Has any one any experience of these pencils. I’m looking for a nice sharp white highlighter. I often use white gouache to highlight but wonder if a pencil would work as well. They have good reviews but I don’t always trust reviews. I trust you lot...well usually. So any thoughts please ?

Hi Sylvia .....I dont know if my Caran Dache Prismalo is the same thing.Its pretty hard and needs a bit of pressure to put a soft highlight on watercolourand its stronger with a bit of wet. I have tried it out on watercolour test brushmarks on rough watercolour paper.and you can see the white on various areas of the scrap paper. Hope this helps. ....Syd

Another good option

Great for highlights in eyes and suchlike, very opaque and covers black completely. only drawback is you cannot create gradients except through cross hatching.

I don't know if they do an white in the inktense pencil range, but I think that might work.
