BruynzeelDesign Professional Colored Pencil Set of 48 Colors in Box | Artists Pencils for Drawing, Sketching & Coloring

Found these by accident when I came across an artists review on youtube, and am so glad I did. They don't look as classy as some of the most popular makes, and the shaft is a little thinner, but these are really lovely pencils. The colours are really bright and lay down very smoothly and easily - the lightest of touches gives good strong colour. They layer and blend beautifully and are up there with my very favourites. The set I purchased (48) comes beautifully presented in a very sturdy cardboard box with four slide out drawers. The pencils nestle in little foam rubber compartments, fantastically safe and protected. Would make a lovely gift.

Fast delivery and the colours and texture are brilliant. But every pencil that I've used so far has a section where the lead keeps snapping and/or crumbling. Shame because otherwise they're fab.

Purchase arrived promptly and in good order - and well received!
