Review on 🎨 Stabilo CarbOthello Chalk-Pastel Colored Pencil Set - 48 Vibrant Colors, 4.4 mm by Amber Perez

I didn't know chalk pens existed until I read a review mentioning them. I started looking and came across this brand. I'm so glad I found them on my first chalk pen hunt. The STABILLO CarbOthello chalk pastel pencils are very interesting to work with. I'm usually very happy with the finished image and I especially like using them for grayscale tinting. I first bought a 24 piece set and was so in love with this set that I wanted more color options. They are supplied in an easy to open hinged tin can.

Even after the colors have set fairly well, it's important to place a clean piece of paper, napkin, or something else under the painting hand when you're done drawing. Otherwise, small marks of color may remain on the skin. I always color a small part of my painting, mix the colors and remove the chalk dust before painting the other part. I've never had stains on a finished color image. My finished paintings have retained their color well; However, there is a preservative that can be used for shelf life. My set arrived pretty messed up with a few broken tips. The tin box was in a flimsy plastic envelope so they could be tossed and mishandled throughout the shipping journey. The tin can offers fairly good protection; However…….
