I love my Castle colored pencils. The colors go on smooth and blend nicely. I have pencils from a more expensive major brand and I prefer the Castle pencils! It’s makes all the difference when you have a product you really look forward to working wit.

This is a great colored pencil set for anything nature related, with earth tones and a few bright saturated tones. These pencils have a great hue to them overall. The pencils glide very smoothly on the paper and blend very easily. I messed around with blending and smudging the color around with gamsol and it works pretty well. Overall I'm very impressed with the quality of the pencil sturdiness and endurance. Highly recommended for anyone who is a serious artist or just want to have fun.

Purchased this set for my 12 yr old niece who is very talented and loves to draw. I also picked a set up for myself. I have been working with her on tonal values and contrasts and not being afraid to 'go darker'.. Once she started using the softer graphite (the Bs) she really got the hang of it and is really enjoying them. Too shy to show her own work, so here's a fun lil Halloween sketch of mine. Love the product, love the tin case to keep them in. Only one suggestion, please ad a small kneaded...

I love the colors and the feel of the pencils. However, I do have one complaint. There should be a handle of some kind so that it is easier to carry the case. Adding a handle would definitely be something worth looking into.

These pencils are a joy to usE. I do a lot with colored pencil art but these watercolor pencils are extremely handy when I need watercolor. They fill in spaces well, and are fun to use.

I love these! They are new to me but now have a beloved spot next to my tubes and palettes. 120 colors make a very specific color (perfect pinks or flesh tones) easy peasy!

I shop on Amazon and liked the description of the item and the price was also good. So I purchased the color pencils ( quite a while ago) then when they arrived, not only did I love the product I have since the first time bought more! I saw the included pamphlet and decided to join the castle art community!

I had been looking at these for a while on Amazon. When you had a sale on them on your site, the price was unbelievable so I pounced. Shipping was fast and the pencils arrived in perfect condition. Not one broken tip. The colors are lovely and distribute well in water. I will definitely be shopping with Castle Arts again. Thank you!

The quality of these pencils is awesome. Easy to use, sharpen easily. My only complaint is that there are not very many lighter and/or brighter colors. However, I do recommend the metallic pencils!

Expressing with color constitutes a form of mindfulness, a meditation for my spirit. These gel pens came professionally packaged and organized. You can see for yourself the brilliance of color they possess.

Just a sketch book first attempt at a portrait from the instruction pamphlet. Perspective is off a bit, but I learned a lot. I can't wait to get going on more portrait work.

I absolutely love my pencil kit, it came with so many items that I had no idea even existed. I don’t draw on a regular basis but this kit has me really excited to start my next drawing and just experiment with all these new options and see how much farther I can take my artistic ability and now possibly “abilities”. SKIES THE LIMIT NOW!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I truly love the wide variety of colors. Good sturdy pencils .... they do not break when more pressure is applied. When they arrived, I began experimenting with the vast array of shades to help my creative thoughts to get started. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Absolutely beautiful pencils. I love how they are soft pencils so it doesn't bother my arthritis to use these. I only wish they had more of a lighter range but I have also bought the pasteltint set and the watercolor pencil sets. Beautiful colors, nice cases and budget friendly. Highly recommend these. Castle arts is becoming a favorite brand. I plan to buy more sets ❤️

Colors are rich, and the pencils don’t break when you sharpen them. The pads are fun to doodle on and make up shapes, dream of cool stuff, then use the awesome selection of colors to color it in

This was the first page done with my new CastleArts Soft Touch pencils and I absolutely love how well they lay down on Amazon paper. There's not many that I can say that about. Awesome pencils!

I purchased the Gold Series color pencils during an excellent sale. I have tried oil-based color pencils before and have had mixed experiences, even with expensive recognized-brand products. In the media its also hard to figure out what the benefit is, some say oil based pencils are softer than wax based, others say more vibrant but harder... my own experience is that it depends more on the brand than on the product. I tried the regular Castle Arts color pencils previously and had recently bou...

I am enamored with this set!! This is my fourth set of Castle Arts Colored Pencils and I finally got the bright corals and turquoises that I wanted. About half of the colors are really too pale, but the ones I like, I really like. Really happy with this set. I also have Kandinsky, Metallic, and 120 Soft Touch. I am so enjoying my revived hobby!

I’ve never gotten anything as fast as I got your pencils . The colors are amazing. You get a place to fill in colors so u know what they look like on paper. The zippered case is great. Wished it had a handle though. They are rich in color. Very nice! I want to get pastel colors next!! But for now 120 pencils will suffice. Thanks for such a great product!!!

