The pencils are hard (hard-core as opposed to the normal softer core), and the colors don't come out easily. It does transform into watercolor nicrly, but since its not very pigmented I have to press hard on it to get the shade I want...

It doesn't separate at the waterline for easy painting or to appear in the water.

It could have used another coat of stain as the color wasn't as rich as I would have liked. After a year it has lightened up in areas and you can see where the stain is uneven. I use coasters because it gets water marked easily. Overall it's nice. Not fantastic.

There's a bunch of them that don't really color as good. The ink doesn't just flow nicely like other gel pens I have bought

The colors rotation for this product doesn't always work. It frequently gets stuck on the green color, and it reduces the pressure so much that the water spray barely makes it a third of the way across a standard tub.

The colors don't come off as easily as we would like but it's okay.  She (4 year old) plays with the dog in the tub and that's the main reason we bought it.  We were concerned with the little "ducky" and floating toys that squirt water as they end up with mold.  This helped so far.

The colors aren't as vibrant as they appear in the picture. It is also made of a slippery nylon material.

I like how bright some of these paints are, but they are difficult to mix in the palette. You have to really wet the paint and work it into the brush to mix colors. I really like the tube of white gouache.

The clear paints turn into colors on the page, almost like invisible ink that becomes visible a couple seconds after writing.  The paints all look like clear jelly, but they react with the special paper to create different pastel colors.  My daughter was entertained by these paints for a little while, but she was a bit confused when there was a brief lag time (a few seconds) between painting and seeing the colors (she is 2-years-old).  With the clear paints and the thick brush, it is difficult to paint anything with precision.  Only thick lines are possible, and it's difficult to see how much paint you have on the brush.  Also, all of the colors react with the paper to create pastel colors that look like watercolors.  You can't make bolder colors by using more paint, and after awhile, all the pictures painted with these paints start to look the same because the colors do not vary no matter what technique is used for application. Also, as others have mentioned, the lights on the paint palette are pretty useless and just flash on and off indiscriminantly.

On the upside, the clear paints only turn into colors when they're on the special paper, so there is less danger to surrounding furniture, clothes, etc.

Ok, maybe my expectations were too great. Our grandson loves to draw on ANYTHING, so I figured this would be a hit, until.... we immediately discovered that whatever you draw begins to fade almost immediately as the water dries.  It works by filling the "pens" with water. There are four pens that snap onto the case. You draw on the surface of the pad with the pens to make your picture, but like I said, once the water begins to dry, your picture goes away.  There are two sides to draw on, but even before turning it over to draw on the other side, the first picture started to fade.

This isn't the kind of drawing toy where your kid can keep a drawing to show you later. It's now or never.  I'm not really sure what the designers had in mind, other than it's a way to draw without having ink or paint that spills and makes a mess, and little kids can play with it unsupervised. I suppose this would be perfect for kids with really SHORT attention spans, but for kids interested in creating a picture, it's not one that leaves a lasting impression.

Needs some sharpening. But the colors are fantastic.

Writes a nice color, shake too hard and it will break, takes a long time to get the color to come out.

Pros: It's an amazing color, I can't say enough how much I love the color of this ink. It dries quickly and is extremely waterproof.
Cons: It writes a full nib larger in every pen I own. It feathers badly and bleeds through often even on good paper. The color is also very different from one pen to the next. It also dries up in pens after as little as two days, clogs feeds, and has stained several converters. Pens that usually write without issue will write well when first filled, but in as little as two days I'm getting hard starts and skips which require emptying, soaking, and refilling the pen.

I want to love this ink because of the color, but I just can't handle the way it writes at the end of the day.

I loved the variety of colors and especially the unusual ones such as teal, but these are definitely crafting watercolors not professionals.
Lot of white pigments (which I guess is expected from this type of colors).
I would say they are very nice for kids or crafters who want bright colors, but to do real serious watercoloring, these might be disapointing a little, especially for people who have experienced professional quality watercolor previously.

It's okay , it takes seconds to dry but it comes out the tube in an irradacent color which is odd . And dries to a shiny sheen

Colors aren't the same as the pic, it looks like a photo rather than a painting.

definitely vivid colors.  Not really watercolor.  Hard to use.  Tight fit on screw makes it hard to open/close without squeezing paint out of the brush.  paint doesn't flow smoothly when adding more color.  Almost impossible to control paint dynamically as painting.  Not really worth the price from a mobile watercolor artist pov.  Better off with a set of paints and a water brush from pentel.  Coolest thing about them are the extremely vivid colors.
