Holbein Artists' Colored Pencil 12 Sets Review

Holbein Artists’ Colored Pencils 12 Sets, offer exceptional opportunities for premium-quality illustrations. They can be used on any kind of paper due to their amazing coverage and are available from 150 individual colors or multiple sets. A review of the Basic Tone Set, Pastel Tone Set and Design Tone Set displays a color chart showing the beautiful colors and variety of light and dark tones in each set.

An example of a “Seascape and Sunrise Drawing” shows the blending quality of the Pastel Tone Set. This drawing was accomplished with several layers of color using light pressure and smooth pencil strokes. The oil-based pigment spreads smoothly and covers the surface by applying layers of color over all types of paper. This example was drawn on Strathmore Sketch Paper.

Another example of blending using Holbein MELTZ Colored Pencil Blender is demonstrated on the “Landscape Color Study.” The Basic Tone Set of Colored Pencils were used on this drawing and then the water based MELTZ was applied with a damp Holbein Watercolor Brush. The color pencil pigment blends easily and smoothly on the Strathmore Bristol Paper. The same technique can be used on any type of paper.

I was asked if I speeded up the video when I was doing the demo drawing. What a complement! No, I was actually drawing at normal speed. That's how smooth these pencils are, they glide!
