Hello, I use the pins for my pictures. What has been noted as a point of criticism, is an advantage for me: Lubricate. Similar crayons or blocks can this smear, apply in several layers and smudge together. I often paint with my hands, I love the softness of the mines. other than wax painters has one then no fat layer at hand. They can also be combined with super Gouchefarben, Wassermalfarben, tinting and certainly finger paints. It dissolve partially or give fantastic thick traces. Can also be used on Aquarallpapier or wet technique. Runs at the edges and can be "added" by the brush. Together with thinner wasservermalbaren pins also a great combination when it takes times thin and thick lines. The pen are very thick, you can therefore only with knife-sharpened point reach very narrow lines or must use another pen. My tip: paint sometimes with the "andereren hand" with it. (I as a legal dealer times so with your left hand and you get out interesting stuff).
The name says it all for me program: all-rounder pins. For me, too good to be used as "crayons". There are also thick and short pins, which thus are not be mixed with water and solid in the face. Previously think twice if you really 3 features in a pen used. (Crayons, colored pencil, pen Wasservermalbarer). Alternatively, for children, the STABILO Trio thick SHORT pins in 12-Pack similarly handled well, but not as greasy. Mien there solid.
Absolutely essential: the sharpener included in the set.
