4. I agree, and

you can make your work look like watercolor, pastel or oil with them.

6. Absolutely!

I've been using prismacolor since I first discovered them, way back in 1986! I still use them to this day, even did a portrait on canvas paper that turned out like an oil painting! Only be careful you don't drop them because the color line may break inside the wood of the pencil and you'll never be able to sharpen it again! Other than that, very good product!

8. Staedtler Watercolour Pencils

I've had them for years and can't recall exactly what they cost me, but they are expensive. I have a pack of 48.

But beautiful. You can use them as pencil or add water on a brush and turn to watercolour. Lovely to work with, they are one of my treasures.
