A sketching set without an hb pencil? why so expensive on amazon, when michael's sells it for $12?

They are really great quality. Not every pencil is built the same. These were worth it for the white alone.

Are the windsor newton studio collection colored pencils oil or waxed based?

Hello there.... iam a full time professional artist and Bookbinder and I hate to break it to you, BUT EVERY COLORED PENCIL IS BOTH OIL AND WAX! shocking, I know lol. All colored pencils contain both waxes and oils... the ratios are just different, so depending on the dominant one... its labeled as " wax based" or " oil based ". This was never an issue, or a question untill recently with the rise of colorist and crafters and hobbyists. For some reason people think they can judge a pencils feel and performance by asking this question.... iam here to tell you that you CANT. People seem to think that all " wax based" colored pencils are all soft and buttery like prismacolor ( which are the only low end professional artist grade pencils I don't really use ) and that all of them get terrible wax bloom. They think that asking if it's " oil based " that they will be very hard like Polychromos and are difficult to blend... its not true, and you simply can't because they are all different. But the great news is they all work together beautifully! You have my second favorite colored pencil under my Holbeins ( I literally have atleast 2- 150 sets in my studio at all times, I get mine straight from Japan because they are twice as cheap than here ) ... so you have Derwent lightfast pencils which are labeled as " oil based " colored pencils, but they are super smooth and soft, they blend AMAZINGLY and layer for days... and work great with Gamsol/ OMS And you have luminance that are labeled as " wax based " and they differ in hardness and softness from color to color.. based on the pigments. But they are considered on the softer side AND HAVE ZERO WAX BLOOM. Caran D'ache Pablo are labeled as " wax base " yet are hard and keep a sharp point for very long! They layer forever and are extremely smooth and velvety on their lay down. You simply can't judge a pencil from asking this question, plus it doesn't really matter because they all work together, they all work beautifully with one another. The whole " wax or oil based labeling " is actually a fairly recent thing.... because of all the uprise in popularity with colorists and hobbyists. This question is rarely ever asked in professional arts, but it never matters in professional art. I literally own every single complete set, full color range of ALL professional-artist grade, lightfast sets of colored pencils. I use all of them together, I have colored pencil stackable trays ( like the ones for my copics, just smaller slots for pencils ) secured and stacked all the way up the wall behind my artist drafting table... and the wall beside me too. They are all used depending on my color needs and different techniques used. I literally use all of them except the prismacolors... every once in a blue moon, I will use one of their lightfast lighter colors. Their wax bloom is horrific and there are alot of questionable or poor lightfast ratings. So just keep this on mind that you don't really need to worry if " it's oil based or wax based " because they are ALL both at the same time. I hope you have a wonderful day, cheers
