I cannot say enough good things about these pencils. I only wish I could afford the entire 120. They glide over the paper when coloring and have no trouble going over with my glitter pens. Other brands seem to be so waxy that is piles up or will not go on smoothly over glitter pens. Beautiful colors throughout the tin. My pages look so professional with me being a hobbyist person. Did I need them no but so glad I now have then and would like to add to my 40 pencils.

Caran d’Ache produces an exemplary line of professional artists products that include a variety of color pencils, one of which is their Pablo line. These pencils are lovely & come in sets of 12, 18, 30, 40, 80, & 120 providing a wide array of beautiful colors. Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils are predominantly oil based & sharpen to a fine point that’s effective for fine detail work while also offering a smooth, consistent application. I find these pencils work best on surfaces with a little tooth to enhance their ability for blending & layering resulting in rich color payoff & seamless transitions. Many people seem to ask for comparisons between Pablo pencils & Prismacolor pencils but they are quite different in many regards. The most common questions seem to be weather Caran d’Ache Pablo color pencils are as buttery soft & creamy as Prismacolor Premier & the answer is no. I believe Prismacolor pencil cores are wax based & are indeed very soft resulting in rich color payoff without the need for multiple layers for blending & color saturation. Pablos are oil based & have a harder core more like Polychromes which is an asset for fine detail work. I’ve learned to apply multiple light layers over each other for blending & building color saturation & the result is beautiful & smooth. I think this gives more depth to my work & I like the effects. I don’t mind the time or effort it takes to develop this effect however I’m not sure I’d be inclined to put in the time & effort for coloring or casual works. That being said, these are certainly some of my favorite color pencils, I just wish they were a bit more budget friendly. It’s important to mention that Caran d’Ache Pablo color pencils are a permanent medium which are not conducive to erasing. This does make them highly lightfast, a necessary element to consider when classifying “professional” artists mediums & supplies. The individual lightfast ratings are printed on the pencils in the form of one* to three ***, three being the most lightfast, something you’d want & expect in a commissioned piece. According to Caran d’Ache their one* rating is resistant to fading from 8 to 25 years, & 3*** resistant up to 100 years & this lightfastness is a factor in their pricing. If you are on a budget but want to try these color pencils out, you might spring for a set of 12 or 18 which will actually give you a great selection of colors due to their blending & layering qualities. These pencils are lovely but come at a hefty price so I wouldn’t recommend these for “coloring”, scholastic use, or for children unless you plan on framing & displaying something for many years to come. I save mine for commissioned or sellable work & employ more practical & affordable options for everyday color sketching & layouts. These color pencils are beautiful, perform nicely, & are a joy to work with. I’ve worked with them for many years now & highly recommend Caran d’Ache Pablo color pencils for professional artists & anyone with a little money to burn!

What you need to know: I LOVE the way these pencils perform. They layer and blend absolutely beautifully. They sharpen smoothly, hold a point well and are a joy to use. No bloom, and you can keep layering far past the point where the paper's tooth is filled. (Note that while I do enjoy colorizing other artist's work as a hobby, I am writing this review from the point of view of a professional artist.) Keep this in mind: These are NOT soft pencils. They are made for layering, so if you are looking for pencils you can bully, these are not what you are looking for. They require some FINESSE to get the most out of them. If you try to force them to follow the same techniques that you use with soft pencils, you will be frustrated and your hand will get tired. Make continuous light layers instead. That being said - they are definitely worth adjusting your technique. If you aren't sure whether these pencils are for you, I suggest purchasing some open stock or a smaller set first. The one problem I have with these is this: I keep reaching for colors that don't exist, like pastels or more natural tones. These are almost all exclusively fully saturated traditional pigment colors. Want a grey-green? TOO BAD! A pale green that isn't almost fluorescent? FORGET IT! And that is one reason I returned them. I got so frustrated with the color selection I decided they weren't worth having - AT THIS TIME. The one absolutely essential color is this set is 371 Bluish Pale, which is the one tinted white, and comes in incredible handy for all sorts of blending and highlights. The main reason I returned them, however, is because almost a full third of my set had undissolved pigment in the cores, therefor: scratchy, streaky bits. I have spoke to several other artists and they assure me that this is NOT THE NORM. (Caran d'Ache has extremely high quality standards.) If you buy these pencils and they have scratchy bits in the cores, RETURN THEM for a replacement, because THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR. I still intend to repurchase these pencils at a later date. Since I have returned them I have actually MISSED them and find myself wishing I had them back. I have all of the best artist-grade pencils on the market - Polychromos, Holbeins, Derwent, Prismacolor, Spectrum Noir, Irojiten - and many student-grade brands as well, and I still want these because they aren't like ANY of the others. If they had some more muted colors, they would definitely rate FIVE STARS, which is a rating I don't give lightly. A product has to perform above and beyond expectations to get a perfect rating from me. My example image for this review is from Serené, by Nicholas F. Chandrawienata, and I used a Caran d'Ache Full Bright blender and hints of white acrylic paint for accents. UPDATE: It's July now and I missed these pencils so much I had to reorder them and they are SPECTACULAR. No scratchy bits in the cores. Silky smooth and highly pigmented and just DREAMY! I still think they need an expanded color range (fingers crossed for a 30 count special anniversary edition set like the one Caran d'Ache released this year for their Supracolor pencil line! Pastels, please!) but I have had an epiphany and also bought the Luminance, which I hope will net me some more colors, since they are advertised as working well with Pablos. And my wallet hurts now. If my debit card doesn't burst into flame, it will be a miracle. The only set that I prefer to these is the Holbein Artist 150. The Pablos do not schmear like Polychromos do and the colors are more original. Definitely worth the money.

THESE REMIND ME OF THE CASTLE ARTS COLORED PENCILS, except the castle arts are cheaper, more vibrant and opaque and can blend smoothly….These do not blend that well. The core is cool and can hold a point but the shading even w circular motions will not give me a smooth blend they come out faint chalky and just plain dull… i except more from Caran d’ache I love the luminance line! But I really thought these would better than the polychromos… solid 3.5/5 !! These are beautiful and I did want to keep them just to have as a complimentary set but for nearly $70 I much rather make use with a more usable colored pencil that suits my realism/ portraits.
