Another excellent review, Karia. I think you have a little bit of the German attention to detail yourself, and it means you really give us meaningful, useful information. I was interested in the Albrecht Durer, did my research, and then came looking to see if you had done a review on them, for my final "seal of approval". So I've just ordered a set of 60 and look forward to receiving them. Thank you, as always, for your intelligent observations.

I wish you could come to Vienna in Austria to see Albrecht Dürer paintings in the Albertina Museum. I really appreciate, you spell Dürer correct and you type the ü correct. whenever you come to Europe, let me know. I really appreciate your videos

Thanks so much for this review. You inspired me to buy a set of Dürer watercolor pencils.  I am saving to get the 120 set. The color range is superior! Thanks again.

Great review, so many tips, thank you so much!!

[BlueNoodle]

Thank you for this very in-depth review. Since it's been 2 years, I wonder if they have Magnus in the 120 set now. Will check it out :o)

I don’t think the Faber Castell Magnus comes in more than a 24 set. I have just been made aware of the Magnus, but then I’m new to pencil colouring so that’s my excuse. I am searching for the tins but they are not easy to find even in Germany. I noticed they are on the Faber Castell site for single purchased. Will keep looking though. I’m used to painting wet on wet but I think the watercolour pencils would give more control.
Other than that, I’ve been fierce in locating and purchasing pencils, just need to find a tin of Magnus.
Thanks for the wonderful presentation….watching five years later.

Thank you for another amazing review. I just bought myself a set of 60 (I found a brand new set for $80). I can't afford the 120, but since they're watercolor pencils...like you said, you can do a lot with them.

[EveBolt]

Aaaah now I kinda want a few of them to try them out, haha! I'll be adding some to my wishlist, hehe :)

Great review...I've been really intrigued with these pencils since seeing Sadie's review of them. I'm primarily interested in possibly using them to do quick but artsy watercolor wash backgrounds to colored pencil portraits.You mentioned some Strathmore paper products I've never tried out...so i'm wondering....do you know if those papers you used have the same consistency as Strathmore's toned tan or toned gray papers, because they are my absolute favorite papers. Faber-Castell's products are so impressive.

[bevroberts]

Great review and comparison; but now I feel so dissatisfied with my Derwent watercolor pencils, LOL. Are the Albrecht Durer Magnus watercolor pencils the same thing as Faber-Castell Art Grip Aquarelle pencils?

[arastedegreensleeves]

pretty pencils never used water colored pencils before ill try some

[ancientimmie]

I just got the 24 set. If you were going to build to a 48 set what colors would you recommend?

[NessysSanctuary]
