effects.
Of the other brands and sets I've tried, only the more expensive pans (Rubens) and tubes (Sennelier) have mostly held up. Pre-filled watercolor pens (Chromatek, Ohuhu) are about useless for any kind of permanent or archival work. They faded within a day.
But these watercolor pencils, WOW! I finished the Fade Test and there is no noticeable difference. It's a much easier medium for me to use as I work in fine detail sometimes, and these sharpen up well. Adding water makes a beautiful, even wash. I can't wait to get started on many of the projects I've had on the back burner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best watercolor pencils for adults and kids!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022
Hi! We love these pencils! They hold a thick 3.8 mm lead and can be identified by the entire coating of the pencil + are labeled with the color name in German & English and color number. Made in Germany, fully water-soluble, easy to blend when wet, permanent when dry, highly pigmented. I bought them for my almost 5yo who is very much into coloring and she uses them on sketch paper and her coloring books. I believe it’s easier to learn how to blend with good quality pencils rather then with something what doesn’t want to blend and it’s easier to learn good technique with good pencils and to be focus on learning rather than fighting the pencils. The only color she is missing is purple, but a guess it’s a good reason to learn how to mix red+blue. I hope this review was helpful. Happy watercoloring!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Travel Journal Art - Worth the Expense for Artists of All Stages
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016
These watercolor pencils have bright pigments that are totally water soluble. I would recommend these for the beginner and advanced artist because the colors are so brilliant, mixable into neutrals and pastels, and actually handle like watercolors once wet. The fine point is great for detail and mixed media work, and several layers will allow you to decide how much to dilute and spread the pigment. A small set of these is more dynamic than a large set of lesser watercolor pencils, and you can put your finished work behind glass and be assured it will last. You just can't get the same colors with other products.

I also use these for drawing a sketch before applying liquid watercolors. Since they completely dissolve, your sketch doesn't have to be visible in the final product. Dipping the watercolor pencil in water allows you to put down hard lines which are less able to dissolve - great for textures. My students love them as a transition from drawing to painting.

Pair with a decent sketchbook, like [[ASIN:B0027A7AKE Bee Paper Super Deluxe Sketch Pad, 11-Inch by 14-Inch]] or [[ASIN:B005KMG1IS Stillman & Birn Epsilon Series Sketchbooks 6 in. x 8 in. wire bound 50 sheets]] and a [[ASIN:B00AX31TZO Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brush Assorted Tips, Pack of 3 (FRHBFMBP3)]] set and you've got a wonderful way to create colored drawings and small paintings on site without a mess. Worth the expense.

Reviewed in India on August 14, 2021
I had the much much cheaper Faber Castell watercolour pencils, but didn't really like them as they didn't completely dissolve on application of water and left stroke stains. These, Albrecht Durer pencils are just too good, and unlike their cheaper cousins, they are so amazing. Very high pigmentation, and beautifully dissolves at the touch of a wet brush! Colours are highly blendable and you can create amazing effects with combination of dry on wet and wet on dry techniques. Totally worth the money. The pencils are also unique in having high lightfastness, and lightfastness standards are mentioned for each shade. Also unlike other similar pencils the leads are strong for dry work and don't break, while still remaining butter smooth in their application. The 24 shades one is the enough to create a plethora of shades. If you are graduating from basic watercolour tubes, this is the next best step. Just go for it!
