Linda G.

I am a former graphic designer and took up colouring a couple of years ago after having the bone at the base of my thumb removed. I thought it would be therapeutic, of course it was. My husband gave me a set of Koh-I-Noor colouring pencils and an adult colouring book. I was hooked on using colouring pencils! I went on line to see what other people did and realised that there was a whole world of colouring pencils out there. I was then givens large set of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for Ch...

I saw these wonderful pencils on Facebook. Immediately I was drawn to the amazing choice. I read the excellent reviews and decided to take the plunge and bought the 120 pencil crayons in the tin. Delivery is brilliant, you won't be waiting long. When I received these pencils I was mesmerised at the colours. Couldn't wait to try them out and I wasn't disappointed. They were everything I was expecting and more. In fact I now have the 120 mixed media pack, waiting on the delivery of the past...

A very good product. They blend well.Not quite as soft as my old Karisma pencils but truly excellent for the price. I use them along with inktense blocks for faces. I do like to use a green and a light cream when doing faces and these colours aren’t in the portrait collection but all in all delighted with these high quality pencils at an affordable price.

My husband is the artist in our family. He does loads of paintings both on canvas and on the walls of our home. These paints are very good value.

I have purchased all 10 of the themed 24 pencil sets and am delighted with all the purchases.as I have mentioned in previous reviews, my only criticism is the duplication of colours over the ten sets. Of the 240 pencils purchased I have less than 100 individual colours. I accept that there will always be basic colours required in every set including titanium white and ivory black however it would have been nice to have at least one each of the 120 soft core set of pencils. In spite of that I am ...

As I have already stated, I have purchase all 10 of the themed 24 pencil sets which I am delighted with. Well presented and packaged and great service. I was fortunate to purchase 3 of the sets at the ridiculously low price of £11,99. My only criticism is the duplication over the 10 sets of identical colours. Of the 240 pencils in total I have less than 100 different colours. While I accept there is a need for basics like white and black in every set, I have accumulated 10 of mauve. I have sinc...

I was so impressed with this set that I then ordered the 120 GOLD pencil set with extras. I have just finished reading a fairly in depth review of this set on You Tube and it was extremely positive with a few minor complaints about the layout of the colour swatch chart and the layering properties of these pencils. All in all I am delighted with this set in a canvas case, not a tin. Well presented and packaged although I did rearrange the layout of the pencils in the bag to bring together similar...

Having never used acrylic paint before I can't comment on the quality however if it is up to the standard of Castles pencils I will be delighted. The packaging and presentation is first class and service was excellent. The price was very reasonable and the kit came with lots of literature and helpful advice to get started on the themed topic included with the package.

Alex D.

I have now purchased all ten of the 24 themed pencil selection sets and I am delighted with the quality and presentation. The additional literature which comes with the sets is an added bonus with colour schemes suggested for each of the different themes. If I were to make a criticism it would be for Castle arts to include all 120 of the soft feel pencil set across the ten themed sets. In all I have purchased 240 pencils across the ten themed sets but actually have less than 100 individual colou...

Joy M.

Found the pencils easy to use.Excellent colour range and blended well. If I have a fault, it would be that the white pencil should be softer & more creamy ( not the colour) to use. To blend the spice red with the castle white, wasn’t as easy as when I used the prisma white, but that’s the only gripe I have. This is the first & only picture I have used Castle Arts pencils on. I will certainly be doing more. Book is by Rita Berman— Meine Reise Durch Europa.

I have bought your pencils from when you first started and have all the colour pencil range. They are good. However, a couple of the pencils in this set were a bit 'squished towards the base, maybe in the machinery processing. Your service is excellent, thank you.

I love these gel pens, depending on the paper you use. I'm using 100lb weight and the ink flows beautifully onto the page. I would have given this product 5 stars, but the pastels in this set didn't flow as well as the others and therefore were a bit scratchy to work with. I would still highly recommend them overall, because in my experience all pastel gel pens aren't the best, it must be something to do with the ink itself. I'm yet to try these on black paper, so couldn't say if they work on th...

