I love color and I have always enjoyed coloring. I recently got into water color painting and when it dawned on me that there were watercolor pencils it about blew my mind! A merging of all my favorite things! 

I made a video to show you how the colors inthis set look in three ways:

1. Color on dry paper with water added later
2. Color on dry paper alone
3. Color directly onto wet paper

Coloring on wet paper offers deep and rich pigment on most of the colors. A couple of colors weren't so smooth and luxurious feeling like the peach shade and lightest skin shade. Maybe with use, they will improve and maybe not. But the majority of the colors came out really nice. I like the versatility of this set, so many colors and ways to use them. You can watch some great tutorials for how to use water color pencils and layering the techniques for incredible results. (Check out thefrugalcrafter on Youtube, she is awesome and has "live" tutorials that you can paint along with!) This set is very affordable so it is a great place to start for all ages. 

The brush is okay, it shed some hairs right away, but it is nice it comes with a brush in case you don't have any. 

I'm eager to keep playing with these watercolor pencils and maybe even share some of my majorly amateur works (think kindergarten style) here on the blog!
