I found Castle Arts products through Social Media & so glad I did...as a crafter & Design Team Member, I rely on good quality products. Unfortunately a lot of these products are just affordable to me but with Castle Arts, I get that same great quality but at a price I can afford. The set of 120 colouring pencils I bought are fabulous to use, the lay down really smoothly & blend really well too, which for me is important. I also bought the set of 12 graphite/drawing pencils, same thing, smooth &...

I have discovered I can now draw since sustaining a brain injury and was gifted this Castle Arts sketching set and the sketch pads as I was needing something to help me relax. This is a sketch I have done with the set. I have zero experience in drawing so can’t really compare the pencils to any other pencil brands. This set I have found has more than enough included and is extremely easy to use and the quality seems really good. I am eager to learn how to use the other bits included in the set. ...

These pencils are a dream to work with. I use pencils on canvas on top of acrylic paint layers and these were easy to blend. The variety of colours is excellent. Absolutely my favourite brand. Highly recommend for all artists out there!

Was looking for pastel coloured pencils and bought a small set of Holbein only 12. They are so expensive so I thought to try the pasteltint and I am so pleased with them. They were much less expensive and though not quite as easy to lay down as Holbein they are a very close second.

I am a complete learner, having lessons, and heard many people talking about the importance of using quality materials. I looked around the internet and read about many groups but then found Castle Arts who were 'listening' to their customers, so I bought a tin of 120 soft touch pencils, they are beautiful to hold and use, and increase my enjoyment. As I've grown in confidence a little I bought these pencils which are also beautiful, blend well and a pleasure to use. The Castl...

I was a bit sceptical because they seemed so cheap but I have to say that they are brilliant and lots of lovely colours. Very easy to use and they didn't break when I needed to sharpen them. Overall I am very impressed.

I bought this set because for 120 pencils it was incredibly good value for money. I did not own a set this large and I have been digging out my colouring books again. They arrived really quickly and I got colouring straight away. I was genuinely pleased with the amount of pigment they leave on the paper and the way they glide over the paper, they blend together easily and the vast choice of colours and tones is a real treat. I have already recommended these pencils to my mum.

Richeard B.

Although not as white as some papers, this is still a decent amount of paper for the price, and it is of a good quality too. It isnt so smooth that pencil crayons cant get a bite, nor too rough so that pencil crayon colourings look absolutely speckled like a pheasant egg lol. As can be seen from my experiments, it is an overall good mixed media paper. If stretched beforehand, will make a very good watercolour paper. As they do with many weights of paper, alcohol markers do bleed through, so do b...

The coloured pencils are actually decent! It takes a bit of getting used to, but I think they're an excelent alternative to prisma colour or polychromos. Be patient when layering them, I would recommend a good quality paper (tan if possible) as they seem to be a bit shiny when layering on normal paper.

New to the world of colouring and wanted some good quality pencils with a decent range of colours for a reasonable price. Got these in the sale so I was very pleased and ended up buying more as a gift.

These pencils are fantastic. My 9 year old granddaughter loves them too. And i like the colour chart so i can see exactly how they look b4 i put them to paper. Added bonus was the excellent sale price.

Love these pencils!! Great quality and blendability. Only downside I would say is that I read on the FAQ that they do not sell the colours individually which is a shame as I know I will run out of white sooner rather than later! Great purchase though and excellent value for money, would definitely recommend.

These are the 4th set of pencils I have purchased of Castle Arts pencils and love them. Nice and smooth and blend well. The scanned colouring doesn't do justice to the colouring. Lovely pencils

Ive only just started colouring so this is all new to me but my experience so far is these pencils are wonderful. Hardly any pressure is needed, the colours are bright, vivid and full of pigment and they blend so beautifully. Im very happy with my purchase The only downside i would say is the colour selection. I purchased 120 colours and i dont feel there is enough variety. Maybe i would have been better off buying the 72 pack as it looks like theres a large selection that was added to 'pack o...

