I bought the Winsor & Newton Studio Collection Artist Pencils with big dreams of creating breathtaking sketches and maybe even accidentally stumbling into a career as the next Van Gogh (minus the ear situation). What I didn’t expect was a journey of artistic discovery, personal growth, and several accidental pencil-related stabbings.First, let’s talk about the pencils themselves: they’re sleek, perfectly balanced, and come in a range of shades so refined you’ll find yourself whispering “Graphite is life” at 2 a.m. The moment I held one, I felt like a serious artist—even though the last thing I drew was a stick figure dog that looked like a mutant potato.Inspired, I started sketching: first a leaf, then a tree, and then… my destiny. Okay, maybe just a bowl of fruit. But the pencils make shading so smooth and satisfying that even my uneven apple looked deliberate, like it came from a fancy art exhibit titled “Imperfect Perfection.”The best part? These pencils make mistakes look good. Smudges? Artful texture. A line where it shouldn’t be? Spontaneous brilliance. One of the pencils broke when I dropped it, but I pretended it was a metaphor for the fragility of creative ambition.By the time I finished my first “masterpiece,” I wasn’t just an amateur artist—I was a full-on creator, dramatically blowing eraser dust off my page like I’d just solved world hunger in pencil form. Sure, I’m still not quitting my day job, but this set made me believe in the power of good tools and questionable talent.Whether you’re sketching, doodling, or just using them to look artsy in a café, these pencils are an inspiration. Warning: you may find yourself quoting Bob Ross and calling your cat “a happy little accident.” Highly recommend. ✏️🎨

I chose that set because it had everything I needed. It came with an eraser, a sharpener and different pencil to draw. It was a great deal for me.I used a couple of times and it was great. I liked the quality and the different pencils

I am beginning in colored pencils, so I cannot say whether these are artist quality or not. I suspect not. But I love the way they color, very smoothly and soft feeling. Much less expensive than Prismacolor or equal and completely adequate for non professionals, I believe. I would definitely recommend them for the average person using a coloring book, beginning in colored pencil work, or for kids.

I have other water color pencils but I wanted to try these since I love Winsor and Newton watercolors and have used those for 30 years. Both Cotman and Artists paint. They are very nice! I wish they had lightfastness ratings but I understand those are coming. Meanwhile I have put them up in my window to test. See results below. They work beautifully if you do not mind this issue.and this is as compared to Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle and Albrecht Durer. The pencil is thinner to hold than either of those but feels like a quality product in the hand. They have a sheerness that mimics watercolor from a tube or pan (they are not exactly the same, which is impossible), while still having very good color payout. They melt very well on cold pressed water color paper and they flow.The price on Amazon is very good. Otherwise I only see them at MIchael's where they are a bit expensive even with coupon. I wish they were available open stock. I love the tin, but TBH I don't love the plastic insets which hold the pencil and are already looking fragile. But the pencils themselves seem strong.There is a good color selection in the 24 set. There is just one grey, but you can apply the black lightly for another.UPDATE: It's been one month since I bought them and started a lightfastness test in my not very sunny (winter) window. The pinks and the plum have noticeably faded. I will update in a month and say whether or not this gets worse. The other colors are fine so far though.2nd UPDATE: Most of the pinks, peaches and purples have vanished or changed so much they aren't recognizable. The red is fading. It is true that these colors are the least lightfast in most sets, but its not a plus for these pencils. My prismacolor watercolor pencils do much better in this regard (though they have sharpening problems).I'm taking off a star because of this. If you are going to display your art, don't use this brand but they will be a nice choice for coloring books or journalling.3rd UPDATE: this is the last report I will make on my window test, because my point is made, these are not lightfast. However, I did want to clarify something. Interestingly enough it's only when they are used as watercolors that the lightfastness is bad. Used a a dry pencil, only the purple changes color (to a blue).

These watercolor pencils are a bargain at this price point. Please note that you will have to use them with a bit of pressure as the initial impact is quite light. I think higher price points might have better pigment with which to use and get the full quality of the pencil. If you search on Google how to use water color pencils, you'll see a warning about being careful how you sharpen them; that they can easily break because of their soft core. I've taken pictures of what I colored before wetting them - there is a nice vividness; however, it's best to use on stiffer paper. This was a good purchase.

Would have liked a shader brush provided. It would have been absolutely perfect.
