Product review (5 stars): Lots of colors, use for dry or wet coloring
The color palette in this set is excellent! All colors are represented in several different shades from dark to light. In addition, the artist can vary the shade and achieve the exact desired effect by use of a white pencil, which is often only found in larger sets. The pencils can be used either dry or wet - there is a water brush pen to use for the watercolor effect. Some instructions on how best to use this brush pen would have been helpful, but I found that just dipping it in water worked very well. It has a fine point that allows precise color application. The pencils fit very well in the sturdy tin so don't roll around, minimizing breakage when stored. Overall, this is a good quality set and a good value.
