I find myself using Stone Grey lots - good and clear but not as harsh as black ...

I'd never thought of stone grey, but you're right, black can be a bit harsh. Do they do a deep brown too. Off to check sponsers

I've just started using stone grey too and yes I think I prefer it to the black, particularly on images I'm colouring in.

I rather like Forest Green too...but why oh why did I buy the flipping white one??

**Ali M** · 14-09-2007, 10:57 AM

Not sure if this is of any use to anyone, but...

When I bought my watercolour pencils the other year I had no clue which brand to go with. How do you know if one is considered better than another? You don't. So, feeling that it was a bit of an investment (rather than something you buy new each week) I joined several big watercolouring forums.

I asked them for advice on which set of watercolour pencils to go for and had lots of helpful advice from people. The general opinion was (and this was by a huge margin) that the watercolour pencils by Caran D'ache were the best ones (over brands like Derwent etc). I was told you should invest in a good set from the start rather than "wasting your money on cheaper ones that you replace". Also the general opinion was to go for a set with at least about 30 pencils if you could afford it.

I was specifically adviced by lots of people to go for the "Supracolor Soft" Watercolour Pencils set by Caran D'Ache. So that is what I bought. It comes in a nice tin with 40 pencils and is marked "Supracolor Soft" (though on the pencils themselves it says "Supracolor II Soft").

Of course it's always a matter of personal opinion etc, but since I put a lot of research into this and got such an overwhelming response to go for Caran D'ache I thought I might as well share the info with you at least.

Hope this was of help for someone
