Staedtler Watercolour pencils anyone?

[Metalcharm]

I've seen the Staedtler - Karat Aquarell Watercolour Pencil Set for a pretty good price and wonder if anyone has tried them and what did you think?

thanks! : D (for the Australians .. Peter's of Kensington have the pack of 60 for $55 and i am tempted!)

I've been using them for 20 years! I use them with an aquapainter, and I really love the results.

I really like mine. They color very nicely.

I have a few of them and I get great results with them. The price sounds right and if you can afford it I would say go for it.

Oh that's great - thanks for helping me make up my mind!

On the site it says they are RRP at $126 - I think that might be a bit over-inflated but $55 for the 60 is certainly a great price here.
