The pencils\u00a0have Faber-Castell&#8217;s GRIP technology and ergonomic design to create a comfortable hold, and if that isn&#8217;t enough then surely the greatest selling point has to be\u00a0the water soluble pigment which\u00a0means that you can create watercolour effects just by\u00a0blending with\u00a0a wet paintbrush &#8211;\u00a0and the base of the rocket is a little cup to hold your water! There&#8217;s no doubt the rocket shape will appeal to children and it includes a pencil sharpener stored in the base as another added bonus. The pencils are the quality that you would expect from Faber-Castell without an expensive price tag, and a must have for all those budding young artists out there.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see how to get the watercolour effect then why not check out the video below from Faber-Castell and then come and grab your set from New Forest Stationers in New Milton &#8211; Currently retailing at \u00a37.99 *Set used in video differs from the one reviewed but the pencils are the same.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gTQj70mVpnE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faber-Castell is one of the world&#8217;s largest manufacturers of art supplies, pens, pencils and so much more.\u00a0They are\u00a0also a highly respected brand loved by artists the world over so when I got the chance to review these colour pencils I&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[33,29,31],"class_list":["post-235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product","tag-colour-pencils","tag-faber-castell","tag-watercolour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":279,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions\/279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.newforeststationers.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