I brought the watercolor pencils into the studio. i love the smooth lay down and the richness in color when water is applied. This set is great as a gift as it comes with 2 waterbrushes and samples of papers to use with them. I was so thrilled with these in the studio that a bought an extra set to give away at our gallery artists reception to thank the guest... I knew they were great but the artists who won them also expressed their gratitude for turning them onto the most wonderful watercolor p...

I have loved every single Castle Art product I have purchased & I have purchased a lot. These gel pens are fabulous. I rarely have used gel pens but when these run out, I will buy them again. I wish my scanner picked up the metallic because this Lobster turned out beautiful. Keep up the great work !!

I ordered this, along with other items. It came on time. Packaged well. These pencils are a joy to use. The sets take the guess work out of finding complementary colors for me. Great value for the money. Cracked woodcase of one pencil didn't dimish its use.

These colored soft touch pencils are a joy to use. They glide on your paper. So many of each color to shade n and depth. I bought the huge set in a zippered case. I’m enjoying these along with the pastel set

Love their products! I had a little issue and they did not hesitate to correct it and make it right, when they made it right they went way above and beyond! These are the only products I use and I am a novice, not an artist whatsoever just a coloring book enthusiast... I bought four products from them since December of 2021. Excellent excellent 🤗

The ads kept tempting me and I broke down and got these and I am really glad that I did! These pastel colors are gorgeous and they are so smooth! I love them! The carrying case is nice and the set comes with a tutorial book, color swatch card, color and product guide, white cartridge paper sketchbook, black paper sketch pad, a how to illustration booklet on how to draw the Snow Queen and a Bristol board sketchbook.

I found you on Amazon and I have bought almost all the pencil sets you have to offer. I love the wat the pencils color. I did have problems with the first order of the Gold but you quickly resolved the problem by sending me a new set. You are the best.

Starting to draw after many years. Wanted to try colored pencils. When looking at different brands they were very pricey. Chanced upon a Castle Arts sale and bought the metallic set. Very smooth and great color, so I made 2 more purchases. I have colored my swashes and the colors are fantastic. Used my metallics, for my 1st drawing in years and it looks pretty good. Can't wait to use this set, feel great in my hand and again the colors are very vivid. The icing on the cake is the price! Give'm a...

After seeing many beautiful posts on social media of pictures brought to life with watercolors I wanted to expand my coloring opportunities to include them. My normal "go to" medium is Castle Art wax pencils so I decided to try the Castle Art watercolors and wasn't disappointed. As with all mediums there is a learning curve and room for improvement but overall I was very happy with the end results of my first attempt using them. They come in a nice case, there is a good variety of colors and ...

Product is as described, good quality, comfortable to hold, ink flows smoothly and there is a very good variety of colors. The well constructed packaging is wonderful as pens can be easily viewed when left in it comes in. The package stands up nicely for easy access to each pen and folds for storage. I would definitely recommend this product and would purchase as gift or for self.

I had not gotten into coloring books before a month ago, but my daughter, Jessica Lea Campbell, is creating and selling coloring books on Amazon so I bought one of each and decided that I would try the gel pens. I love using them since they are so bright and colorful. I use the pencils sometimes also.

I’m learning how to use these. I use to draw as a young person and am getting back into it after a few decades of sabbatical😂… so these are really fun to go crazy with. I got a mini water color pad that is 140 lb (300 gsm) so I can do focused studies of specific subjects or techniques I want yo improve. It’s very exciting to test out the colors and effects. I got the 120 watercolor pencil set. It’s addictive. I would give this to anyone who likes watercolor pencils. The colors are rich and brill...

I’m in New Zealand and Its very expensive to get pencils here. I was lucky to get the 120 soft touch via the Easter sale which meant i could afford to ship them to NZ. Ive just swatched them out and done some blending tests and i REALLY like these pencils. They are harder than my Black Widows and hold a point very well. Gorgeous rich colours esp in the pink and Purple families. Easy to sharpen in my dahle 133. My new favourite pencils! Glad i took a chance on them.

I absolutely love these pencils. I have been an ink, watercolor and colored pencil artist for a long time. Recently I had hit a horrific and VERY long case of creative art block. I started to pick up adult coloring books as a creative outlet and a way to play with color while I waited for inspiration. I love my high end pencils but I do not have the wallet capacity to shell out for enough to color as much as I want to. I had found some amazing budget sets of oil based pencils, but I couldn't f...
