How do watercolor pencils work?

You color dry like a regular pencil, then apply water with a brush to turn the pigment into a wash. You can also pick up color from the tip with a wet brush.

Is this set good for beginners?

Yes. The 24 colors cover basic mixing and the pencils work both dry and wet, so you can learn without buying separate paints.

Can I use them for regular dry drawing?

Yes. Used dry they behave like colored pencils; add water only where you want a watercolor effect.

How many colors are in the set?

24 assorted colors in a wooden case.

Do they work on regular paper?

They work on most drawing papers, but watercolor or mixed-media paper handles the wet washes better without buckling.

The maker does not state lightfastness ratings, so keep finished work out of direct sun.

Our take on the Kingart Watercolor Pencils (24 Count)

Kingart Watercolor Pencils are a 24-piece set of water-soluble colored pencils in a wooden case. You can draw dry like a normal colored pencil, then blend with a wet brush to get watercolor washes, so one set covers sketching and painting. The 24-color range is modest next to larger sets from brands like Faber-Castell and Derwent, but it suits beginners and casual sketchers who want to try watercolor pencil work without committing to a big set. Reviewers rate them well overall, and the compact set travels easily for sketching on the go.
