    Inconsistent application results. Poor quality contol.
    I like the colors, wish there were more. But quality control is absurd. The font/print on pencils is a mess, I lost a 1/4 of a pencil immediately due to sharpening a non-centered pencil. I haven't even used all of them extensively so I'm sure I'll lose more. And it's weird, when you activate the colors with water, some of the colors stay visible and vibrant, while others just seem to wash away no matter if you change the amount of water used. Also some of the pencils just look ugly. They have green splotches which seem to be from the wood? Not sure. But I think it's safe to say no one lost any sleep worrying about how these pencils presented.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Colors, Soft Clean Laydown, Use Wet or Dry
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
    I am a huge fan of the Prismacolor Premier soft core colored pencils, lettering pens, and Magic Rub erasers, as they are very high quality, so I thought it would be fun to try the watercolor pencils. And, of course, they did not disappoint. They are very pleasant to use. I like that the barrels are natural wood color, so that they are easily distinguishable from my soft-core pencils, and the pigment colors are gorgeous. The pencils come pre-sharpened in a handy tin.

    I really like the way they lay down the color on the paper - I don't have to press hard to get good color, and coloring over the same spot multiple times deepens the hue. I tried a few different methods with these pencils, to see how they hold up to my hobbies. They are easy to use wet or dry. I tried several scenarios - dry paper with dry pencil, wet paper with dry pencil, wet paper with wet pencil, dry paper with wet pencil. They all worked well and have different effects. I found using a good paintbrush helps also. All in all, it's a great set with the premium quality I've come to expect from Prismacolor products. If you're looking for a set of great watercolor pencils, look no further - these are the ones.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great colors!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017
    Comes in a nice metal tin, with plastic trays to hold the already sharpened pencils. The size of the 36 pack is nice and covers quite a spectrum of colors. Plus, you can mix the colors pretty easy for whatever other colors you need.

    I made a swatch chart for myself. The colors are very vivid and smooth (with the exception of indigo blue). I have several brands of watercolor pencils, and these are my favorite selection of colors. The colors are Black, Cool Grey 50%, french grey 20%, white, mulberry, lilac, violet, violet blue, non-photo blue, true blue, peacock blue, ultramarine blue, copenhagen, indigo blue, dark green, olive green, grass green, parrot green, true green, spring green, canary yellow, sunburst yellow, goldenrod, spanish orange, orange, poppy red, crimson red, carmine red, pink, blush pink, light peach, cream, terra cotta, sienna brown, dark umber, and dark brown.

    My only issue with these pencils are the wood labels. Since all the wood sticks are the same, its hard to tell which is which from first glance, and you have to look at the point or the label.
