Questions & Answers

Can you tell me what colors ?

The box contained one white, five yellow and one gold pencil, two orangey colors, 3 shades of pink, five reds, five purples, five blues, eight greens, one teal, one aquamarine, six browns, and one peachy-orange color. Two of them are tan, one is black, and one is Colors can be generalized in that way. As a whole, I think it's good because it has a varied color spectrum, such as yellow and orange with Colors don't seem to line up, making it hard to tell one from the other. In my opinion, this is a good sign, since there are plenty of choices "in between.".

There are any differences in quality and color shades between Prismacolor sets made in Mexico and the ones made in the USA?

That's a definite yes. In 1996 I bought 48 sets of these cards, and I still have them. My first impression was that it was top quality when I bought it a few weeks ago. It took me some time to realize that I felt a different quality and weight of wood as well as of lead. Comparing the old set to the made in Mexico, I found the original to be inferior in quality. The two are completely It goes without saying that I return the set Cracks were present in some of the pencils! The new set of Arteza I ordered is more expensive than the old set, which I didn't mind paying higher price for. In terms of feel, they are very similar to my original Prismacolor (despite being As well as that, they are cheaper.

What are the best places to use these when woodburning on bags, water paper, ?

They are great for paper, bags, etc. Since we use them for woodburning on gourds, they should work well with them.

I have received some used pens
3/5

It was a total disappointment. There were no protective wraps on the tin. It was found that all the pencils in the outer box had been loose. The pencils were not identical in length, which made matters worse. There were a lot of blunted sticks, and one was an inch shorter than most. Lots of them had been used. As soon as I receive my replacement set, I will let you know.

It was all a dream gone wrong
3/5

A very sad day has happened to me. The problems I am having with this set are new to me. I've never had a problem with prismacolors before. In spite of the packaging, once I got started (on work I was paid for, or maybe not since I couldn't finish it), the first bit of the pencils had no problem. However, after some more sharpening, I discovered the color on the inside was completely gone. Let me leave a picture so you can see how much was wasted and that it's not just broken but fragmented as well. In addition to using this sharpener, my other sharpeners haven't given me any problems. It may have been possible to use better packaging, but I'm very disappointed that I had to wait so long for such a defective item.

Premium products are no longer as premium as they once were The set is more like a student set now
3/5

The pencils I bought from an art store years ago did not compare to a set I purchased earlier. In the old set, the blending was decent, the set glid, was vibrant, and it was buttery soft. Unfortunately, this new set from Amazon left a lot to be desired. Although the colors are vibrant compared with generic colored pencils or Crayola color pencils, they are not as vibrant as they used to be in years past. They are more waxy in a bad way, like inferior pencils meant for school projects. They glide less easily and deposit less color as a result. I have to spend a lot more time than I used to to lay down the color I want. My workflow has to be more focused on layering and blending. As opposed to my previous set, this one does not work like butter and is not a dream to work with. It is still a better pencil than a standard pencil, but not as good as premium pencils. Has the manufacturer changed or the raw materials used to make them changed? The sky is the limit! It is important for you to realize that they cannot be compared. About $20 or a little less was what I paid around Christmas time for these, and they usually cost Their value for money can be viewed in this way. In that case, is a value buy still possible if the product doesn't quite live up to our expectations? If a teenager or college student wanted them, then I would buy them again at this price. It's possible that it will not work for me. Colors were rated differently based on their bad effects. The tools I have sharpened so far have not broken because I am not as enthusiastic about using them. But the ones I have sharpened have worked just fine. Having said that, that is not to say that it will remain the same as they become more refined. As a whole, consider these a set for students.

For this cripple, coloring is a dream come true! It's so nice to have pencils that I love
5/5

The same way butter is. RA causes severe joint fusions and replacements in my hands and I have recently undergone joint replacement surgery. I couldn't use basic crayola pencil crayons on coloring pages for very long due to the amount of elbow grease required to get a rich color effect. In the end, I gave up coloring and started using watercolor paints instead, but those can ruin coloring There are no words to describe how amazing these are and how they blend with each other! That was the best present I've ever received for Christmas! Some local stores sell individual colors, so I found a website that sells them. My attention has been captured! Also, lead breaks on these razors do not occur here, and they are sharpenable. This is the most artistic place I have ever been! In the image, you can see how the different shades of blue and black blend well together.

The only complaint I have is that there aren't It was great pencils, but I would have liked to have the 150-piece Since I was young, I have always used prismacolors
5/5

When it comes to color work, I've found that using white to blend is the best option. Colorless blenders are perfect for getting rid of dark areas and making the blacks flat. prefer to use gray toned paper because it gives the colors a level playing field and gives the white a nice I simply cannot say enough good things about them!.

I have never used a pencil like this before, which is smooth and versatile
5/5

I have never used a pencil like this before, which is smooth and versatile. It is likely that I will buy from you again. Only if I used more colors in my everyday life would it make the world a better place!.

It is an essential for any artist
5/5

Perfect! Thanks so much! I find this to be a vibrant, creamy, and beautiful experience. The set of these had no duplicates. In contrast, it has a great variety of colors and shades of color. There was no damage to one of the LEDs, and so far, I've never seen a broken LED. more than satisfied with this set, and think that this set is excellent for anyone who enjoys art. If I buy it again, I intend to purchase an even larger The paper I used in this drawing was tan toned, and the prismacolors were perfect!.

The only thing that does not work well with Prismaolor is the color selection
4/5

purchased many hundreds of dollars worth of PrismaColor colored pencils in the past and I will continue to purchase them We will continue to do this. PrismaColor pencils have only two points of concern for me I am looking for a PRICING! I am looking for a PRICING! 1) They are expensive.
2) I have found in coloring a lot of Christmas pictures that there is no really clear, Christmassy red that I consider Christmassy. Well, folks, I think that's all for today. These are my two main complaints about PrismaColor colored pencils.