I ordered the Castle Arts Gold 120 piece pencil set in pencil case during the boxing day sales, I already own the Castle Art Soft touch 120 piece set and was excited when I saw they had developed an oil based set of pencils so when they were in the sale I treated myself! When my pencils arrived sadly the exterior packaging was beaten up where the courier had treated my parcel without care and my pencils arrived with most of the cores shattered :( I contacted Castle Arts who were fantastic, they ...

a good selection of colours and effects, and a decent price for so many pens of this quality. my only let down is that my classic green pen, although full of ink, does not work too well, if at all for the most part.

After a ten year hiatus I'm back to creating Art and I've never been more excited about it now I've got this kit! This kit and 3 other excellent Castle Arts products. I'm really looking forward to seeing Castle Arts expand their product range over the coming years and plan to be a lifelong loyal customer!

I found your products by an advert but cannot remember whereon. I am absoluttely delighted with the presentaion and quality of the Soft Colour Wax Pencils so much so that I have just received my second order for the Watercolour Pencils. I have only briefly sampled them today and they are of equally impressive quality as the Soft Touch Pencils. BRAVO Castle Arts - there will be more orders I am sure and when I have completed a masterpiece I intend to join your club and upload the picture!

After initial problems with delivery which led me to wait an extra 2 weeks for my product, I finally got my Castle Arts Pencil Set. I'm glad to say, it was worth the wait. I am pretty new to coloured pencils, but found a few of the adult colouring books I liked. After trying my best with cheap, scratchy pencils, I decided to have a go with something of a better quality. The reviews led me to these Castle Arts pencils, and I am very happy with them. They are very smooth, without falling to bits, ...

Lovely set! I chose a pastel set with 48 pencils. It works like a dream- smooth, almost unbreakable and super sharp. We did a lot of pictures over Christmas period and we enjoyed it very much. Now I am keeping my eyes on a Metallic set and I am sure it will be as good as this one if not better. Love these crayons…I have some other companies and these are far more superior.

I love how nice these are to use and the pigment is great. I have had a few that have gotten shorter quite quickly due to breakage, but that may be down to the softer cores.

I love coloring with these. The colors are bright and they are so soft. My mum uses them too, she has arthrosis and these allow her to color without having to put too much pressured on her hands. She loves them too.

Would like to have an option to replace individual colours. Otherwise the product is excellent. Bought the 120 gold set and 48 Pastel tints. Absolutely excellent. The range of colours and the quality is impressive. The order of the colours in the gold set is rather strange. I had to rearrange them to make it work for me.

Finally settled in to do an actual picture after months of play with colour, this set really gives some excellent tones when blending and is a must for anyone wanting to push past the average 12 pk.

The charcoal and graphite are good for drawing and mark making especially as you get a hard, medium and soft to use which has given more variety and interest to my artwork. Very pleased with my purchase as I got it when it was on sale so feels like a worthwhile purchase.

It is gorgous! The pencilsare buildable easily and I could paint it for portrait as well other than animals that offering with wide range of color choices. Love it! It is comparable with the high class brand. It has high cost efficiency. Highly recommended to users especially you are the beginners. I will definitely order another set in GOLD series if I will be offered with 20% discount.

I bought 120 set of colouring pencils as well as set of 40 sketch pencils, both in cases. It is birthday gift for my son, who will be 11 soon and just started his drawing/ colouring adventure. As he has small sets when i spot those one i ordered them. Both look as on pictures, great price ( cheapest comparing eith other sellers), great package. Not tested yet as gift, i ordered another sets in tins for my other son, who loves collecting things. The choice of colours shades is very various.

I saw this set on Amazon. Looked at a few reviews, then went and had a look on the Castle Arts UK website to find that they were cheaper. So thought I would give them a go. I have just started my journey into colouring and do it as a mindful exercise. I have found these pencils to be a nice soft pencil that lay down extremely well and blend easily. Love the case they came in as it's easy to keep everything in order. The customer service, I have to say was exceptional. I ordered the item and in l...
