Very good product. Excellent whether using dry or wet.... Remember that these pencils are all soft leads and require a good quality sharpener; either a Derwent pastel sharpener or a good quality manual large size sharpener. Do NOT use an electric or manual crank sharpener or it will just break the lead. Doesn't hold a very sharp point but holds a good point if you rotate the pencil whilst drawing. You need to draw and then wet the paper, don't use a wet brush and try to collect colour from the tip directly. Needs a bit of practice to master; not for a novice.

Derwent makes very interesting art supplies. These are graphite pencils- tinted, muted, beautiful- I wish I would have waited to get the 24 piece set!

Very subdued palette which is what I wanted. May not be ...right for everyone, but lovely colours once wet. Still getting to grips with them but impressed so far.

Subtle natural colors that come to life with just a s...mall amount of water. All Mark's disappear and blend

Perfect, soft granulation, nice muted shades. The only thing I would... like to see is a darker brown e.g. sepia, Vandyke brown or a raw umber.
