Wanted to try Acrylic paint, no idea how it works or how to use it but out of the tube I produced these 3 paintings. I am going to keep practicing until I can produce something to hang on my wall!

J'ai commandé l'ensemble avec le pack 120 crayons gold, 120 crayons soft touch, 50 crayons mettalic, 50 crayons pastel, et des blocs à dessin. Tout est bien arrivé, mais le colis était très fatigué, sans impacte sur les crayons. Pas encore tout testé, mais la qualité est bonne dans son ensemble. J'ai beaucoup apprécié les 3 petits carnets à dessin glissé dans 3 des 4 housses de crayons (pas présent dans la housse des 120 crayons soft touch, je ne sais pas si c'est un oublie ou normale). Donc au ...

This is the first time i have used oil based pencils. I normally use water colour pencils. These gold range pencils are softer than I am used to, but I love them. I got the feel for them really quickly. They blend beautifully and are easy to layer to create other shade combinations. You can sharpen them too a nice point for fine detailing or leave them blunt to give a softer look. In the 120 set there are a couple of colours that have a sparkle to them… which I adore. Based on these, I will be...

I’ve always used paint for most of my artwork and have only just started using pencils. So far I’m very pleased with the results. This is my first drawing using the gold range, the colours are so vibrant on the dark paper, it’s amazing! I’ve recently bought a couple of other brands of pencils too, some cheaper and some more expensive, but these ones are definitely my favourite. I’ll be buying more in the future, for myself and for my mum as I’m trying to get her drawing again. I think she will l...

The photo is work in progress using Castle Art Gold 120 collection. They blend so effortlessly, making them really easy to use. A wonderful set of amazing shades. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone, whether an accomplished artist or even if you are just starting out as they are well worth every penny and so affordable.

These pencils come in a tin or a good quality zip up case. The pencils lay down a smooth rich colour, easy to blend and layer. The quality is really good and the enclosed Swatch chart is ver handy and along with some instructual documents including a really handy advice guide produced by in house artist. I love the vibrant colour saturated pigments which add to the pencils smooth performance. All in all I loved the set, I have already bought a set for my wife for her adult colouring books. Highl...

These pencils are soft and creamy in a good variety of colours. Easy to blend and enjoyable to use. They seem to be sharpening without breaking but I guess only time will tell. For the price point they’re really excellent. I got mine at a sale price of £20 for 72.

I have been looking for watercolour pencils for a while now, for ease of use and to make it easier to create on the go. I’m not disappointed, they are highly pigmented, blend well and are a super choice of colours.

Just started colouring with pencils and this is a lovely book to start with. Some of the line art could be more subtle as some is a bit heavy (orchid for example) but this doesn't detract from the experience. Very good quality paper and reference pictures. Really enjoying using it and the gold pencils and happy to recommend.

I am always on the look-out for new colouring media and I kept hearing and seeing rave reviews for Castle Arts products so I thought I would try the Soft Touch colour pencils for myself. I am not disappointed. They are creamy and smooth and lay down colour so well that these are now my firm favourites! They are lovely to hold and sharpen really nicely too (and I have only one out of the whole 120 that appears to have a smashed core and keeps breaking). Really, really happy with my purchase. ❤

After several recommendations I went with Castle as a mid range price wise, sale price was excellent, but above all the confidence I gained from using good quality has inspired me to take my sketching hopefully to a new level. Next order will be next month, got to build up my range Thank you

I already use Castle Art watercolour paints but wanted the pencils to create finer detail and have a greater colour choice. Absolutely love them and at half price in your sale an absolute bargain. I’m a very happy customer.

I ordered the pastel tints alongside the metallics and I was not disappointed. Beautiful pencils of great quality and so velvety smooth to use and easy to layer the colours. Best pencils I've had!

Castle Arts appeared in my Facebook feed and I was drawn by the metallic pencils for my artwork. The pencils are lovely. Really smooth, good depth of colour and a nice metallic sheen. Just what I wanted. These are really good quality pencils and, they arrived well packaged and in perfect condition!

Donna J.

Absolutely love these pencils! Some of the colours have a lovely buttery pigmentation, laying down smoothly into the paper grain and blend really well. They are also capable of a nice smooth gradient simply by altering applied pressure; the lightest touch still yields colour and firmer pressures work a lovely depth of colour, especially with the blues and greens. There are more expensive artist pencils out there, but for the price point, Castle Arts pencils are excellent value for money. And th...

This set has a great selection of shades. The colour goes on the paper well and blends together, minimising hard boundaries between shades (unless you want them). Will be telling others about them.

I love these. The colours are soft and pleasant. I've worked through the ice queen portrait and then used on the mandala colouring book. They come together and layer brilliantly. I can't fault them.

Brilliant colouring pencils. I love the colour selection and the protective case. Even though I do not colour out and about the zipped case makes sense to me. Very vibrant colours when compared with soft touch coloured pencils.

Love these pencils. Amazing quality and a lovely range of colours. Blend really nicely. They have a harder core than the soft touch pencils, which I prefer as you can place more layers and it can make your bleding look smoother. Customer service was also top quality

These pencils are very exude quality, I Love the smooth highly pigmented colours and the smooth way that they lay on several types of paper. These are pro quality pencils at a hobbyist price. I also Love the fact that they are a UK company, so any issues can be handled quickly and efficiently while supporting the UK economy, they are beautifully presented with swatch sheets and fantastic user instructional guides. I can't believe the quality for the price, I will definitely buy more, the compan...

These pencils which are the Gold collection are lovely. I’m new to “proper” colouring with layer build up after doing an online colour course with landscape, object, portrait colouring. My first castle art picture isn’t the best colouring which is me but will give me a comparison as my skills improve. Some of the realistic colouring on social Media with these pencils which are a great quality product are amazing.

I’ve never used these before. I’m a colour blind artist so having the benefit of seeing all the colours laid out in order really helps me. Many people at the local art club really like the look of them too so I expect they’ll get some soon.

I first bought the 24 pencils box, but found the need to mix colours resulted in slightly duller colour. With this range the colours remain vibrant and the picture is finished more quickly.

I was looking for a quality set of colouring pencils at a great price and Castle Arts was recommended in an artist’s blog post. After a quick and easy search of the Castle Arts’ website I found this set of 72. I particularly wanted a set in a presentation case. It’s easy to find the colour you want and the case protects the pencils from damage. I’m really pleased with them. I’m not an artist, I just wanted a set to do some colouring.

Really lovely pencils. I did a lot of research before i settled on these. For affordability and quality i decided on getting the gold 120 so I had more choice of colours. I can get the colour near perfect in my drawings. Would definitely recommend

I have many castle arts sets and this from another set for sea scapes, I have done a few of the tutorials and I will do this set’s tutorials at some point. I came across castle arts at Amazon, these larger set’s have a booklet with many exercises that will improve your artwork no doubt. Doing the tutorials over and over teaches you so much, definitely worth the money!

It has been many years since I last purchased colour pencils and was sceptical as to the quality of what these might be given how competitively priced they are in comparison to the brands you find in traditional art shops. I was so pleasantly surprised though! The leads are soft enough for blending without breaking and the range of colours are fantastic. I especially love the colour test card that came with the set, I have always had to create this myself in the past, it was a really nice touch ...

I could not find the right skin colour pencils anywhere I happened to come across this website and decided to give them a try, to say I was very impressed is an understatement they are such good quality and the colours are perfect they are exactly what I was looking for and very cheap aswell, I will definitely be ordering again
