Our take on the Pentel Arts Watercolor Pencil Set

A 12-pencil watercolor set with water-soluble leads in a wood casing, glued full length to resist breakage. You can color dry and then blend with a damp brush for washes and gradients, so one set covers drawing and light painting. It suits students, sketchers and mixed-media hobbyists who want a compact, low-mess way to try watercolor. Against open-stock artist watercolor pencils it offers fewer colors and less lightfastness data, but it is a simple, durable starter set.

What reviewers say

Reviewers treat it as a dependable, affordable entry into watercolor pencils. They like the smooth laydown and easy blending, and note the leads hold up better than expected. Some find the color range limited and the leads soft enough to need regular sharpening.

What people mention
  • BlendingPraisedOwners say the leads dissolve easily with a damp brush and blend into smooth gradients.
  • Lead durabilityPraisedThe full-length glued leads are reported to break less often than those in cheaper sets.
  • Color rangeMixedThe 12 hues cover basics, but some users want more greens and skin tones without mixing.
  • SharpeningCriticisedThe soft leads dull quickly, so users sharpen more often than with harder colored pencils.
  • Wash intensityMixedWashes come out soft and light; users wanting deep, saturated color lay it on thicker.

Questions and answers

Do these pencils work like regular watercolor pencils?
Yes. You color dry, 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.
How many colors are in the set?
Twelve assorted colors, including Lemon Yellow, Light Green, Prussian Blue and Brown. You mix intermediate shades on paper or a palette.
Are the leads break-resistant?
Pentel glues the lead along its full length inside the wood casing, which helps prevent breakage during sharpening and use.
Is this set good for beginners?
Yes. It is a low-mess way to try watercolor techniques, and the small palette keeps choices simple. Serious painters will likely want a larger set.
Can I use them on regular drawing paper?
Yes, but heavy water will buckle thin paper. Use watercolor or mixed-media paper for wet washes.
Do they need a fixative?
Dry work can smudge like any colored pencil. A light workable fixative helps, and fully dried washes are more stable.
Where is the Pentel Arts Watercolor Pencil Set cheapest?
At Pentel of America, Ltd., for $6.76, as of our latest check.
