## Description

Quality. Luxury. Expertise. Only the best. Faber-Castell is the world-leading manufacturer of top-quality, innovative art materials. For the ultimate in artists’ pencils, delight in the richly pigmented, prestigious Polychromos and Albrecht Dürer Watercolour ranges. For the best in artists’ pens, sample the smooth and colourful Pitt Pens and see why they have such a devoted fan base. The ingenious Creative Studio range is aimed at the student and hobbyist without sacrificing the quality that sets Faber-Castell apart. All supplemented by an extensive range of top-quality sketch, mixed media and watercolour pads for every art project.

Review: Remarkable - I fell in love with the 12 set of these when I saw how smoothly they blended with water while maintaining their vibrancy. I also created a mixing chart with the 12 that showed the beautiful blends these colors created. Then I looked at the lightfastness and was sold on getting the 60. The majority of the pigments have good to excellent lightfastness while, again, maintaining the rich color with very little pressure applied to the pencils on paper. Now I’ll be adding open stock additional pencils to my somewhat large collection. Faber-Castell has been a favorite brand of mine for years, and these don’t disappoint. Lovely, durable pencils that will no doubt last for a long time. Highly recommended!
Review: They are Albrecht Durer - what's NOT to love??!!??!! (Though maybe the review will help explain why). - They are Albrecht Durer - what's NOT to love?? Having owned several brands of watercolor pencils, I can say I don't even touch them since I received these. Why? 1. The pencils blend very well, especially on watercolor paper. 2. Control of of color result when blending is virtually flawless: a) no irregular pigmentation; b) no need to scrub work area to avoid watermarks; c) no product / color bloom when layering for effect (unless applying too much pressure and damaging tooth of paper) and; c) for smaller work areas, I even prefer them over tube / cake watercolor. 3. The pencils can be sharpened from beginning to end WITHOUT ANY LEAD BREAKAGE at all. 4. Nice tin keeps everything ordered and makes for nice storage when working other art projects. 5. Hexagonal shape prevents rolling when setting them aside for later use on your work. Especially helpful if your work area also includes brush holder, water glasses / jars, watercolor palette, painting cloths and such with each project. 7. Superb for dry-on-wet highlighting and detailing on watercolor work. 8. Every color is also available for purchase as an individual pencil should any need to be replaced. I'm sure there are a lot more reasons why I'll love these as I use them but I've shared the most noticeable thus far. As for whether or not the purchase is right for you, some other things to keep in mind: 1. These are professional artists' quality watercolor pencils and the price reflects that. 2. Though they may be used on adult coloring books, there are many types and brands of pencils more suited for the pages. However, if the objective is to activate the color for a watercolor look, these are a great choice. I use them in my coloring book so I may practice watercolor techniques.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic watercolor pencils!!
*by C***R on October 28, 2025*

Absolutely, outstanding!! The colors are the most vibrant of any watercolor pencils that I've used and the pigment coverage is also the best. When I use the wet brush on the lead method, it's almost as if I were using paint itself. I now wish that I had ordered the entire set.
