A short video demonstrating Castle Arts Gold color pencils in use. Can these Gold pencils be used over or under black micron ink pens and are they transparent for grayscale coloring? They are fairly translucent for colored pencils (this makes them wonderful for layering), so they can be used over ink lines. They are also well suited for greyscaling. Can Gold Range color pencils be used on wood and other hard surfaces? Gold colored pencils adhere to many hard surfaces such as wood, stone, leather and metal. The pencils are permanent, but we recommend you seal your drawing with a coat or two of varnish. Can you achieve natural dry blending with Castle Gold as you would with a softer wax based pencil? Very easy to blend because of the smooth oil base; if you use a colorless blender or a stump on a test patch, you can see the color move onto the paper from the edges of the patch. What is the optimal surface on which to use these — do you recommend a particular type of paper? Most papers will do but smooth cartridge paper is our favourite. Try working on watercolor paper too — the surface has a pleasing little texture for the pencil to ‘bite’ into. How long does a single pencil typically last? Black and white typically last the longest, other colors last for three months at least, more if used lightly. Of course it all depends on how fervently you apply these pencils to your everyday art! GOLD 120 COLOR PENCILS PRESENTATION TIN EASY-LIFT PENCIL TRAYS POP-UP PENCIL SELECTION Simply press the pencil end to lift it from the tray and you're ready to layer, blend and detail. BEAUTIFUL & VIBRANT The richly pigmented, richly tinted leads layer, blend, detail and burnish to perfection. The difference with our flagship professional coloured pencil set is that the intensely pigmented cores, formulated with oil for greater hardness. Easily to sharpen, they hold their point longer, better for detail and resistance to breaking. Formulated with oil for greater hardness combined with creamy lay down, the vibrantly pigmented core within fine-grain basswood casing can be sharpened to a finer, longer-lasting point with greater resistance to breakage. Our flagship coloured pencil Gold range gives you mastery of every technique - blending by varying pressure to control density, layer upon layer; hatching, cross-hatching, contouring and stippling; or burnishing to achieve a rich sheen.

  • So nice & great price!
Number of Items: 120
Very nice go to for practicing or coloring. Nice pigments with a wonderful selection of colors. They are not too waxy, nor too hard either. I will definitely buy again. Feel good in your hand too & I had no problem with layering or using them to blend. They feel good in your hand & fit in my sharpener. The price is amazing & I am surprised they are not more expensive. Very good quality. (I haven't even touched my more expensive pencils.) No broken leads either. ... show more

  • Budget friendly pencils that fall between prismas and polychromos-
Number of Items: 120
When I first started coloring, I bought the standard set of Castle Arts pencils (not the Gold Standard pencils), but found them difficult to work with- I thought they were scratchy, hard to blend, and difficult to lay down color. I read some reviews, and tried out some other pencils. Fast forward two years, and I've amassed quite a collection of pencils that I love. Recently, I'd heard good things about the Gold Standard pencils, and decided to give the Castle Arts another try. I've been very pleasantly surprised! The color range is fantastic, and they are a nice "in between" pencil. The color lays down easily, and they have a slightly creamy texture that blends well (similar to a prismacolor) but they keep a sharper point and don't crumble/break easily or give off a lot of dust (more like a poly), which makes them great for smaller detail work. They also mix well with the Castle Arts pastel pencils (which I also highly recommend) and that allows for a wider range of light colors/highlights. The only downside is that they don't erase as well as some others-but that seems a small tradeoff for a nice basic pencil that I can (and do) use often. I can recommend these are a good set for beginners, as well as a great addition for someone more advanced. ... show more

These Pencils lay down soft and sharpen well. The colors are really nice as well. I would call them a step above student grade pencils. I like them.

  • Decent pencils
They do still break quite a bit. They have good selection of colors. They are smooth to color with, but I do find it a tad difficult to shade with them. Some of the colors, notably oranges and yellows don’t seem to be blended enough (?) because occasionally red will suddenly appear mid-color.

  • Best Colored Pencils, EVER
These colored pencils really impressed me. I wasn't expecting to be able to blend the way these do. The colors are nice. I do wish it came with a sharpener for convince, but other than that, these are truly perfect! I love the case and 3 trays - organization and protection!

I love these pencils. They help me to practice my values, Hughes shades, contrast, and color study as I use them in coloring books mostly, I have not stepped out of the coloring book real to start actually doing my own custom painting with them I’ve tried using alcohol to help smooth out And blend some of the colors. but they do work well with orderless mineral spirits. They are vibrant creamy, smooth, texture satisfying to work with and if you look at the photos, I’m sharing. I think you’ll agree. they do complete a beautiful rendering in a coloring book on cheap paper. I haven’t dared to try them on artist grade paper yes but I’m planning to in the future. ... show more
