In this review we take a look at the Staedtler Tinted Watercolour Pencils, essentially the pencils are water soluble graphite tinted with a bit of color. If you have ever used the Derwent Graphitint or perhaps the Spectrum Noir Colour Tint, you will have a good understanding of what to expect from the Staedtler Tinted Watercolor Pencils.

Your mushroom ate gorgeous! Nice review! I've only used the Derwent graphitint but I love their moody tones!
You could make a swatch on a sticky labor and wrap it around the pencil for identification.
I left the color names in my comment with the numbers on the pencils they go to so that can hopefully help as well.
They blend by layering on the paper so lovely. I love these in my sketchbook.
I actually love these moody colors and find that they blend out better than the derwent grahitint pencils. I do wish they would bring out 12 more pencils to fill the spectrum out so we can blend colors better. I am looking forward to your comparison video. Thank you for another great review and a shroom piece to boot.
Tinted was good to have as not everyone keeps them separate. The color names do exist just not on the pencil or box.
G2 - tinted cherry
G20 - Plum
G6 - Dark Violet
G1 - Ivy Green
G5 - Bottle Green
G36 - Graphite Indigo
G3 - Ocean Blue
G83 - Dark Slate Grey
G9 - Graphite
G4 - Honey Brown
G76 - Chestnut Brown
G73 - Winter Brown
I leave the numbers on the pencil turned up in my case and labeled my swatches with both the G# and color name. The above is the order my box was in so kept them in that order. It only too, a few minutes to find names when I got them last December. The hardest part was making sure the grey names were connected to the right numbers.
Would prefer one of the grey pencils was replaced with a yellow, and certainly wouldn't mind a darker grey closer to black for contrast.
Thank you so much for the Color names, I couldn’t find them on their website. However, even if they kept the tinted on the pencil there is still plenty of room on the pencil to at the very least add the numbers, that way artists could easily match the pencils to their swatch.
I just think a company as huge as Staedtler shouldn’t make it that difficult for the artist to find the pigment names or numbers and then try to match them up with the pencils. Even adding the numbers or names to the tin or box would be really helpful.
The last digits of the number on the back of the pencil are the color number. So I just made a swatch, put the color number next to it and now choose the right color by checking the number on the back. I did not expect color names on the pencils since they are very affordable and most budget pencils don’t have names on them.
@@TheArtGearGuide the G numbers are on the pencil look on the side that doesn't say tinted. That's why I use that with the swatch. So they do have identifiers to tie to the pencil from the factory.
@@selbarton yeah I see that, but that G number is at the end of a longer number. I think for people who aren’t prepared to search their website, crack a code and select two or three alphanumeric digits from a long row of numbers and marry them up to the colours on the website, something really simple for everyone to see and understand would be nice on the barrel or packaging.
Despite the fact that Staedtler are a massive company and sell what I consider really decent art materials, they seem to have a serious issue with adding Color names or numbers in plain easy to find, for everyone, locations. I reviewed their Luna Watercolor pencils, again really nice pencils but they supplied stickers you could apply to the barrels as means to identify the Color, but half the colors were not available on the sticker sheet and because the barrel of the Luna is a bit different with a twisting effect, it was impossible to know which sticker should be applied to which barrel. I asked Staedtler about this via email and was told that there had been a few misprints made with the sticker sheets, so to be fair I have no idea of knowing if I was unlucky and got a misprinted sheet or if they were all like it.
I know for some people the pigment name being on the pencil doesn’t matter at all, but for others it is not so much important as helpful. To have the G numbers stuck at the end of the Art No just makes it even more difficult to understand why they couldn’t have made it stand out like the Made in Germany print, or Staedtler Print, or the Tinted Print, but this is only my opinion and given how inexpensive the set are, maybe that factors into the decision making, who knows.
the colornumbers:
G1 efeugrün
G2 kirschrot dunkel
G3 ozeanblau
G4 honigbraun
G5 flaschengrün
G6 veilchen dunkel
G9 graphit
G20 pflaume
G36 graphit indigo
G73 winterbraun
G76 kastanienbraun
83 schiefergrau dunkel
While I like these, I think the vibrancy of the colors don't give me the tinted graphite look. I prefer the Derwent Graphitints for more desaturated colors.
I am excited to see your updated review on the Irojiten colored pencils. I think it's a beautiful, classy set as far as looks go.
