These advertise as being wax pencils, but their blend ability is minimal compared to way cheaper brands that I have used, just glad that I only purchased a pack of 3 rather than whole set, if all the pencils lay down the way these do! Real disappointed in the Arteza brand, thought they were better than what I consider to be the quality of a “Rose-Art” or “Cra-Z-Art” pencil, could have gotten 24 of those for what I paid for 3 of these, though!Pretty bright colors. Just glides over the paper!I dislikes the cream. Everything else was great.I love these pencils for my coloring. And Green is always the one I wear out first.So I decided to try a few colors before investing in the whole set and I love them! Will be saving up to try the 120 set. This purple unicorn color is so unique and pretty. The paydown is nice and smooth, the appearance of the pencil is comparable to higher end pencils with color names, numbers, lightfast indicators, branding. Full color barrel with rings around tip of pencil. Beautiful pencil overall. Will update as I test them out with different media and other applications. Can't wait to review these!I ordered three different colors. Upon receiving them, each box was smashed or broken along with all the colored pencils inside. I notified Arteza and they were very prompt in getting back to me. They are sending me a replacement order at no additional cost. I would recommend this company to anyone. I just wish they had some packing material to use to ship these boxes & not just loose in a box.Much better than regular red pencils.If u get these pencils u won’t be disappointed. They color nicely and the olive green or and moss green are great for leaves ? for flowers. I have purchased many colors and have not been disappointed yet. They also feel great in ur hand !! Have a nice day of coloring !!I love this shade of brown, not too dark or too light. It is perfect for blending with darker shades on landscape drawings.Good quality artists pencils. Ordered on request of my child who is a keen artist and top of the class in secondary school. Has already done some outstanding pictures with them.Finally got a colouring pencil that is actually RED, big thanks, good quality, fairly priced. Easy to use, lush red, highly recommend.I love that arteza let’s you buy their pencils open stock and that you get three so you never run out of your favourite colour.An awesome product, goes on easily and sharpens well. Well worth the money.
