Product Description

What is the difference between the tin of 120 pencils and those that come in the zipcase?

The pencils are exactly the same - the rigid tin is perfect for home studio use whereas the travel zipper gives you more options and portability.

How good are these when drawing on black cartridge paper and will they work on wood if it is then sealed with varnish?

They work very well on dark papers and yes, they work well on wood and can be sealed with varnish afterwards.

How many skin tone colors are in these sets and how many shades of white and gray are there in the set?

It depends on the skin tone you are after, but there is a wide selection in both 72 and 120 sets. In the 72 set, there are three grays, one white and a black. In the 120 set, there are six grays, one white and a black.

Do the colors blend and layer easily?

Yes, they layer really well and are very blendable and creamy with or without a blender, adding real usability to your art kit.

Looking for a gift for an artist - is this a professional grade product?

Yes, our in-house artists have fully tried, tested and compared our products and so they are fully endorsed for quality and application.

Beautiful vibrant colour, smooth laydown and blends well

Beautiful vibrant colour, smooth laydown and blends well
Im extremely happy to have taken the plunge and purchased these pencils. I had been looking for a really good wax set to complete my collection and there are not alot of options of this quality and affordability here in South Africa. The colour range is beautiful and so vibrant on black, white or toned paper.Ive been doing some online tutorials (courtacy of Ali Haider on youtube) and my latest attempt was a first with these pencils.These pencils lay down consistently and smooth. Layer one was not patchy at all and this was with very little effort and you could not tell that strokes were from multiple directions.For blending, I used a dry brush, baby oil and blending stump and all worked beautifully.These pencils sharpen very easily with a manual or electric barrel sharpener.You can also use an electric eraser easily without smudging to add highlights.I highly recommend these pencils, and Im hoping to add to them with the castle art gold, metallic and portrait sets. This will take time though to build the collection butnits well worth it and something to look forward to.Go ahead and treat yourself..

5.0 out of 5 stars Coffret de très belle qualité
Reviewed in France on March 9, 2024
Je ne voyais pas le coffret aussi grand (mais il est rentré dans ma boîte aux lettres, que je ne pensais pas aussi grande non plus 😁) et qu'est ce qu'il est joli ! Reçu bien emballé dans un carton de la marque qui protège bien le coffret métallique contenant les 120 crayons, numérotés et avec le nom de la couleur correspondante. Les crayons sont arrivés sans aucune mine cassée. Nous avons juste dû remettre dans l'ordre, certains du premier support. S'il y avait un point à améliorer, pour ma part, c'est la rigidité des 3 supports car je les trouve un peu souples et je ne sais pas comment ça vieillira. Les crayons offrent de beaux dégradés au niveau des couleurs vraiment belles. Je les ai testés ( il y a un feuillet testeur à colorier pour visualiser les couleurs sur papier), c'est agréable de les utiliser, bonne prise en main, ils sont plutôt gras, glissent bien sûr le papier et la pigmentation est vraiment très bien. Ma fille (39 ans) à qui ils étaient destinés, est ravie aussi. Certes, c'est un coût mais la qualité est là et nous sommes vraiment enchantées de cet achat et recommandons cet article sans hésitation.