Don't stress yourself too much, Harry. Your fans are a very patient bunch. 😊 Take good care of yourself and your family, take time to heal and stay safe.
I got those a few months ago, because they're so much cheaper than the Derwent ones here in Germany -I really like the colours find them to be pretty soft and not as scratchy as I feared them to be. I'm pretty happy with my purchase, even though I haven't had the chance to really try them out extensively. I'd love to see them produce more shades than those twelve ones :3
The colors you say are similar, are the "one Cool and one Warm" version of a color. It's very on most companies, their sets come like that.If you notice better, this set is one cool and one warm, from each color. Begin with grey, which is the easiest to notice.
Thanks for the great review. I just saw these on an online shop and had no idea they existed. Love the mushroom painting!
I loved these pencils! I put a wee swatch round the top of the pencil with some tape. They're totally budget friendly and FUN. I never assumed they were meant to be used on their own. I used them with watercolor pencils and soluble graphite and other bits and bobs. I couldn't bring myself to pay for the derwent ones and these were just a fun stand in. Great review 🙂
Your video brought me to order this lovely set! For the more golden yellow they have another watercolour pencil set i guess. So a nice addition for these !
Your reviews are so awesome. I really enjoy them.
I'd cut out the swatches and taped it to the pencil.
Thank you so much for showing these💜
Harry, I always love your reviews. I always check your reviews if I'm going to make a purchase. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Take Care.
Such pretty colours. Thank you for the review.
Thank you for all the reviews you do Harry. I always look here when I consider buying new pencils. These tinted pencils look very tempting to have. I also look forward to see the Irojiten review. I have those. They are not my most used pencils, but I do like them alot. Take care.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment I really appreciate. I know what you mean about the Irojiten, when I first got them I really never used then again after the review, but back them I really didn't understand that much about paper. So for this review I am going to so how the pencils react on different grades of paper as well as a few other things, I am really looking forward to completing the Irojiten review.
Also one of the big issues with the Irojiten when I reviewed them was the difficulty in buying them open stock, but now that issue is resolved and more people can buy them in the knowledge that open stock purchases are no longer a problem.
I picked up a set of these for $7 with a coupon. For that price I can overlook the missing names, although I agree it should be on there! I love them and they'll be my travel/urban sketch go to. They blend great and the color is great. I can add a Sienna or a Sunflower from one of my other sets, it does need a yellow. Thx for the review!
I concur even if they put a number at the bottom...I also agree with your tone values....you do need a yellow...great review I recd this as a gcard for the holidays am excited to do some drawing and paintings with this....I'm just gonna grab a yellow watercolor pencil and black to this set and just mix it into another graphitint color....thanks for the ideas you gave from this video....
Great review, I have never tried these or the graphitint ones, but I really like the colors in this set, although I agree they need to a warm yellow type color and having a black would be an asset as well.
Such a good idea with the pencil numbering! I have a set of 36 similar pencils from Sonnet, same no means of identifying them.
I love these pencils, there subtle colors are gorgeous and sometimes subtle is just what the art doctor ordered as opposed to bright and vibrant. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for your support
Nice review and video! I have these pencils and they are beautiful! Also have the Derwent Graphitint pencils and one set of the Spectracolor pencils and they are all beautiful! I use them by themselves, but also in mixed media. Also excellent for landscape. You could use these pencils for creating just about any kind of drawings but you would have to be very creative.
thank you for all your reviews Harry. I enjoy your channel so much, you have taught me so much about different pencil crayons and techniques. Much appreciated from Canada.
these seem similar to Derwent Graphitint, which I love. Just started watching, so not sure if you mention that at all, or compare the two.
Thank you so much Eva for your beautiful comment, I really appreciate it, thank you so much. You are absolutely right about the Derwent Graphitint they are very similar. Also I reviewed a set of pencils from Spectrum Noir that are tinted graphite, they are called ColourTint and again, very similar to the Derwent Graphitint and Staedtler Tinted Watercolor Pencils.
I appreciate how much you explain the way you are reviewing products. I trust your decisions, in part because you show both positives and negatives. Thanks
Hi Jean, thank you so much. When I started the channel I told myself that if I was going to review products, it would be for people who wanted to watch the videos and not the companies and with that in mind, I knew no matter what, honesty and transparency was the most important things.
If I liked a product I knew I couldn’t just say I like it, I wanted to show why I liked it and same with if I didn’t like a product.
