Review: Absolute bargain in April 2026 £15.85 will never be at the price again I reckon - What an awesome find when these were on sale in April 2026 . I usually never find a bargain . These were at the time of purchase £15.85 . Tbh I thought they must have been fakes . So I was apprehensive waiting for their arrival No need to be. They turned all boxed carefully well packaged to find an inner box carton upon removal of this I found a wonder wooden box to store them in .All in tact no a single one broken . I had to just bought the bargain of the century . I have been wanting to invest in these for ages but the price was over £90 at the time a week before . So when I saw them I thought surely they have the price wrong , I smapped it up straight away . Which I had bought the remaining sets for the price amazing quality and even at £90 there still worth it but I’m a tight person lol and would always want stuff for has cheap has I can get it . It has a great colour selection for 48 , They so pigmented and water down nicely . I’d love to buy a bigger set if they ever come down in price . I would recommend these to anybody . 5*
Review: Lovely box of excellent pencils - If you're going to get a set of Inktense pencils this is the one to get. Lovely, well made wooden box which holds the 48 pencils securely in plastic grooves on the bottom and top lid, with an extra wooden holder across the whole of the upper lid, held in place with magnets to prevent any pencils from shifting around. The pencils themselves are gorgeous, lovely rich colour which goes on smoothly, especially on cold pressed paper or Bristol board, and which turn into beautiful rich shades when water is applied. You can get a great depth of colour by layering the same shades, or different ones, and can work wet over dry or vice versa, as well as taking colour directly from the pencil tip with a wet brush. The 48 colours includede are a good range for each colour, with plenty of greens especially. A versatile, exciting product only enchanced by the lovely packaging, this would be an ideal gift for an artist (or just treat yourself).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pencils, not such great customer service
*by E***J on 18 August 2014*

The pencils are awesome, really versatile and do all they promise to with a great colour range HOWEVER 1) I am a prime customer yet my parcel took just as long to arrive as if I wasn't, which is annoying as what's the point in having Prime if it's no guarantee? And amazon only let me know it would be delayed after waiting in all day for it to arrive 2) there was a colour missing (replaced with a duplicate) and amazon wanted me to send the whole set back (despite them selling the individual pencils) which after the initial delay I really didn't want to have to do LUCKILY I emailed Derwent first and they sent me a replacement pencil with absolutely no fuss at all which arrived very quickly so should anyone else have this problem I suggest you try contacting them first
