Crayola Watercolor Colored Pencils (24ct), Watercolor Paint Alternative, Watercolor Pencil Set for Kids, Art Supplies, Gift for Kids, 3+

Attempting to entertain my two little nieces, I told them I had magic colored pencils, so I told them to draw a picture with them and then I gave them a little water and some paint brushes and they couldn't believe how their pictures changed. Lots of colors to choose from - easy to draw with - good strong pencils - they LOVED them!!! It was fun for this Auntie to see them have so much fun. Thank You

Perfect for older kids, teens or adults who love the combined effects achieved with colored pencils that can be blended for a water color effect. Good for intricate and fine artwork or any artwork where softer and blended shading looks best! Good assortment of colors.

I love these water color pencils. I brought these to get a watercolor look when journaling and using adult coloring books. You get great quality for a reasonable price. I use them by coloring first then going over them with water using a paintbrush. The colors are beautiful and look great!

Works great.

I don’t find them as blendable on watercolor paper as I thought they would be.

Super product!

I'm not an artist, I just want to level up my coloring, so I didn't need/want to buy an expensive set.One thing that I liked was that there's a peach included as well as a white and two greys. I'm not used to being able to get peach in a cheap set of coloring utensils.What I noticed was that blending between two similar colors worked really well. I got different results depending on whether I started with the lighter or darker color. I almost always dipped the pencil in water first.Getting into tiny areas was difficult and sometimes the water ran into another color. It's probably the same for regular watercolor painting?The smallest amount of water makes the colors DARK. The green beads in my pic were colored with the same green. The darker ones were colored with a wet pencil. The lighter ones were colored with a dry pencil and then gone over lightly with a wet white pencil.There's no pink so I tried to make one with a lighter purple and white. No dice. Mixing with white didn't work out for me at all. There's the spots where I tried to make pink or highlight the gemstones, and then there's the tragedy that happened with the blue moon on the left. The regular blue was really dark with water. The lighter blue was really saturated and still kinda dark for what I was trying to do so I tried to add white but it didn't blend well, it faded the black outline of the picture, and it made a waxy puddle that was hard to work with. After I took this picture I went over the lines with a pencil which helped some.Blending with the greys to get a darker color, (even using the lighter grey) make the color way too dark. I think that's just the general theme here. It doesn't take much to get "too dark." It's probably easier to work with bigger pictures that don't have such tiny details. You'd have more area to blend.Overall I really like these. I just need to get used to using them. They're super vibrant and blend pretty nicely if you use a light touch and know what you're doing. That's all I was looking for, just a bit better than crayons or colored pencils, but not crazy dark like markers tend to be in coloring books.

These were a great purchase and have provided lots of fun and variety for arts and crafts. Watercolors with much less mess than traditional art supplies