My priority is you guys who watch the videos. This is why I add 4 parts to my reviews, video review, written review, images of artwork and speed video of artwork, I want to provide as much detailed information as I can. I guess what I am trying to do is allow you guys to look at the product I am reviewing from 4 different perspectives and with all perspectives considered hopefully it helps you to make an informed decision as to whether or not you want to spend your hard earned money on that product. I want to try and give you guys the next best thing to holding the product in your own hand and test it. But my ultimate goal is that one day, The Art Gear Guide will be the most comprehensive art supply review catalogue online.
Another great video I really appreciate all your time and effort that you put in. It is so helpful to me. Your still the best product reviewer 👍😉
I have these. I like them. I agree, the pencil colors should be marked on the pencils. I'm now going to mark mine with tape. Geat idea.
I also agree that their color range feels like somethings missing. I like your idea of yellow ocher.
That's funny...I added a black, white, and yellow ochre to my WC pencil kit, which does include several from this Staedtler set too.
I love the vibrancy of the colors. I would use them for urban sketching projects.
Yeah urban sketching would be perfect for the these pencils, an excellent idea. thank you so much for your support and comment and for checking out the video
Loved your mushroom painting! I would love to try these out against my Derwent Graphitints of which I have the 24 set. These look to be a little less than the Spectrum noir set of 12, which I only see the one set with the seashell on Amazon US. It would be nice to have a set to fill in any color gaps of the Derwent.
Thanks for another great review Harry, please don't push yourself too hard and I wish you a speedy recovery from the C word!
Super review. I really value your videos. I hope Staedtler sees this.
Thank you so very much thank you
Hello Harry, hope get well soon. Nice review like always. I like the Derwent Graphitint. But they didn't have a yellow. I have one Set of spectrum noir colortint. I like the result but you have to work harder to get there. They are little bit scratchy. I look for the other set but I coudn't but it anywhere.
Thanks for this review. I was very curious about these pencils. I ordered the metal tin (from Amazon in 🇩🇪) after seeing your review. I wonder if the lack of yellows can be compensated by mixing these with watercolour pencils in the desired colours (plain yellow or yellow ochre)? I will experiment when mine arrive. Take care if yourself, rest and recover. Don't push yourself to produce "content". You have so much material available...we can always re-watch some "oldies but goodies" 🤭😉while you get better. Take care of yourself.
Great review Harry. I thought you can do the same effect with watersoluble graphite and watercolour pencil
Thanks for this review- I was planning on buying or not. Its very helpful ❤️❤️❤️
awesome :) your picture is really art ... you have used the "lemon-yellow" with many water ...
I think your mushrooms looks very realistic & naturly. very good job Ö.Ö
they can´t mix coal, or graphite with yellow without a greenish looklike.
dark lemon yellow, darkredish, darkgreen, darkblue, purple and so on - we have all this in the set what we need for mixing many colors from the colorwheel, ...
I like all these 12 colors from the darker version of staedtlers bright and colorful watercolor pencils set. is it better then derwent, or from other brands? ... I don´t know, but I know this 12 colors from the tinted watercolor pencils set are a very good option for me in a highly quality and the price is ok for lot of fun with all these artist watercolor pencils.
I ordered these pencils before Christmas and they did come in a tin box...you should ask Staedler for one since you gave them a good review! 🤓😊
I'm a staedtler karat aquarell user since 25 years ago and the company was pulling this stunt off even back then, of not putting the names of the pencils. There was a number code however. ..we either buy the product or not...i really liked their product and put up with the inconvenience...lolol
Tyfs very informative.
Ty for this…mine arrive today…🥰 Can I share a tip…I put the colour on one of those small sticky labels and tape it on with Scotch Tape…I do this with everything I have…am doing the BF520 set like this…Have just finished the Greens…wish me luck only 400+to go..🥰🤣
Rewatching video learned more stuff about theses pencils every time i watch and rewatch this video thank you so much fir doing videos....mikelle art mom🎨✍👩🎨
You can do a swatch and tape it around the end there.
They could have used a mixing white of some kind.
i love these got them not to long ago.
Hi Angela, I am a huge fan of them, I really like them as well. Hope you are well and thank you so much for checking out the video, stopping by and lending your always appreciated support, thank you so much
How well goes these with inktense pencils? I love the inktense, and it appears that these muted colours could go really well with them. Thx for the review, and awesome artwork!
