I’ve played about with them as watercolor paints, v similar effects but so much more vivid… there’s some wonderful inspiration on youtube etc – that’s where I first found them (and had to acquire asap to play!!)

They are a bit beyond my current abilities so I’m sturggling with them at the moment. As you say superb colours, I’m just not sure how to get the best results with them. I’d love to have a more loose style of working but I tend to go for highly detailed effects so they don’t really suit that style. I’m still experimenting tho :)

These are the most superbly made, beautifully finished boxes. Not naked unfinished ones. http://www.artdiscount.co.uk/product/derwent_coloursoft_wooden_box_set_of_72_pencils/
