I purchased these as a gift and the recipient loved them. I’m told the quality is amazing and the are they best colouring pencils she has ever used. So much that I’m sure I will be purchasing other colour sets from this range. These are beautifully presented and make a wonderful gift. And, the customer service is first class from the seller. These were shipped very quickly. I had an issue which was quickly resolved and the seller could not be more helpful.

I bought this for my daughter as Christmas gift and she loves it so much! She said they are so smooth and easy to draw. I was super busy before Christmas but the delivery was so efficient. We were able to get it before Christmas for her gift! Will definitely come back again!

Après avoir réalisé plusieurs coloriages sur différents papiers, les résultats sont très satisfaisants, les mines ont des pigments plutôt gras, l'étalement sur le papier est très facile, les couleurs sont contrastées et bien saturées, les mélanges se font facilement. Je possède un taille crayon électrique, les mines ne s'abiment pas, le plus sont les repères par noms et par numéros. Je fais le même rapprochement avec les polychromos de chez Faber castell que je possède, je suis ravis d'avoir...

Love being able to draw and leave the marks or wet the area and completely change the character of the medium. Having a woodless pencil means that you can vary the size and density of the marks much more easily than with a normal pencil.

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 ...

The most superb, prompt and kind customer service I have received in a long while. This afternoon I had a product delivered which through my fault was incorrect. I simply but carelessly ordered the wrong product on the website. I wrote explaining my issue and within minutes they replied and dealt with my error in the most prompt, courteous and generous way. Notwithstanding the fact that I had asked for the wrong thing, the quality immediately seemed excellent. I cannot praise them enough.

Adore this Gold range, they are super soft so blend really well, my only criticism is that the trays are difficult to get back in to the tin and the pencils are super tight to get out/in.

The best gift to give to anyone who loves doing art! I got 3 packages. The recipient likes doing black & white art thus, they loved this the most. Would recommend to anyone who is wanting to give a fun artistic, creative and good quality gift.

I am gradually collecting all the pencil sets and have to say that the pastel tints have the greatest ‘wow factor’ when you open them. They’re stunning with their gorgeous ice cream colours. They add so much to pictures also done with other sets and such a joy to work with. Lovely soft lay down and lend themselves well to blending. This is just a quick sketch to try out the colours and check the texture. As always, I can’t fault them. Just perfect!

Christina S.

Beautiful set of 100 gel pens. Allows high precision. The glitter and metallics are amazing, personally I would prefer more pastel and classic colours and maybe less of neon but that's just me. One of the pens is not working unfortunately, but overall its a very good set. I would definitely recommend it.

Considering the price, I was not expecting such a good product. Really surprised at the quality. So pleased that I have bought a second set for my grand daughter in New Zealand who is in to art. Well done Castle.

Loving these pasteltint pencils. I was initially worried that they wouldn't layer well, but I was pleasantly surprised. They layer beautifully, come in a stunning range of pastel colours and are really smooth and creamy to work with, which gets 5 stars from me. I used them in this piece with a watercolour background and I'm pretty happy with the result. Excited to create more art with them!

These are the best gel pens that I have ever used. There are amazing colours and a great variety to choose from. I have sent 2 boxes to my daughter in the States and an always telling people how great they are.

Fabulous gel pens, so smooth. All of them work, the colours are vivid, the metallic/glitter ones are shiny and sparkling. They blend well. My only little moan is I'd have liked a few more classic colours. I bought 100. I also bought paint pens, which I haven't really played with yet.

I have been a pastel pencil artist for many years and decided I wanted to move to colouring pencils. This Stag is my first piece using Castle Arts and I mixed the Soft touch and Gold range together and, I must say, I am impressed. I found the colours easily blendable, very good with the tombo and putty erasers and excellent for layering. It works a dream with the slice tool to gain depth of fur. I am impressed at the quality of Castle Arts products and would highly recommend, feeling they a...

These pencils are excellent at this price point. I draw bikes and cars professionally, and also casually. I initially drew with standard pencils for a couple of years before having a go at color pencil drawings. I started with a set of the soft touch pencils and I have recently brought this set of gold. The only issue I have with these is that the led likes to flake when applying a fair amount of pressure. They blend well with and without a colourless blender, and the selection of colours offere...

Very helpful indeed. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone out there looking to purchase products such as these...

I've been really impressed by the feel of these pencils, and presentation within the zipped case. They sit in the hand well, and sharpen easily, without breaking. My only - very minor quibble - was the very strange order that they come in. Not a big deal as easy enough to swap around into a palette that suits, but the cheaper set from Castle, that I'd previously bought for two of my kids, had the colours already arranged nicely. Very much a First World quibble though!!

I brought the watercolour pencils for myself but my daughter who is studying gcse art used them for a piece of work. It's an absolutely amazing piece of work. She said the pencils were great to use, bendable and had an amazing choice of colours. I'm yet to try them out myself.

I chose these pencils after looking at several videos online. I am just learning how to select the colour coordinations and blend the colours, but I am really pleased with my progress. These pencils have a wonderful range of colours and produce some fabulous results. Quite proud of the first page I have finished.

Ruth S.

I haven't had art lessons and am not an 'artist'. I wanted a product that would bridge the gap between colouring or paint by numbers to my own original painting. The book of Castles dies just that. It has an outline done for you and a little picture to copy. It's not easy! But I loved it and am very pleased with how the final paining has turned out. A great idea from Castle Paints. Thankyou.

I have been using Castle Art products for many years, & never been disappointed, everything I have ever used, has been 100%. The new colour gold pencils just glide & are effortless to use & blend beautifully. I am always recommending Castle Arts, because you get value for money.

For years I have used Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for my coloured pencil work. After reading a few adverts and reviews on social media, I decided to buy the Castle Gold 120 piece set, to give them a try. I was very pleased with my purchase. The colours are strong, vibrant and easy to work with. No wishy-washy colours here. I love the presentation in the flip case, very convenient and looks smart. I love them, and will most likely try out other Castle media in the very near future.

Absolutely love this set and all my other sets from Castle Arts. I'm a beginner so I'm still learning, but I thought I should start with artist quality pencils so I chose Castle Arts. I'm so glad I did. The blending is easy and I feel like I'm learning fast because the high quality materials allows me to practice properly. With cheap pencils, I find my hands hurt from using them but I don't have that problem with these. I can practice for hours a day and not get fatigued. They sharpen well, the ...

I've never used pencils and I'm pretty new to creating art at all. I googled for reviews about coloured pencils and found these. I got an extraordinary deal on them but would say they are worth the full price. The picture I've shared is the first thing I drew with the Castle set and I really enjoyed using them. They are soft, nicely pigmented and buildable. I would recommend them to anyone starting out who wants a good range of colours and nice quality.

I find once again that Castle Arts have also given us a a good sturdy set of pencils that lay well..they have maintained a sharp point after a few uses. I'm not much of an artist but I use pencils to sketch a lot and these have done the job beautifully so far. The barrel is strong when held even after a while when your hands get warm. The presentation is once again Impeccable and the handy card for tips and tricks I think is a lovely touch. Feels like a special item to receive. Especially if you...
