I have similar quality pencils, but I only gave 72. This set of 120 gives me a wider range of colors to use, as I’m no too good at combining and shading colors to get the proper shading’s in 3D effects.

First time I have tried Castle pencils. I like the quality and colors. Unfortunately, I had one pencil missing and a duplicate of another color. I reached out to Castle, their reply was "they sold the pencils as sets and could not replace the missing color"after they asked for a picture of the set with the duplicate. I complied and asked if I could get a small discount on a future purchase. Their last response was that a small discount was possible...I guess they are still thinking about it.

This is the second set of pencils I have ordered from Castle. Both times I have been delighted with rapid shipping, great product, and the high quality of the product. I haven't had a chance to really use the new set as I just received it. However, the watercolor pencils I ordered before are wonderful. I have used them in a couple of commission pieces and rate the quality up there with any I have used. Thank you Castle for such good service and high quality product. I have already recommended y...

Love this set. The colors are gorgeous and I especially like that there are no duplicates with my other Castle Arts sets. The Harmonious set works brilliantly with the Metallic set. Just finished my first project combining the two. Very pleased. Hope you offer open stock soon.

Your company is a "FIRST CLASS ACT" all the way around! The only suggestion I would have is to make tags for the zippered pencil cases. I have to unzip them to know what's inside. But, I will make my own tags to attach to the end of the zipper so I can tell at a glance what is inside. I happen to be a card maker, so I have a paper punch I will use to cut out metal tags made of aluminum cans and will decorate the tags with sharpies. I know they will turn out really cute. If I could figure...

I have several sets of colored pencils from Castle Arts, Derwent, Faber Castell and Prismacolor. I am currently using a linen paper and the quality and the colors in this Harmonious collection is unbelievable. I am definitely going to order a second set.

The face of Freda Kahlo comes to life with these pencils. The layering makes getting the different tones in the face easier, especially for a intermediate artist like myself.

I have been a Castle Art customer for a while and have been very happy with every product I have purchased. I bought many things, some for myself and others as gifts for my nephews. No item has become a disappointment. Everyone enjoys the quality of the products and I have purchased practically all of them.

My wife loves these color pencils and she can't wait to get the other sets. The only downside, several of the pencils when being sharpened seem to be made of different wood and no matter what sharpener she uses, it chops them up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to possibly help pencils not get chopped up worse.

I have several sets of your products . I like the cloth cases as well as the trays for the colored pencils. They keep the pencils organized and easy to find. I have used the pencils for a short period of time just to see the colors. i have not done any projects yet but will in the future when I have available spare time to focus on blending etc…..

I had been working in welded steel for 30 years when I received A diagnosis of cancer and underwent a lot of chemo. I was unable to practice welding any further. I was asked to make a Mandela in a therapy session. I purchased a set of Castle Arts pencils at my local Art Store and I realized that I could work in this medium. That was seven years and many pencil sets ago.

CastleArts WaterColor Color Pencils, 72 piece in Zippered Case review: (This ended up being long, but I always like when reviewers give lots of detail.) While selecting these, I looked on Amazon and CastleArts to compare prices & read reviews. Reviews are plentiful & high-rated. They are oddly less expensive on CA's website, and had a free shipping offer, so I was glad to be able to support CA. The zippered case is similar to other kit cases I have, and will give a nice look upon a shelf, as ...

I have purchased around 12 products from Castle Arts, finally figured out where I could by them directly from Castle. Love them all and use watercolor and soft core pencils, gouache, watercolors and graphite pencils. I do custom portraits of dogs, cats and horses. Excellent products. I just wish they had lamp black and titanium white pencils in every set. Ivory black doesn't have the boldness of a black black...
