tell me about SU watercolor pencils

[Erin K]

what colors are they? Are they colors that match my papers and stuff.

How are they, some watercolor pencils I've had are super hard and I don't like that, are they softer?

General feelings?

I LOVE watercolor pencils, but want to expand my collection, I'd like the SU if they match the paper and are shades I like.

They do not match SU colors at ALL (IMO) and the set has too many greens in it.

I gave mine to my kids.

Thanks! I really need more pinks, so I guess I'll just get some open stock at the art store.

I really appreciate the feedback.

I jettisoned my SU! watercolor pencils a long time ago. The colors seem to have no relation at all to SU's 48 colors.

It makes no sense to me at all that SU would make such a deal about having 48 "exclusive" colors and then sell a set of watercolor pencils that don't seem to match any of those colors.

well it's poop! They should sell watercolor pencils in family sets and I would buy them.

I'm with you! They peeve me off when I go to use them. I wouldn't recommend them. They can also be hard and not as soft as others I find.

I don't use mine at all because they don't match anything. However, I have the watercolor crayons, and use them all the time. LOVE my crayons!

I really like the SU Watercolor Crayons - used with the blender pens they're great!
