I'm no expert by any means but will try to point out the best qualities of these pencils.
First off is that the colors are incredibly vibrant and look amazing on paper. The pigment completely dissolves when a wet brush is applied and the pigment can be pulled from the pencils themselves using a brush and applied directly to the paper. Obviously you can use them dry and they react like soft core colored pencils. If you use a wet application after though you can't tell pencil was used as the colors are completely dissolved. The colors are permanent though once dried which is great because it allows for more layering.
I sharpened them by hand to expose roughly twice as much of the cores then with a traditional sharpener so I can use them for burnishing easier and also to pull color from the core using a brush directly. The cores are holding up incredibly well, I have no fear of them breaking even with almost a full inch exposed.
Another small note worth mentioning is the quality of wood used as well was apparent to me when sharpening. The wood actually cut away and was soft enough that it wasn't a huge hassle to sharpen all 36 of them by hand. A small point obviously but I felt worth mentioning.
The case itself is nice, I chose this over the tin to shave a couple bucks off and I liked how the gift box looked. The flap that opens also has a magnet in it to shut the box together and can be used as a stand.
The only downside is of course lack of colors. Not that the set is lacking per se but some colors are missing. Examples are lack of flesh tones, greys and browns. Jerry's Artrama supply (spelling) here on Amazon sells the individual pencils as well but you'll need to do a bit of searching to find them. I'm supplementing this set with about 20 pinks, browns, fleshes and greys.
I'll be adding some pictures soon. Need to paint some examples and also waiting on a paper block to be delivered.
If you want actual artist quality watercolor pencils then the Albrecht Durer line is what you want. They're fantastic.
I would recommend them to anyone.

If you're like I was (for years), tired of undissolved WCpencil lines... PLEASE, spare yourself of all the frustration and get these! PLEASE???!! And BEGINERS, I feel, if you're serious and know you need to paint or draw.. in my opinion go for everything professional. It might cost more, but you'll have a much better chance of being successful.
Only problem with this box... as soon as you see how beautiful they are and work, you're going to want the 120 set! Hmm...maybe skip this step and just go straight to the 120???? Hmmmmm.
