I bought the Botanical set, I thought those would be perfect for my artwork. I loved them so much I bought the large set. They have such a smooth texture, a treat to use!

I use the pencils to color Christian bookmarks and they work beautifully. All of the pencils work well. I have bought some that you can only use a few out of the whole package. But love these!!

I'm addicted to my art. I sketch at least one piece a day, some days as much as 5. I've already gone through almost both these sketch books, they work great for both pencil and colored pencil sketches. Ild buy them again for sure.

I love them. They work great for my art needs. I do at least one piece a day, sometimes up to five. The only thing I don't like is the core has a habit of breaking, to the point it's sometimes hard to sharpen them even with a hand sharpener especially the black. My black is already a third of what it was when I got the set, maybe even less. I'm going to have to check into if you can buy colors individually.

I saw an ad on Facebook for your coloring pens. I was looking for a nice, big set. that these have a nice plastic case for them is an added plus. So, I decided to get the set. I really am glad I did. I enjoy them so much, I got a second set, so I won't run out o f them. It was also a good thing the shipping was fast, too. I'm actually looking forward to getting an other set soon.

These gel pens are the smoothest pens I have used in a long time. The colors are extraordinary!! The ink does not bleed through on this poster paper. Excellent quality and superb colors!!

Rashelle R.

Absolutely LOVE this set. I love the colors, but I wish you would add the blues for the yes and better greens too. Also even thoughing the tins are cool and pretty to look at, they pop open often and spill the pencils out. Also the tins dont travel well to het them yo the customer either, which of course causes breaks in the core

I needed a new set of colored pencils, but with health restrictions, was unable to go to the craft store. I was delighted to see this set at a reasonable price. Delivery was prompt, quality was great. If I am sent another 50% off deal, I will buy more!

Castle Arts Acrylic paints are my favorite! Beautiful Vibrant thick body paints are so Nice! I am new to Acrylic painting and I have experimented with many brands and at this point and Castle Art Surpasses them by far. Thank you for making such a great product!

There seems to be a good pigment load, which makes strong beautiful colors. The pencil cores make a creamy lay down that covers completely on good paper. There is a broad range of colors in each hue section. Excellent quality for the price. They may not have the highest lightfast rating, but I use products (which are more affordable when I save resource money buying Castle Arts pencils) to increase the lightfastness. I use a Caran D’Ache blender pencil, which increases lightfastness by 10%. I us...

I am no an artist, I have R.A., lupus and Emphysema so this something that I can use to combat pain. I also bought gel pens and watercolor pencils. I’ve only used the colored pencils and they are wonderful. I’m going to watch a lot of YouTube videos before I tackle the rest.so far I have only good things to say. Mary Z.

Although I have everything that’s in this, I was looking for a carrying case I could have these items altogether and easy to take outdoors. This case is perfect for that purpose.

I really enjoy how the Gold series lays on the paper, and also using the soft touch along with the gold for unique pictures. As they have some variations in color.

I don’t use paint pens often, but these are amazing compared to other brands I’ve used. I used them for shrinky dinks and they have great coverage on the plastic sheets.

I found these ad as I was looking in Amazon for something less expensive than Prisma but of better quality than Crayola. Crayola kept breaking. I tried these and they ate fantastic. High quality, smooth strokes, vivid colors, stays sharp.

The 120 colors watercolor pencils are all rich, fantastic colors. A great selection of gradients of colors, making it easier to smoothly shade from one color to the next. Smooth, silky flow while working with with the pencils. Given the right sharpener very long, sharp points can be obtained in order to do very fine detail work

I own several sets of Castle Arts colored pencils, and I wanted to give the gel pens a try. Turned out to be another great product! Other than about a few white or very light (grey) pens, I found the color assortment to be varied and bright. I’m sure the white and light grey pens would be nice on dark paper, but I prefer white or off-white paper. Definitely recommend these pens; they are a great value and lots of fun!

I bought the Urban set and the Van Gogh set (on Amazon). These pencils were smooth and easy to work with, good quality. I especially like the illustrated, step-by-step, cover art tutorial to get started. Easy to follow. Instant pencil play.

I colored this with Floral Watercolors and the Seascape set of colored pencils. The paper was an inexpensive, just for fun, all ages coloring book. The pencils were wonderful; surpassed the circumstances. Now I’m hungry.

These watercolors have a good amount of pigment, and are a good consistency. I'm using them for an art class, but have used watercolors before, and these are very good quality.

I wanted color pencils that colored well and these are perfect. 120 pencils In a case. I love how easy it is to blend. I was happy to have a palette. It makes it so easy to choose the colors you want. Very satisfied with my purchase and would order again.

Rakel F.

I love these colored pencils! They lay down very smoothly and are easy to have full, even coverage without streaking. They are similar to Prismacolor pencils but I think I love them even more. I bought the 72 set on amazon and then turned around and bought the 120 set that was on sale. Super great quality and value, I'm hooked!

This is the third tin I’ve recently purchased of the 120 count of Premium Soft Touch Pencils. I have two tins of the Pasteltints, as well, as I do not want to run the risk of needing backups and not having them. I have a large cache of various brands of colored pencils, including more expensive brands, and the Castle Arts are my favorites across the board! The cores stay sharp and aren’t so soft that they crumble. They sharpen smoothly and quickly, and so far, the quality of wood that they’re ...

I bought these colored pencils on sale and the price was amazing! They color really smoothly and the colors are super vibrant. I almost bought the 72 pack but am glad I got 120. I love them a lot and even just scribbling they fill in pretty well. I'm excited to try them for mandala coloring.

I am in love with these pencils! They put down really well and blend even better. The range of colors is wonderful - so many different colors and not the same old versions of other brands. Very unique. Have used them for my WIP of Johanna Basford’s Ivy and the Inky Butterfly and they were amazing for the background (wall) and the browns are awesome for furniture. I can’t wait to finish! Thanks, Castle Arts!

It took 12 days to get to me which I didn’t like but after it finally got here it’s great. The colors are SO vibrant, these are easily the best colored pencils I’ve ever used. They’re creamy and hold their point forever! I can color for a long time before having to sharpen it, I’ve only had one tip break from pressure (I got carried away).

I was doing research on different art brands (I was a huge prismacolor fan) and Castle Arts popped up. After reading many reviews on Castle Arts website, I decided to give ‘em a try.

Less expensive than Prismacolor, but just as creamy. Cores don’t break like Prismacolor. Caran D’Ache blender adds 10% lightfastness. Spraying colored pencil works with UV fixative also protects works. I love the Artists Collections with vibrant selected colors. And step-by-step cover tutorial. Yes! These pencils are good workable quality, affordable, and fun. My little peach drawing was an experiment. Pencils were great; the background coated with clear gesso was too rough. My mistake; alwa...
