Faber-Castell Watercolor Crayons with Brush, 15 Colors - Premium Quality Art Supplies for Kids

While this is marketed for children, older people can use with decent, fun results. They are nicely pigmented, especially when compared to artist's loft water soluble wax pastels. The included brush I found to be way too soft once wet, so I used a different brush which made the experience better. The package left room for improvement, it's not sturdy, which is disappointing considering the brand. None of the crayons were broken, but having purchased Faber castell products in the past I expected more presentation wise. The crayons activate nicely with water, but I found dark grey not so easily moved. Overall I like the product and would recommend.

Estos colores los compre para un regalo y mi sobrino junto con un juego de plumas para dibujar.

Son de excelente calidad.... Muy útiles

These have been just right for me. They don't completely melt away in water like the expensive ones do in YouTube videos. They leave a hint of crayon. This makes it easy to get texture in your watercolors. Harder to blend though. They're fun to play around with. Worked better with smoother multimedia paper rather than rougher watercolor paper.

These are my favorite art supplies! I have been using these watercolor crayons (plus F-C's watercolor pencils) in my visual storytelling workshops for over a decade now. Workshop participants - from preschoolers to elders - are always wowed by how vibrant the colors are, how even a rookie painter can create powerful imagery. I instruct workshop participants to dip the tip of each watercolor crayon into a bowl of water (the longer you hold it there, the more the crayon softens, the less likely colors will streak) before drawing with it. Or, color with it like a crayon and then smudge your drawing with a moistened Viva paper towel. (Only this brand of paper towel hasn't torn the 140 lb watercolor paper I use.) The watercolor pencils are reserved for optional detail work. Above are three examples of "visual stories" painted with watercolor crayons and watercolor pencils by refugee children. P.S. I've read complaints about the packaging deteriorating quickly. If you (an adult) slip the plastic tray with crayons in and out of the cardboard container carefully, I haven't had any problems. I've used the same sets for a year or two and the packaging is still intact. I'd much rather be careful than pay more for more durable packaging!
