I see a lot of people who love using colored pencils. How many are using the clutch holder with different colored leads. Any favorites on the lead. Any photos to share?

I used the leads that came with my Caran d'Ache Mario Botta and found them to be watercolor leads!:dance3:

I use Staedtler (blue and red) and Koh-i-noor Hardtmuth (blue) ones.

Both have their strength.
I like especially the color and feel of the Koh-i-noor, but they are really brittle.
The Staedtler are also not bad, they are not brittle, a little bit harder and the color is less vibrant.

I published a good number of sketches using them in the Art Gallery thread (in case you are interested to see some results)

I have seen your work, yours and your sons! Excellent work. Thanks for information! Wrote them down and will check them out the next visit to SamFlex.

mh, the koh-i-noor leads are good working for aquarell. (sry for the bad paper)
