Tidepool Watercolor Pencils & Pad Bundle

The 24 colors blend into each other so smoothly once you go over them with a wet brush, especially the blues and greens. I sketched a little koi pond on the pad that came with it and the paper held up fine. Genuinely a fun set for the price.

I’ve been blending these pencils with a wet brush and the colors turn into these soft, luminous washes that feel way more expensive than they are. The 24 shades give you plenty of range for landscapes, and the illustrated box keeps everything tidy on my desk.

The box itself is gorgeous enough to leave out on a desk, but the pencils are the real win—they layer beautifully and the water really brings out that luminous, tidepool-like depth. I bought it as a gift for my sister and ended up testing every single one of the 24 colors before wrapping it.
