Wonderful to use. I was expecting a cheaper quality product, but found myself more than pleasantly surprised. Pigmentation and binder used in the colored pencils gives them a color blending quality similar to some of the more expensive artist brands. This may be confirmation bias, but I believe these colored pencils generally produce less wax bloom when compared to other brands. Castle Arts has a really good product line which I'd love to see expand in the future. There is some variation from c...

This was my first time purchasing from Castle Arts. Their website is easy to navigate and the purchase process was quick and easy. Received the order very fast. There customer service is also excellent. They responded to my support contact immediately and resolved the issue just as quickly. I highly recommend purchasing from them, and I will personally do so again in the future. I purchased the 120 Piece Watercolor Pencil set in the travel case. Really like the color ranges, the pigments are n...

These pencils are amazing! I’m a mid-range artist in my skills sets, but from my little knowledge, and from using prisma colors before, these pencils are just as great (or better). They’re buttery, and just really comfortable to use over all. And don’t even get me started on the range of colors!

I bought these for my teen granddaughter who loves to doodle. She was absolutely thrilled with the choices and the quality. She was so excited she was showing me all the fantastic things she could draw with her new pens. She was talking about how some were metallic, some sparkly, etc.

The pencils are great! They are so smooth, fun to color with. Good , strong pigment. And I'm really impressed with what a nice rainbow of colors there are. I've gotten some colored pencils that go way overboard on one color group from the color wheel, while being stingy with others. I'm really enjoying these pencils! Thanks!

Was using a great brand of pencils, but took up too much space the way they were packaged. Castle has a much better system Was pleased with quality and colors. Price better also

I really love these gel pens! The colors are great. They flow nicely without skipping. Great for coloring, journaling or anything where you want to write with some color. I also bought my granddaughter a set for Christmas and hope she enjoys them as much as I do. I love shopping with Castle Arts, they are an amazing company with great products at reasonable prices.

I bought these pencils for my budding artist granddaughter. I liked the tin because it introduced her to Van Gogh's technique. My daughter says Hailey carries the pencils with her and uses them almost constantly. I am "artsy" and love to share my love of creating with Hailey.

I started coloring during Covid because I was so stressed out. I am a 47 year old mom of 3 kids. This is just what I do while I watch TV at night. Anyway, these are my favorite pencils. I have tried tons of brands, but these colors and the way they color are the absolute best. I can't stand when the pencils get too short and they don't look long and normal, which is probably totally wierd. Anyway, I keep ordering just yours because I love them!

A fantastic organisation! Great cutomer support from beginning to end of the process. By post man’s mistake my package were delivered to the wrong address and I was very upset. Thanks to Ed, who was really understandable, friendly and and went the extra mile at every stage. I did got back my amazing pencils and I would recommend them unreservedly. I think Ed represents among the highest levels of customer service I have experienced. I was also impressed that responses to query were turned around...

Great product. There is a learning curve that falls between Faber Castle and Prismacolor. They feel good in your hand and blend well. A good first impression for this brand.

My Granddaughter is in an Art Academy and I asked her if she could recommend good colored pencils to use for adult coloring and she told me to look into Castle pencils so that’s what I did and I absolutely love them. The colors are true to colors and they blend very easily. They are Fantabulous ☺️

I bought this set to take in a 34 day cruise. I need a sturdy case that will survive 3 plane rides in my carry on and provide a bit of extra room for erasers and sharpeners. This case fulfills my storage needs and seems sufficient to keep the pencils safe while being jostled around on plane flights in overhead bins. I filled out the color number chart and the pencils seem of very good quality.

I purchased one for myself during Black Friday sale. Once I received I had to order more for Christmas gifts along with the sketch books. They were a big hit. I cannot wait to use them. Just what I was looking for high quality pencil and the tin case is beautiful.

Well I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter but liked it so much that I kept it. I did however give her the 120 pencil set. So now I need to get a set for me. It actually hurt to give anything away. I’m such a bad grandma.

About 4 yrs ago I bought your set of 72 pencils. I loved them so much that I instantly write you an email telling you how much better they were than all brands I have bought. Which I had bought so many different kinds and ended up with over 2500 pencils until I found yours! So then I purchased the same set again but for a friend! Last year somebody stole all of them from me. Didn't really have the money to replace them so waited. I am glad I scrimped and saved for the 120 pencil set in the case!...

This coloring book is a real God send right now. My older Sister passed away and my art is a blessed distraction. Ever since we were little lids we had colors and coloring books and this one is my favorite ever. Also, being a former landscaper (my favorite professional endeavor) I love flowers. This book is quite something. I also love how easily it will be to frame them.

I will never order from your company again!!!! It took five weeks to get here you have horrible customer service. I will not recommend your company anyone. What a shame the coloring book is amazing and I'm just sorry that you failed to deliver it in a timely manner!

I love Castle Arts pencils, I have every set except themed sets. I love the quality of the Soft Series and the price point is great and the Gold Series are able to get fine details since they are oil based. Also customer service is amazing.

Had to refine the tips for fine details, but pencils showed up in great condition. The pigments are rich, and you do have to be gentle with using them. They don't need much pressure to lay down a nice layer of pigment. I used water to blend and burnish, even without the water, the colors blended well, I used another pencil set for burnishing without water. They work well with the other pencil sets I have. I have wax and oil based pencils that were used with them and it definitely looked very nic...

I recieved the 120 set with zipper case (incredible layout BTW) AND unexpectedly the 72 piece tin set for Christmas. I am so happy to have both now because I believe these will be the first set of colored pencils I will ever use up completely. They are excellent to work with and the colors are so vibrant and full, I barely have to layer to get the solid color I am looking for.

I saw this on Facebook and ordered it. It came within about a week. Ihave looked through it several times. I purchased this with the idea that when I’m in a dry spell, I can use this for inspiration. I plan to purchase anther copy as a gift. I showed it to a painting friend and she liked it so much that she plans to order one for herself. Finally, I have decide yo order the oil based pens to use with. Thanks again.

I ran across the advertisement online. I checked out the website and I liked what I saw. I subscribed to it and then I started ordering the products. I haven't used the products yet, but I will. I had asked this question before, will the company sell other art products like (an easel, paint brushes etc.)? I really do appreciate the delivery of my order in a timely manner ( expeditiously). You all have excellent products, excellent tutorials to help your customers in whatever they're trying to a...

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 seen the products before and hope one day to buy them. The sale I seen on Facebook feed got my attention and decided to look. I own many types of pens from other companies. So I looked and liked the sale and decided to order some pens. Recieved them fast and tried out the Metallic pencils. Loved how they worked.

I LOVE the Gold series. They are so creamy and easy to blend. I'm thinking of getting the regular pencils for paper that has less tooth. Great product at a spectacular price!
