Love it

These pencils are the absolute business, love them so much, really versatile and so vibrant when you wet them

Beautiful bright colors

These were a lot brighter then I anticipated and I think I prefer them over any watercolor pencils I've tried in the past. 10/10 would buy more of them.

I always look forward to getting my kit boxes, they never disappoint.

Great value

Great box, inktense pencils excellent value, plus brush and pad.

Scrawbox

A lovely collection of items. Pleased.

Wonderful items

I’m not usually a painter, nor do I use watercolour-style pencils but it was a nice departure to try something new

Great box!

These pencils are brilliant they are like watercolours but are more permanent. White gouache always great to have in your stash and can never have too many sketch pads.

Art boxes.

Really lovely, quality boxes of inspiration. My daughter loves them.

The gouache was watery

Unfortunately the gouache was watery and unusable

Great quality pencils.

one of my favourites!

As always the booklet is so full of great tips and ideas.
The pencils are so much fun to use as the true colors are activated when you add water so you sort of stay excited to see the final result. Totally recommend it.

Lovely pencils

Good quality materials

review

fine

A little box of joy

I purchased two old stock boxes, so at an exceptionally good price. Even though I knew what to expect, the unwrapping is always a pleasure. Quality products and really good hints and tips on how to make the most of them in the enclosed zine. Well done Scrawlrbox! X

This was too good not to buy. Beautifully curated set. Sent so quickly. Thank you ScrawlrBox.
Thoroughly recommend this seller of art materials. You learn something new everytime from the useful ScrawlrZine.

My first box

This was the first time I tried the inktense pencils and they were amazing. I just loved the colors too - fun to experiment with.

My most used box!

This review is coming months later. The Derwent Inktense pencils I got in this box are now about an inch long. I loved this box. I loved the pencils. I loved the color palette.
I've been using these nonstop in my sketchbook. I had not tried the inktense pencils before this box. What makes them different from other watercolor pencils is that after they have been activated and dried, they will not reactivate.

Good quality

Arrived as advertised. Good quality!

Brilliant as usual

Another box of top quality artist supplies - the inktense pencils are amazing and the curated selection in the box are perfect to explore mixing and layering the colours
