Great demo! I was really looking to find a nicely pigmented watercolor pencil and this definitely helps. Thanks!

+hitgar Thanks. Glad I could be of some assistance! It's the reason I'm doing this. As mentioned in this video, I will be eliminating one brand from testing in my next video, and will be replacing it with Derwent Inktense pencils, which are permanent ink based water soluble pencils. Anyway, I'm not recommending one over another, but since they haven't been included in my previous videos, you might consider looking into and learning about these as well. Best of luck with your decision!

This is super helpful and probably the best scientific controlled review over the different brands. You are amazing and thank you so much. For my personal use I'm leaning towards Fantasia or Brevillier but I'm ganna wait for your transparency view before I commit.

Thanks for this video! Very helpful and informative! I'm amazed at your collection!

[@elizabethduff3118]

I am awaiting your next review, using the Inktense pencils. I hope you don;t forget us!

Which caran dache pencils did you use? Fancolor, Supracolor, or museum aquarelle?

[@Raeburnsart]

what a collection you have!!! I'm astounded by it haha thanks for showing us all those brand in contrast to each other with some of their ability looking to buy better watercolour pencils for my collection as right now I'm stuck with cheapies that just are not getting me the results I'm after. the brand is Mont Marte which is well known in Australia as a budget brand. want to get something just a bit better. they actually remind me of your Sargent ones in comparison to their colour.

[@Raeburnsart]

they're probably a bit better than the Sargents but using them makes me feel as bad as looking at your Sargents haha how do you feel about the Staedler brand? have you ever used the Red box by Faber Castell watercolours? or academy Derwents?

What was your favorite brand ?

You've given us 2 videos now but have yet to do much in comparison. You keep saying in your next video you will give us your conclusions which never happens. You are just providing basic information on watercolor pencil sets. This could have been so much better, you blew it. Sorry. Then you go on to say you're adding Inktense. They should not be included. Inktense are water soluble ink pencils. Comparing them to Dr. Martin's, Bombay or other art inks would make more sense. There is a big difference between watercolor pencils and ink pencils, there is no comparison. Just saw it's been 2 years so perhaps we will never get your comparison of watercolor pencils. Thanks for sharing this with us. Kathy B.
