Review: Too pretty to use? Maybe! 😍 - I’m screaminggg~ the colours are so gorgeous! I love and have so many coloured pencils and markers, but I think this set is my absolute favourite. I haven’t used it yet and I'm kind of scared to but I know it’ll turn out so beautiful on paper! 😍
Review: Beautiful pastel colors - So, what do I like about Castle Arts Pasteltint pencils: 1. They are soft and creamy, easy to put in layers. 2. They work great with any type of paper, no matter if it is thick and glossy or thin and toothy. 3. Beautiful colors. They are delicate but not dull. My favorites are the Daisy Blue, Inca Gold, Juniper Lime and Blue Poppy shades. Also I like the skin tones and the two neons (Lime Coral and Jasmine) 4. They are placed in a stylish tin box with the two sturdy trays. 5. They work great in combination with the regular basic colored pencils, metallic pencils and the neons. What I do not like about Castle Arts Pasteltint pencils: 1. Despite of the wide color range it is not enough to use the set independently. I feel the lack of the following colors: light red, light brown, yellow and green. But still, in combination with the basic colors/metallics/neons you will barely notice the problem. More over, I’m pretty sure, you will be happy with this set apnd that’s why the product got 5 stars not 4. Highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are Pasteltint pencils a chalk pastel or are they similar quality as your original colored pencils, using similar cores?**
A: No, they are not a chalk pastel. The leads in these pencils are wax-based like those in our Premium Colored Pencil Sets.

**Q: Are these colors included in the regular 72 and 120 sets, or are they completely new sets of 48 colors?**
A: The colors in the Pasteltint set are entirely new, and are not duplicated in our regular 72 or 120 colored pencil sets.

**Q: Can you use blending spirits with these pencils?**
A: Yes - and you can also use baby oil, Zest-it and other easy-to-find blending agents.

**Q: Are Pasteltint pencils permanent? Can I use them on a blackboard for example?**
A: These pencils do not have chalk cores, they are wax-based. They would not be appropriate for a blackboard/chalkboard. However the beautiful pastel colors will work brilliantly on black cover board or black paper.

**Q: Where are these pasteltint pencils produced?**
A: All our products are developed in the UK and manufactured in our factories in China, but all inventory for orders is stocked in various Amazon warehouses for ease of distribution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly surprised.
*by M***. on October 21, 2022*

I bought these with lower expectations, since I do most of my work with Prismacolor and Derwent, but I ended up pleasantly surprised. These layer very well with my professional grade color pencils. I was not expecting that at all. They take a bit of work to build coverage, however I wouldn’t say they lack pigmentation – I think that’s just the nature of the pencils. They do have tint in their name, after all. The colors themselves are gorgeous. I recommend using them on toned paper! It really makes the colors POP. Based on the price, I am not anticipating high lightfastness, so I’ll be using UV protective finishing spray on anything that will be displayed. I suggest other “serious” artists do the same. Speaking as an experienced color pencil artist (15 years using the medium!), I love that this set comes with a guidebook on how to use color pencils to their full potential! The information is entirely accurate to my understanding of color pencils and I am thrilled that any novice artist who purchases these pencils will be receiving the guidebook. I think it will be an invaluable resource for some artists and hobbyists. Bravo, Castle Arts! You went above and beyond there. My only complaints so far are that a few of the warm tones are similar looking to the point that they may be almost indistinguishable to the untrained eye and I would have liked to see another off-grey tone or two. Not dealbreakers by any means. I could see this color pencil set making a wonderful gift for a student, hobbyist, or casual artist. I would not recommend these to professional fine artists unless they keep their expectations reasonable and realistic. Remember, these only cost $35, and with art materials, you get what you pay for. Still, what a fun set of color pencils! The unique color palette makes these stand out amongst the other color pencils of a similar quality/price currently on the market. I do not regret giving them a chance. I am sincerely hoping that Castle Arts will eventually offer individual open stock for purchase.
