Of the other brands and sets I've tried, only the more expensive pans (Rubens) and tubes (Sennelier) have mostly held up. Pre-filled watercolor pens (Chromatek, Ohuhu) are about useless for any kind of permanent or archival work. They faded within a day.
But these watercolor pencils, WOW! I finished the Fade Test and there is no noticeable difference. It's a much easier medium for me to use as I work in fine detail sometimes, and these sharpen up well. Adding water makes a beautiful, even wash. I can't wait to get started on many of the projects I've had on the back burner.

When applied dry-on-dry and then wet with a brush the pencil strokes disappear completely - exactly as hoped. Other brands only partially dissolve, leaving the watercolor pencil marks visible - even if lightly scrubbed while applying a water wash.
Applied dry-on-wet the marks mostly fade, but some become adhered to the paper, leaving lines.
Colors are reasonably vibrant. No complaints.
If you're looking for an easy way to capture base tones while urban sketching, this is a great option.
Beginners - avoid the tempting, cheap watercolor pencils Amazon promotes for gifts - buy these. You'll never be able to make your paintings look as you expect. This is what you want.
These F.C. watercolor pencils are the gold standard for these types of pencils.
I have many really good sets of watercolor pencils I am happy with that cost a fraction of the price like Joywish and Marco to name a few but none compare with these pencils.
The closest they come to vibrancy once activated with water are my Inktense pencils and although very vibrant once activated with water, it’s apples to oranges because they are a totally different medium. Inktense are ink pencils and these are water color pencils.
They lay down easily, are vibrant, “come alive” once you go over what you colored with a water brush and feel very substantial in the hand.

I also use these for drawing a sketch before applying liquid watercolors. Since they completely dissolve, your sketch doesn't have to be visible in the final product. Dipping the watercolor pencil in water allows you to put down hard lines which are less able to dissolve - great for textures. My students love them as a transition from drawing to painting.
Pair with a decent sketchbook, like Bee Paper Super Deluxe Sketch Pad, 11-Inch by 14-Inch or Stillman & Birn Epsilon Series Sketchbooks 6 in. x 8 in. wire bound 50 sheets and a Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brush Assorted Tips, Pack of 3 (FRHBFMBP3) set and you've got a wonderful way to create colored drawings and small paintings on site without a mess. Worth the expense.
