5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality & nice price
Very nice set of wax-based colored pencils for the price ($21). I purchased the watercolor set for a good price also (72 count for $32). I also have the Castle Arts sets that I purchased for an excellent price on Bolo ($31 each on sale) . They complement the Arteza pencils because they are slightly harder/firmer and work well for sharp lines but also color very smooth and blend well. I use these sets for coloring and doodling. I have several different Prismacolor and Faber Castell (my favorite) sets for serious projects. As with the Arteza and Castle Arts sets, I have soft and firmer sets (wax, oil, water or hybrid) and water-soluble colored pencils for each of the more expensive brands. I am saving up to buy the Derwent Inktense water-soluble colored pencils and then I think I will have a very nice assortment of pencil styles, and a variety of color choices.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Artists Review -These Pencils are Amazing !
Honestly, these are nothing short of amazing !!!I watched several reviews on YouTube, and I saw a lot of positive reviews, and a couple negative here and there- some people say they’re great, a cheaper alternative to prismas and fabercastell, and I can tell you, yes ! They’re really amazing !Now, my complete thoughts for serious Artists to hobbyists.They are wax based, so they can’t build as much as oil based pencils like polychromos, but they blended so smoothly, and have the perfect pigmentation so waxbloom isn’t a real issue at all-I compared the about of wax bloom with my prismas (also wax based) and no where near the amount of wax pile up, if any.Also because they build and blend so well together, you may not even need to use a fixative or paint thinner to blend them- they practically blend themselves out!I created two pieces already, working on my third, and I love love love them!The bird I used paint thinner to blend and the owl I didn’t ! You almost don’t need any !My only real negatives - they’re not as pigmented as prismas- the black pencil is a little less impressive as a black, so I’ll need to keep my prisma in that area-But they build well so if you want more control and don’t want a blast of color at once, these are great!Another thing is this pack of pencils (48 pack -and 72 pack) lack neutral shades- they’re mostly brights and vibrant, which is great but as a professional artist I appreciate as many nuetrals as possible -And as of right now Arteza doesn’t sale or pencils individually so you’ll have to buy the whole set again- no big deal - they’re amazing and worth the repurchase! I do hope though they sale them separate in the future so you can save some money - or not lol if you use pencils up fast. Anyway lol they’re amazing !

4.0 out of 5 stars creamy smooth quality pencils for all artistic levels
These are quality pencils and the packaging is great, the metal tin keeps them secure. That’s a huge plus...So, I’ve used and own several brands of colored pencils, I’m not a professional artist.Although something went terribly wrong on my order and it took a long time to arrive originally was to arrive on 4th but arrived on evening of the 7th.. being a prime item and was promised delivery on 4th- that did bother me & chat was zero help.I want to specify Bolo chat not arteza.So shipping issues need to be approved on.ON THE PRODUCT NOW:)Worth the purchase-but price is a bit inflated in my opinion.Arteza should rethink this increase on price.Myself -if it continues to increase as it currently has been I won’t buy again. I’m partial to PRISMA, however,These are softer than most other WAX pencils on the market other than PRISMA premier. Thus giving Arteza an edge above others on sheerness and layering ability.These are quality I will give 5 stars on that.I noticed that some of the darker colors do tend to be harder leads and thus blending the darker ones lessens.They are a smoother lay down than other comparable brands.DO NOT confuse these with oil based or watercolor pencils as those are different and lay down differently. Arteza has watercolor pencils as well. Make sure you order correct as I have made that error 😂These are wax based.I’ve compared several brands to these and these are more like PRISMA than other brands.If I were comparing these wax based to an oil based pencil, Castle arts oil based run a close second in smoothness.. for an oil base brand.Anyhow, back to Arteza 😍The blunting of the tips I think is to prevent breaking during shipping so you’ll want to hone the tips by using them or a quick mini turn in a sharpener will remedy it.I had no issue using my hand sharpener to do it, onlyTook one turn to achieve a point.These are harder leads BUT SOFT LET ME BE CLEAR THESE ARE VERY NICE CREAMY PENCILS and less breaking is a good quality on any pencil.So all In all these are worth the purchase for quality, blending and color ability.The colors are PHENOMENAL I love they differ in all aspects as they add more choices to my collection. So, you will be happy with these...Price point I’d definitely say is good but the recent increases has me a bit cranky.. I’d rate these around a 50-60.00 dollar USD for the 120 set. 80.00 seems a tad HIGH.But I’m not judging just one person’s opinion 😍You can’t go wrong purchasing these though, any artist expert or beginner would find these workable and desirable.I tried to purchase the 120 set as it was prime item and delivery was next day, however once order was placed it said it would be 5 days so that upset me and I cancelled it because that shouldn’t be happening on prime delivery items.I was very dissatisfied with that aspect and I couldn’t get a straight answer from Bolo.As I won’t let that reflect my product option 😎That issue shouldn’t really be sellers fault, I was bummed that I wasn’t able to get my 120 set as promised right now. But maybe I’ll try again in the future because these are EXCELLENT pencils.So if you need them ASAP ask about arrival time from Bolo I’m not sure if it’s due to holidays but it was upsetting I ordered them specifically because I was getting next day PRIME delivery And didn’t..And it’s unfortunate there seems to be some discrepancy on shipping.
Amazing
Really good pencils with fantastic range of colours my daughter loves them
Excelentes sus graduaciones en barril.
Excelentes colores. Buena manufactura y lindas tonalidades. Con suficiente suavidad.
Nice pencils
These pencils really surprised me, at how well they work with my Prima Premier pencils. Also the Arteza have some wonderfully vibrant hues. My only tiny complaint is that they are quite messy, the first 1-3 times used, what I mean is...they shed a lot of lead. Once they are used a couple of times, they work great with only the usual amount of shedding. I would definitely recommend them to everyone, and next time I need pencils, I'll be buying the full 120 set.
Broken, broken, broken
I have barely used these pencils, not because I don't like the colours, but because they BREAK so much! Every time I sharpen these pencils I have to be sooo careful because they break apart. I've never dropped the pencils. I've kept them stored in the tin and on a shelf out of harm's way so it's really disappointingThis is not something I would expect from a "expect" selection and it sucks.TL;DR colours are nice to look at but if you actually want to get use out of your pencils I'd pass.
