RE: Are these the best watercolor pencils out there? My review of Faber Castell Albrech Durer pencils

I wonder if you could order Maimeri online, it could save you a trip. I checked out la maison du pastel, they look so nice. I clicked on iridescents, 72 pc assortment, Woohooo pricey hahah. I bet they are super good. Are these the top of the line in regards to pastels?

Yes, I could order them, but I'm a brick and mortar guy. Have to see, touch, smell :-) Besides, it's fun going to Milan - just ask my wife. It's only a few hours for us, 600 klicks straight shot through Alsace and Switzerland. Not much more than Munich.

The French pastels are one of the top brands, probably the most expensive as they are handmade. Schmincke are very, very good and very, very soft, for a fraction of the price. (Still too expensive for a beginner like me.)
