Ultimate Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolor Pencils Review (plus Magnus)

[@maggiebach5791]

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.

[@ColoringKaria]

Awww thank you so much! That’s such a wonderful thing to hear!

[@mariaoezelt]

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

[@yarmo28]

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.

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.

[@Gogies777]

do you mind sharing where u got it for $80?thanks

[@MamaTomasu]

Found it on Amazon through a 3rd party seller called "yes1000 from EUROPE". Prices fluctuate. As of today, it's being sold directly through Amazon for $80 :)

[@Gogies777]

US$ right?also how long did it take to get to you?yeah i've seen that company selling these pencils and i always wonder if they are legit or not.i guess i might consider getting stuff from them when listed on bargain.thanks.

[@MamaTomasu]

Yes, sorry, USD. I know, I was a little apprehensive since it was coming from Lithuania. The estimated delivery was a month to 2 months, but I was willing to wait since it was a good price. But it got to me (in Hawaii, USA) in 2 weeks. It was packed very securely. I was extremely happy with the seller "yes1000 from EUROPE"

[@Gogies777]

great stuff,i ended up buying the 36 set in tin can for $74 canadian here at out local store.cantw ait to play with it this weekend.thanks,your video among other ones helped me decide to get this.

+Mariana Sertić thank you SO much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@BlueNoodle79]

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)

[@ColoringKaria]

Thank you so much! Last time I checked they only had a set of 30. I could be wrong though.

[@BlueNoodle79]

yeah, I couldn't find them, so probably not a thing :o)I ordered the regular ones. Can't wait :o)

[@ancientimmie]

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

[@ColoringKaria]

I actually have a set of 48! I can type out the colors but it'll take a day or so as i have to finish my housework first but I will take a picture in a few hours and put it on instagram of the colors in 48 color set. This is the set i use the most and i love the most.

[@ancientimmie]

@@ColoringKaria You are awesome!

[@ColoringKaria]

Ok I have the images up on my instagram feed at @coloring.karia on instagram. But I will have the typed up version of the numbers for you.

[@bevroberts8440]

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?

[@ColoringKaria]

Hello, Thanks so much for watching. Absolutely not. The art grip are student grade pencils. The Magnus as you can see from the video are larger, more lightfast and softer artist grade pencils. The ArtGrip are had to find but when I do they run about $1 a pencil and are sold only packs. The Magnus are $4 each and are sold in sets as well as individually.

[@bevroberts8440]

Thanks for clearing up my confusion :~)!

[@ColoringKaria]

+Bev Roberts no problem. I'm glad it helped.

[@twingytwango6971]

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.

[@ColoringKaria]

yeah there used to be a wood box set of 36 but I dont think they make it anymore

[@NessysSanctuary]

another fantastic review i love the way you do your colour swatches i would love to see a how too on this an in depth one on why you chose to do it the way you do and the different ways you do iti have seen other's do it but didn't get it lol i though tok i wont be doing that but after seeing the ways that you do it i would do your ways as i can see better and it would not be boring lol thank you for doing this

[@ColoringKaria]

+madhatters crafts oh sure that's a great idea! I need something to record today but sure I could do this or something like this.

[@NessysSanctuary]

thank you so much you have made my day lol

[@retreatsyndrome8478]

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.

[@ColoringKaria]

+RetreatSyndrome I have tried I think toned gray. I would have to get it out to see. And compare them. Can you remind me tomorrow here or on instagram and I'll take a picture comparing them or shoot a short video. I do really enjoy them for quick back grounds. I don't know what part of the world you live in but they are sold open stock. I would suggest getting a few individual pencils and see if you like them enough to get a set. I also suggest possibly getting the larger Magnus. Last thing is make sure you practice with these before you use them on a finished work. But if there is a learning curb it is not very big. I hope this helps.

[@retreatsyndrome8478]

Thank you, I noticed that you mentioned them being available in open stock...I live in Richmond Virginia but have never seen them in Michael's, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby or Plaza. I may go the online route and get a few to experiment with.Thanks for offering to put up a picture about it...I guess my main concern is whether or not the paper will wrinkle when the water dries...but like an airhead, I didn't think about maybe brushing some water onto a scrap piece and seeing what happens when it dries, lol

[@DQDebra]

I love mine. With water or without.

[@ColoringKaria]

thats awesome! thank you for watching! let me know if you have any question.

[@arastedegreensleeves2179]

pretty pencils never used water colored pencils before ill try some sooooooon

[@ColoringKaria]

+Arastede Greensleeves they are a lot of fun. Crayola has a set of 12 or 24 that are a good starter set before you decide if you want to get something like the Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils.

[@heshamrezo6291]

I have a question can I use this watercolored pencils like polychromos with out using water and did they have the same result without using water

[@ColoringKaria]

You can. You just have to make sure to keep your work dry. You also can’t use solvents that you would use with dry pencils. They tend to be a little softer core than the dry pencils but it should totally work just the same.

[@heshamrezo6291]

[@fionacarvell2033]

What are water colour pencils

[@Rachlovescooking]

I find you can’t really compare the albrecht durer watercolor pencils and the derwent because they are two different things. The derwent behave more like watercolors in that they will life the previous layer. The albrecht durers do not. They are most comparable with the derwent inktense pencils. That would be a better comparison because they behave the same. I think you would find you’d get a different result

[@ColoringKaria]

I compared them to both. Some people said I shouldn’t compare them to the inktense (actually a LOT of people said that and were extremely aggressive and hostile about it 🤣). I *can* and have compared every brand of water soluble pencil I have reviewed with every other brand of watercolor soluble pencil I have reviewed. It’s not a system that everyone will love but it’s the best way to explain products to those who don’t have access to all the brands I have reviewed. I hope that helps.

[@crealynn5302]

Polychromos is an oil based pencil and will not dissolve with water. You can not compare it with a watercolor pencil. Just a tip.

[@ColoringKaria]

Please watch the video. The reason I mention the Polychromos is that they are color indexed to the Albretch Dürer and they can be used together for multimedia. Being color indexed makes that much easier. Further some artists use watersoluble pencils dry because they tend to be softer (as is the case here) so if someone wants to move between the two or is used to the Polychromos and wants to try a watersoluble pencil this is a great choice because of that color indexing.
