Really love these colored pencils. Great purchase and great service

very creamy and blend and burnish nicely. these are perfect working on animal fur

Rich pigment

I have only color swatches them, they Are very vibrant smooth And I cant wait to try them

I have only ever used Derwents inktense pencils, blocks, and watercolor pencils, so when I saw these lovely pencils in greys, neutrals, and browns, I purchased them. I purchased these pencils for a series of drawings of small, local wildlife, including squirrels, pigeons, and raccoons. I think that they will work out wonderfully. The colors are basically greys and browns, in subtle and beautiful, soft shades. The blue and green color names are really descriptors for different grey shades. The lighter shades seem to be very opaque and the pencils seem very buttery. I am really looking forward to using these although I suspect I will be doing a great deal of sharpening. With some added vivid/deeper colors, these pencils would be wonderful for Northern landscapes or seascapes. Great product, Derwent!

Los lápices llegaron como si hubiesen sido usados y devueltos por alguien más, no aguantaban que se les afilara, se quebraban al punto que dos de ellos quedaron a la mitad.

Wonderful for wildlife and botanical art..subtle colors that are hard to find. Chinese white is wonderful..

I just love the muted tones in this line and how all the colors seem to go together so nicely. I do mostly nature and botanical drawing and painting. These colors are fun to work with and just seem to give a more professional look. I initially bought the 12 pack and was so pleased I ordered this to have the complete set. The pencils feel really good too and sharpen nicely. They are a little soft to get/keep a really sharp point but I am using another pencil for very fine lines.

Although I have not purchased this specific set, as a photographic artist for over 30 years my colored pencil brand of choice was Derwent. Their colors blend well together and are extremely stable and colorfast. I never had any problem with the color changing even when clear protective sprays and lacquers were used overtop of them for protection of the photograph or artwork.

Coverage great, color lay down fast. Not a great variety of colors but great for nature work.
