I bought the pins because of the good reviews, but I am disappointed in retrospect. I find the mines very hard, you have to press firmly, to properly get paint on sheet and even a Dark Blue is more than a faded dark blue. In addition, the mines contain Pigmentkrümelchen, so you paint from something you see on the surface very fine, darker lines that come from the Pigmentkrümelchen. The color gradations are partly too small, light red and dark red, almost the same, turquoise and medium blue are also almost identical. I am not satisfied - the pins in the tin of Aldi are better and softer. I will look for a replacement.