I would have given these Pastel Tints pencils 5 stars, because they are lovely to work with and blend very well into the Gold pencils. The reason I haven't is, there are not enough colours in this set, so I would have preferred at least 72, if not 120 to match the Gold set, that would have been perfectly complementary to any piece of artwork. That said, I would highly recommend these pencils and have already recommended them to a friend in Australia.

Premesso che sono anni che utilizzo le matite colorate Castle Arts, appena sono venuta a conoscenza di questa nuova linea, l’ho subito comprata. Le ho adorate da subito. Si possono realizzare tanti lavori: colori che creano atmosfere.

I have both the Castle Arts Gold and thee Pasteltints and love the colours and how the pencils lay down. I think the Harmonious set includes some truly beautiful colours which I have swatched and can't wait to use. Will there be other sets in this series? I would love to see some earth tones. Thanks anyway for bringing these beautiful pencils to us.

Nicht alle Stifte haben die gleiche Qualität, leider unterscheidet sich die Wertigkeit der Holzhülse teilweise sehr. Trotzdem ist die Farbpalette grandios und es lässt sich sehr schön mit den Farben zeichnen. Sie sind nicht ganz so weich wie erwartet und sie krümeln leicht aber für den Preis, dürfen sie das auch. Was ich besonders toll finde ist, dass sie sich sehr gut mit Stiften von anderen Herstellern mischen lassen. Eine Tolle Ergänzung zur normalen Farbpalette. Man darf nur nicht vergess...

We did email with a concern that once we put pressure on one of the pencils it snapped straight away and a nib was already broken in the box. We await a response to our email that hasn’t even been acknowledged yet

The set arrived in time and was well packaged so as to preclude it being damaged in transit. I bought this set for my husband and he is thrilled with it as this is an exceptional set. It is in a quality zip-up case and he spent quite some time doing his own swatches and he hasn’t stopped smiling. The pencils are very smooth to apply and beautiful, rich colours. He has several sets of coloured pencils and these are already his favourites. He has so far only used them indoors but we are looking ...

I haven't touched paint or done anything arty since I left school. I needed something to get started and this book is perfect. The drawings are lovely and with the additional suggested coloured examples it's quite easy to follow and create something that looks ok to me

My granddaughter -aged 11yrs old is an avid artist and requested for her Christmas prezzie that I got her some really good pencils so that she can continue her passion of drawing and creating amazing art. A friend recommended you so that’s how this all came about 👍contact me again in the new year for her opinion !!

Ces couleurs douces et atténuées sont vraiment rares dans les sets de drayons de couleur. Parfaites pour des fonds des ciels des paysages nocturnes...Je vais en faire bon usage. J'ai déjà les pastels tint et ils se complètent très bien.Les mines sont tendres et je pense que les résultats seront meilleurs sur un papier légèrement rugueux.Les papiers lisses sont trop vite saturés de cire. Très contente de mon achat je vais acheter les 120 soft touch de castle art pour compléter ma gamme.

I have a full set of Castle art pencils, saw the Harmonious box and absolutely loved the subtlety of the colours. Upon receiving them( in a very short time) I tried them and am delighted with the colours consistency and overall good quality. I also really like the enclosed booklet. More companies should do the same. I went in to buy the Botanical set as Imlove colouring flowers.

Je suis ravie de ma commande. Les crayons sont sublimes ! 2 crayons un peu abîmés, je pense que c'est des défauts de fabrication mais c'est pas gênant. La qualité est top !! J'adore ! La personne du SAV est adorable, aux petits soins et très arrangeante. Je recommande 👍🏻

Ces crayons sont de bonne qualité, avec encore quelques irrégularités dans la mine. Les teintes sont très innovantes, et très facilement miscibles. Ce sont des couleurs que je réserverai aux ombrages et aux couleurs sous la mer. J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à les utiliser. Ce serait bien qu'ils soient ensuite vendus à l'unité car j'ai déjà mangé le "duck egg" que j'adore.

The pencils arrived very quickly! I am thrilled with all the colours. I am working through them very slowly, trying each one in my flowery colouring in book. I will draw with them later, it feels as though Christmas has come early. Thank you 😊

The quality and presentation of the pencils is of a very high standard. There is a wide range of colours and these compliment the other pencil options from Castle Arts.
