Review on 🎨 Stabilo 8052 All Coloured Pencils for Almost All Surfaces, 3.3 mm, White, Pack of 12 by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not suitable for colored pencils.

I bought these on the advice of a group of colored pencil artists to highlight my work with colored pencils, as opposed to gel pens which are not allowed at juried art shows where the work is considered a colored pencil work, none mixed media. Firstly, these are watercolor pencils and they are marked on the body which means they are water soluble. are good for marking material, glass or wood, they are not at all suitable for working with colored pencils. They don't build on any quality pencil I work with. They don't give the pop they speak of, they hardly work to soften the colors. Perhaps the other colors in the all set work better, but this pen is optional for artists. They are more likely to be used in craft projects or when there is a need to mark something.

Pros
  • Available in eight watercolors
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
