Review this product
the best coloured pencils for beginners to start with.....(and then continue using) - The set of 24 Derwent Watercolour Pencils is ideal for anyone who has never used coloured pencils before as they can be blended to get practically every colour one would want. They are soft and give rich colours, and one can also go over them with water to enrich parts. Of course one could always start with the full set which would be even nicer.

The blues and browns are mostly exceedingly lightfast, other colours less so to varying degrees. This is the same problem that practically all varieties of coloured pencils have. Pictures should therefore be placed in positions where they get no direct sunlight, and as little reflected light as possible to resist fading.
