Thank you Jennifer!!! I remember my Artisto as being pretty excellent! Then I tried Castle Arts watercolor pencils... not as good... left marks on the paper after using the water!!! I finally bought Faber Castell colored pencils 36 set and Albrecht Durer 36 set. Colors match!!! Happy camper! My granddaughters are enjoying the Artisto 72 set!!! Right now the Artisto 48 watercolor set is 25% off... fyi! Great to see you ❤️! A California Gramma 🎉

Albrecht Dürer is my favorite brand, but speaking about the budget pencils, I rather have the General's Kimberly, even with their color selection which is way less than the Artisto, just because the GK can be bought open stock. I stopped buying art supplies that cant be bought open stock cause once a color one really likes or needs is finished, the only option is to buy a whole new set! I refuse to do that. That aside, Im impressed with the Artisto performance. Thx for this video. ❤

If I would have looked at it quickly I would have seen the American flag and just assumed that it was made in America, not just designed. Thanks as always for testing and giving your feedback, is greatly appreciated!!

Hello ya all. I have been gone for a few but my love is watercolor pencils with my mixed media art. I can manipulate them to do amazing things. But I have to say the music in the beginning is a little distracting cuz it takes away from what you are saying which for me is really important. I can be having a real anxiety driven episode and I tune in to one of your videos and you calm me right down so thank-you for that. I appreciate you guys .

Hey, I wanted to tell you Jenifer I got the watercolor pencils by Astro whatever it’s called you are not wrong. They are awesome pencils and 20 something dollars for 72 watercolor pencils that you can literally put your brush too and the colors so intense oh my gosh, they’re beautiful. You are so right about that.

I bought the 48 set of Artisto regular pencils after watching the talk about the regular pencils. I like them, they work well. Found that they might not have correct color name. Sky blue is labeled Castleton Blue. When I found the real Castleon Blue I realized that it was really sky blue - by the number. I don't know if other companies do this also. My pencils were out of any kind of order but that doesn't bother me. (The person who packed the tins probably doesn't get paid enough to worry about that and any one can reorganize them. I may put them in a case anyway). I also have Castle Arts which I like. I had them first so they are my favorites. I bought Prismacolor and did use a couple times. I must not want to use the Prismacolors up too fast because I do use these Artisto and Castle Arts more often - especially CA pastel ones which are beautiful.

Hullo Jennifer & Steve, with Rose! I do enjoy watching your testing procedures. I have been using watercolor pencils since I was 12. I went to my local art store and the only brand they had were Koh-I-noor. I was told that was the only brand they carried, so I thought it was the only one! I did not even hear of Albrecht Durer pencils! The Magnus line of Faber Castell’s have become my very favorite brand of watercolor pencils! I do wonder when other companies decided to create watercolor pencils? Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and ideas on these pencils.

I also have a few of their watercolor pencils which I use for under painting and sketching in outlines that I don't want to show. I will keep them for those purposes but not invest outside of the colors for those purposes. Thank you so much for your reviews!

Lindsay the frugal crafter compared these with several brands and seems to compare well. The problem is no open stock. But they last forever. I have the Faber Castell Durer(?)and love them. I don't think you can go wrong for the price. If you use up a color here and there you can always pick up an open stock brand.

Agreed, and yes buy an open stock of best brand when a color runs out. Also add a few open stock of missing colors you might like. I really like bigger sets of 120, but the price of best Faber Castrell Albrecht Durer is 270 in Canada. A little goes further in watercolor so the pencils should last longer. Maybe by then Artisto will have a 120 set.

But I do know we import a lot of products from China so just based on that it is highly suggestive that I might be able to get Artist Pencils from Amazon Australia. Well as least I’m hoping. ❤

I guess it is what you are looking for! As a large choices of 120 colors, Faber Castell is still the best! As having a strong pigmentation due to theirs quality, Faber Castell is the best! But if you are having a low budget to invest Artisto is best! What about lightfast pigmentation, I am doubting Artisto might be the winner! 😊

Hi Jennifer and Steve, and little Rose. Great video. Not sure how much you paid for them in the US, but here in the UK as of today price on amazon the 72 set of colouring pencils is £56 and a pack of 48 watercolour's is £84. They may be lovely pencils but for something that is marketed at beginner level for tHt price i would rather get Faber castell or blak widows hope you understand. all the best.
