I ordered two pick-your-own tins of the new Drawing Pencil colours, as it was cheaper than buying them individually or as a set, as I already had the original colours. The two tins arrived separately.... See more

Excellent set of pencils
I really appreciated being able to choose my own set of Colourflow pencils with the 'build your own tin' facility. Great pencils, too - well pigmented, velvety soft laydown, and they layer well. Only the white is weak - I have since replaced it with one from the Drawing range which is much better. Ideal for carrying around for quick sketches.

I love the Inktense watersoluble pencils. They are wonderful to use and I use them on fabric as well as paper. I wouldn’t buy any other brand. You have a great product. Also a very quick delivery service.
