While all of the options here are great, some of them are pretty expensive. Scrap Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer, any of the Derwent ones and especially Caran D'ache Museum, too expensive. At the moment I'm working on a watercolor pencil review, reviewing all kinds of brands and while these 3 brands are good, they're all overpriced.

As mentioned Koh-I-Noor Mondelux is great and affordable. This one can easily keep up with the more expensive ones. Another good choice could be Faber-Castell Goldfaber, more affordable, but still good.

I personally haven't tried Prismacolor, would love to add them to my review, but they're simply impossible to get here. I'm sure they're fine, but I'm also sure they suffer the same issue as the colored pencils by Prismacolor.....

Which is lightfastness and that's something you may want to keep in mind when buying watercolor pencils. If you buy the wrong ones, they're going to fade sooner then you'd like. Having studied many tests in this area, adding quite some experience as well, I came to a few conclusions. Scrap Derwent, none of their watersoluble stuff is lightfast, even if the claim so, it isn't. According to tests Prismacolors suffer the same fate, along with many of the cheaper brands. Shockingly, you can also add the famous Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer to this list..... if you expose your work in light, especially when sunlight is involved, Albrecht Dürer watercolor will fade much soon then you'd expect.

If lightfastness is an issue, only 3 watercolor pencils will stand the test of time. Bruynzeel Design Aquarel, Caran D'ache Museum and Van Gogh Water Colour Pencils. As mentioned, Caran D'ache is very expensive. Bruynzeel Design Aquarel is good, but.... they're hard to use. Great for detailed work, bad for quick work.

In my experience the Royal Talens Van Gogh Water Colour Pencils are simply the best out there. Pricewise quite cheap, very pigmented, easy to use and simply the best lightfastness on the market. Yes, in that respect they're not equal to the Caran D'ache Museum, no they're superior.

Simple said.... if you want to stay to true to Montessori go with Prismacolor, but you will not get the best and run the risk of faded work in time. You want the best? Try to get your hands on a full set of 60 Royal Talens Van Gogh Water Colour Pencils. Amazon has them, https://www.amazon.com/GOGH-Pencil-colored-pencil-Metal/dp/B0016GMQ0E They're something different. (Oh and ignore that 3 star rating someone gives claiming these are hard, they're definitely not hard at all, they're medium soft, allowing rought and detailed work).
