Creative Studio Goldfaber Color Pencils - Tin of 48

Beautiful colors; very smooth and buttery application. No wax bloom! Wish there were two or three times as many colors.

Arrived in perfect condition. These are really good pencils. I had bought a few of these open stock and liked them so much, I bought the full set. I also have a full set of polychromos pencils and like pencils with less wax and that hold a point longer. There is a nice selection of colors in the Goldfabers for such a small set, and they layer/blend well. Happy with purchase.

These are my favorite pencils. I only wish they came in more colors.

These colored pencils are awesome. They are smooth, highly pigmented, layer, and blend well. They also hold a sharp point and I haven’t experienced any breakage or crumbling. Sharpen easily. I noticed the information leaflet recommended blending with baby oil. Individual pencils are available open stock at art and craft stores. The tin and pencil holding tray is nice. The quality is nice for the price point.

Love these. I have arthritic fingers and these are much easier to use as it doesn’t take much pressure and they glide on smoothly. Much better for my hands. They are larger/thicker around than most. I bought a set of 12 and another set of 12 polychromos to compare, which I like better. Richer color and just as easy to use. That’s the only reason I gave them a rating of 4. Love my Prisma color pencils, too, but the tips break after sharpening more than these do. I believe the FaberCastel brand is well worth the value of the cost because of the durability, the richness of color and how they feel while coloring. My hope is to save money to purchase a full set of the polychromos (120).

I absolutely love, love, love these Watercolor pencils I use them along with watercolor paint . Once water is added they work just like watercolor. Gorgeous colors , great variety of colors , also a excellent price for the quality of the watercolor pencils.

These are great pencils! I bought a small tin of these pencils from Blick to try, while I was on vacation. My first thoughts as I opened them was, "humm, they look nice but they are not the quality that I assumed they would have, only at first glance and I haven't even put one if these babies in my hand yet!" I was expecting Polychromos quality and I can tell just by looking that Faber Castell missed the boat on these! The first thing that I noticed is that the pencils are only numbered - there are no color names on the pencils. You would think that a company like Faber Castell wouldn't even "go there." Oh well, so much for my expectations. The next and first thing that I did was to create a swatch chart. My mind changed almost instantly! These are really nice pencils! I used these pencils throughout my vacation and dare I say it? I fell in love! These are super nice pencils. I just wish that they had names ppl printed on each pencil, and that they came in bigger boxes. 120, or 150 pencil set would be great. Alas, the largest box is 48 pencils. As soon as I got home I ordered the box of 48. I have some more searching to do! Lol! As I sat here swatching my little heart out, a thought occurred to me. This set would be perfect for carrying to drs appointments and other such hurry up and wait situations. Lol! So in my opinion, I think that most of you will like these pencils. Don't expect hard pencils like Polychromos- these are closer to the feel of prismas. Give them a try! You can always send 'em back if you don't like them. Well I hope this helps. I truly hope that you are having a most blessed day, and........color on!

Great quality, smooth for painting and color variety.
