## Description

From the manufacturer Polychromos Artists´ Colour Pencils For more than 100 years, Polychromos artists' colour pencils have been convincing artists all over the world with their excellent quality. The high-quality pigments ensure unsurpassed lightfastness and outstanding colour brilliance. The smudge-proof and waterproof 3.8mm thick colour lead is silky smooth to the and is particularly break-resistant. The Polychromos artists' colour pencil therefore lives up to its name in every respect. Features High-quality acid-free pigments in bright colours, unsurpassed lightfastness Soft, vibrant colour laydown Water-resistant and smudgeproof Thick 3.8 mm lead Available in 120 individual colours Hatching / Cross Hatching Held at a steep angle, the Polychromos artist’s colour pencil produces the finest lines. This pencil position is ideal for hatching, cross-hatching and precise line work, e.g. when sketching. Varying Pressure Different shades of colour can be created by varying the pressure on the pencil. The Polychromos artist’s colour pencil withstands even the most extreme pressure, which allows for intensive, closed colour areas. Colour transitions Colour transitions can be easily created by blending with a pencil or paper wiper. Embossed Paper Embossing paper is a charming technique. Random textures or exact contours can be embossed onto the paper surface with a suitable embossing pen or a blunt needle before you start drawing. Then, when you start drawing, the deeper lines in the paper are not touched by the drawing. Accessories Castell 9000 Art Set Artists´ graphite pencils for the highest demands. A range from 2H to 8B for maximum tonal value differences and breathtaking depth effects. Twin Sharpening Box Quality sharpener for easy and clean sharpening. For all common pencil shapes: Standard and Jumbo, Graphite and colour pencils. Art Eraser Dust Free Dust-free eraser for clean removal of pencil and colour pencil lines and for subsequent creation of white space or less intensive colour areas. Blending Stump Blending stump for smudging colour pigments. Faber-Castell Faber-Castell, founded in 1761, is one of the world’s leading companies for high-quality products for writing, drawing and creative design as well as decorative cosmetic products. It is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and has been owned by the same family for nine generations. With more than two billion pencils and colour pencils per year and around 8,000 employees, Faber-Castell is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, represented in over 120 countries, with production sites in nine countries and companies in 23 countries. Faber-Castell can draw a positive balance regarding climate protection. A scientific study by the German technical inspection association TÜV Rheinland has confirmed that Faber-Castell’s forests in Brazil absorb more than 900,000 tons of carbon. They retain considerably more CO2 than the company emits worldwide, so that Faber-Castell can consider itself to be carbon neutral.

Review: Highly recommend - I have wanted artist grade pencils for a long time. I had a small set of 12 of s other brand not the same as these, but had in mind one of two choices, these or prismacolour. I read reviews on desertcart and on artists websites gleaning knowledge on each. After some time it became obvious to me that prismascoliyr was the way to go. When I received the package I hoped they arrived intact, and wasn't disappointed. The pencils are set out in groups of 10 in one row of three in two tiers, 60 pencils in total. I had hoped they'd be in colour wheel order but they weren't, that wasn't an issue I merely changed them to how I wanted them ordered. They were all nicely pointed and had the names etched clearly on the barrel of each pencil, with good range of each colour. I was impressed with how vivid the colours were and how well they blended with each other. These are oil not wax pencils and so I wasn't sure how they'd react. I had bought a blending pencil from a different make, but for initial colouring they worked well together blending with each other in the family colour groups. I tried with blending those from different colour groups and was happy with how they blended too. The nibs are sturdy and strong, not brittle at all so took a good session of colouring, with only one tip breaking a tiny piece off. This I feel was more down to that that pencil was slightly too pointed to a too fine tip but the breakage was minimal and didnt affect my use of it as was still a nice sharp point. None I used broke, all appear to be made with high quality in mind. All the wood looks clean and new duty no dry or cracked wood, no gaps, no imperfections. The colours are vivid and true. With such a decent range of each colour, it's possible to colour match with most things you will wish to draw and colour. Those that you don't have, will be easy to mix and blend from those in the palette. Highly recommend.
Review: Superb pencils which may just improve your art - As a relative novice to coloured pencils, these were a considered and relatively expensive purchase - there are a lot of options out there, at varying price points, and a lot of opinions too. Having used relatively cheap pencils before, I must say these pencils are a delight to use. Not only do they look good and feel good in the hand, they perform better than I could have ever hoped for. The colour range in this set 60 is about perfect - I did subsequently buy the ivory, sky blue and cinnamon (or light flesh) pencils to augment the range a little, but I don't think I'll need any more. The way the colours lay down on the paper is fantastic - you can go from delicate application to intense colour very easily without ever feeling that you're going to rip through the paper. And the vibrancy and intensity of the colours are absolutely superb. Blending and layering with these pencils is so easy. The colours just melt into each other. Burnishing is simple too - they react well to application of a white or burnishing pencil and solvent. I really can't fault these pencils. If, like me, you've spent an inordinate amount of time reading reviews and debating which pencils to buy, just buy these. You will not be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these pencils good for intricate detailed drawings ie small patterned work?
Would very much appreciate your views as I am only just starting out.**
A: yes you can use them for intricate work but once you have done the main sharpening you can keep a very fine edge with a small piece of wet and dry sandpaper.  This will save you actually sharpening away valuable pencil until the lead is so far down you have to use the sharpener.  If you are doing multiple layers, you tend to get a waxy build up, therefore you can use a solvent to spread the colour you have already used, which makes it very rich but also allows you to layer even more colours on top. I hope this helps a little bit.

**Q: List of colours?**
A: Black, Warm grey2, Warm grey5, Venetian red, raw umber, walnut brown, Burnt ochre, dark phthalo green, emerald green, earth green yellowish, light green, phthalo blue, helioblue-redish. light ultramarine, ultramarine, dark red, magenta, pale geranium lake, deep scarlet red, dark cadmium orange, dark chrome yellow, cadmium yellow, light yellow glaze, white. Hope this helps. 24 colours.

**Q: How useable is the 120 tin? Are the inserts quite durable or do the pencils need to be put into another kind of holder to prevent them spilling?**
A: The 3 trays inside are plastic, but covered in something that makes them feel like velvet. The pencils each have their own little groove in the inner boxes so they will not spill around inside. There are elastic band grips on either side to ease lifting each layer out of the box and on to a table. I have transported mine several times and this is not a problem. Would make sure that the tips of the pencils were pointing upwards during transport to prevent breaking and perhaps use an elastic around the case itself to ensure that the lid does not pop open. Saying that, mine never has but I carry mine in a laptop type case so there is ample pressure to ensure it stays closed. On a whole I love these pencils and the packaging they came in.

**Q: Can someone please list the 36 colours in this set? Thanks**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for colouring books
*by M***W on 16 August 2017*

I've been through quite a few different brands in my quest to find the pencil for colouring books. All of those I tried were awful leaving nasty scratch marks in the paper and looked dull with washed out colour. This wasn't the case at all with these pencils. Colours are vivid and glide along the paper effortlessly. It's easy to layer colours and add more depth to your colouring and as a result the finished article is much improved. They are pretty pricey as far as pencils go but if you like colouring in for a hobby then these are the perfect tool. I wasn't sure whether to go for a smaller set due to the price but I bit the bullet and went for the set of 60. I'm so glad I did, if I could have afforded it I would have gone for the full set of 120. A lot of the colours may look the same but they are slightly different and this works a charm when layering colours and adding depth to pictures.
