Staedtler - karaat aquarel kleurpotloden, waterschilderbaar

I love these. I have been using coloured pencils for over 25 years now but all of the watercolour pencils I have tried in the past were pretty naff and put me off using them. These however work beautifully as a watercolour pencil. I drew and shaded my picture first and then gently washed parts of the picture with a wet brush, the pencil strokes instantly turned into watercolour which was easily blended. Delightful.I would advise anyone starting out to be careful if you want to blend very dark colours into lighter ones, you could end up with a muddy result. I find the best thing to do in this case is to leave a patch of white between the colours and carefully blend the colours into the white - just a method I use.I wouldn't use these pencils purely for a coloured pencil shading drawing/exercise because they are too soft. Also if you use them on textured paper the colour really catches the grain of the paper. I would only use them on textured paper if you want to take advantage of the watercolour element, or if you want a 'grainy' pencil effect. They aren't really suitable as an all round colour pencil in my opinion.The pencils are presented in 2 layers (a good range of colours) and the lid on the tin can be removed and just fits easily back on which is very handy because you can then use the inside of the lid to put pencils in as you swap and change colours. A great product in my opinion :)

Die Qualität ist sehr gut und auch die vielen Farben sind Top. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir .

Diese Stifte eignen sich für die aquarellmalerei perfekt. Stadler sind die besten

I have only recently started using colour pencils. I was buying some for my grandchildren, and I found I really enjoyed drawing and colouring. My first pencils were Staedtler ergosoft. I then purchased a few more expensive brands for myself,eg, colour soft and Faber Castell. However I kept going back to ergosoft because of the intensity of the colour and the shades available.So I decided to buy the Staedtler karat aquarell. I really wish I had bought these at the start. I had foolishly thought that more expensive equated to better quality. I love the range of colours and shades, especially the greens and blues. They are such a joy to use. They blend well and are so smooth on paper. They also wear very well and are easy to sharpen. Just like the ergosoft, there are no problems with breakages.I will be sticking with Staedtler in future and would recommend these to anyone looking for a great quality pencil at a very reasonable price.

Die Farben liegen gut in der Hand, das Malen ist weich und angenehm. Für Hobbymaler, aber auch für fortgeschrittene Maler gleichermaßen geeignet. Durch das Vermalen mit Wasser lassen sich zusätzlich interessante Ergebnisse mit Schattierungen erzielen. Bin sehr zufrieden!