Hello, Does the bar code number differ from pencil to pencil? Sometimes, I found with Staedler Tri Plus pens, the identifier is in the bar codes. Usually the last 2-4 digits are different. This may aid in the process of either numbering the pencils with tape, or just reading the bar codes. Thank you once again for bringing a very detailed review to another product. Take care, best of everything to you and yours.
Yes, they have G2 on tinted cherry, G1 on ivy green.... It shows in the video right after he says he'll come back to the word tinted on the barrel.
I got them (tin box) three months ago and I really liked them. Indeed, the color of the pencil’s cap is not enough for identification but my main concern is that there’s no yellow. Even Derwent Graphitint doesn’t have it!. After all I like Staedtler’s and Derwent’s and they can be blended to any watercolor pencil for a wider range of colors including a yellow-like missing in the sets.
Hi my Miguel my friend, you should also take a look at the Spectrum Noir ColourTint, they have two real nice golden yellows and they are also tinted graphite. I will do a comparison video soon of all three bit.ly/ColourtintTube
@@TheArtGearGuide Thank you Harry. I look forward for the review.
I wish they were rated for lighfastness.
Enjoyed the video although I haven’t gotten into the tinted graphite. Focusing on colored pencil and watercolor. Surprised that Staedler would make such a basic error in their palette choice . A yellow, red , and blue are basic necessities. The split primaries are even better. First thing I learned in understanding color theory. I am accustomed to renumbering my colored and watercolor pencils. Most pencil sets seem to be numbered erratically, so the first thing I do is put them in color order and number them starting with one. Even found a perfect set of stickers that I can apply vertically that are clear and easy to read on Amazon. Found out applying them horizontally makes any number that has three digits unable to be read while in a case or tin.
I understand what you are saying to a certain extent. When I do reviews, I review the product as a standalone product, only because, they are sold as standalone products. Obviously if people who buy the sets have more pencils at home then it is a bonus, but equally there are going to be people who buy the set and don’t have other water soluble pencils at home or other Colored pencils at home.
After all, the first set of Colored pencils that I ever bought, we’re my only set of pencils for a while, and this could be the case for thousands of first time buyers. This simple set of 12 pencils, could be the set that launches an unknown artist to be the most breathtaking artist of modern times.
So all that hypothetical story building aside, to have the very basic colors, yellow red and blue in any set, even a set of six, shouldn’t be too difficult for any company to perform. I know they are not the three Primary colors but I think they are essential to any set. Adding these three colors to a set of 12, still leaves plenty of scope for the remaining 9 colors.
@@TheArtGearGuide - thank you for understanding my point on the three primaries. I have often purchase a 12 set to try out various pencils. It is often less costly than purchasing individual pencils online.The basic 12 set also gives me a range of colors that I can give the pencils a good try out.
I think yellows may be difficult to make as grey and yellow tends to make green.
that was my exact thought. even if they actually made it, our eye probably would read it as a different color. and i think most illustrations with this muted scheme wouldn't use yellow anyhow.
A cost cutting functional fail to not have a similar color ended indicator like Derwent has on the end of the pencils. Love the colors once they're wet. Just not a well thought out package and pencil design.
Wonderful review and I completely agree with you WHY NOT put a name on the pencils? STUPID! I got the Derwent graphitint in the cake form in a regular watercolor palette, I am also trying to decide if I want the Inktense pencils or sticks/cake format! I am just a more of a painter and if I am going to use pencils I would rather use oil or wax! Thank you for sharing this product with us! You are so appreciated, thank you.
Thank you so much for your ongoing always appreciated wonderful support. I think if you are swaying toward the Inktense and you prefer to paint, the blocks would be more your thing. You could always add a small collection of the Inktense pencils at a later date if you thought after using the blocks that the pencils could help you. Thank you so much for you excellent comment and support
You only need scotch tape and paper...
I understand that, but when buy something, hand over your hard earned money for, it’s nice to be able to use it right out of the box and not have to hunt for additional materials. It’s like buying a pair of shoes, opening the box and there not being any laces. Sure you could buy a set of laces and they are not too expensive either, but they should be in the box with the shoes.
I have those pencils and really like them. However I don’t think your review is doing them justice. You spend a long time talking about how there is no color number, when in fact there is. It may not be very obvious but I find this to be the case with other staedler products as well. The color names may not be on the staedler website but there are easy to find online. The pencils are available in tins in Europe, for example at Amazon Germany. Overall, the review seams to be a bit rushed to me, you could have done more research.
Il faut leur inventé des noms de couleurs!!!
