Pencils are creamy, colors blend well, works great with mineral spirits. Bright colors. Some of the darks aren't as dark as I would like, however. Some colors crumble and with others the lead is very soft and wears down quickly. In 2 months, I have worn down several pencils to less than half size, will need extenders to hold them after next trip to sharpener. Wish these were available in open stock. Great value.
Good Value for Beginners and Budget Conscious Artists
