I know as a watercolorist and pigment nerd that these earth colors are created with both natural & synthetic Iron Oxides that are naturally 100 % lightfast just like they are in watercolor paint & other mediums. Most true earth colors are. Beautiful work! I love these pencils.

The colors are also reminding me of the subtle hues you get looking at natural rock formations and minerals, if you have any liking for landscapes with a lot of exposed geological features. Look at good photos of anything from chalk cliffs to basalt to sandstone to the crazy red earth formations in Africa and Australia, or even all kinds of minerals lying in shallow water at the seashore. If the colors themselves work well and you can combine them for even more subtle creation of hues, then they are perfect with perhaps another harder pencil type for surface texturing when needed.

If this isn't too weird a thing to compliment someone on - you are the best "swatcher" ever. I love when you say you are messy or sloppy-you are the most naturally perfect person! Great artwork in several media and not just commonly covered subjects. Very good reviews of products I am interested in and generally great channel.

They are amazing! Just got the 24 tin for my birthday. I bought most individuals years ago but was missing a few colours so asked for the tin as duplicates are great as backups. Among my favourite coloured pencils of all. An excellent addition to any collection just getting hype as I am waiting until my actual birthday to have them… loved your demonstration artwork.

Appreciated your review very much. I bought a few singles back in the late '90s and rediscovered what was left recently. Playing with them, particularly the Venetian Red prompted me to pick up the set of 12. I think what first drew me to them, and still does, was that particular red. I've always liked the Da Vinci sketches in that red ochre tone (which may be age) and the composition and tone of these let me approach some of those old works in style. Thanks again.

You know, I feel like this is a standalone set! derwent has a ton of colored pencil sets, and I haven't tried them all. The Procolours were too hard for me. The Coloursoft were very buttery. I think the colored pencil set that receives the most praise (besides the Drawing pencils) is the Derwent Lightfast. They are expensive and I don't own them yet
