Faber-Castell Tin of 60 Pitt Pastel Artists Colouring Pencils, High Colour Ideal For Colouring, Drawing, Sketching, By Professional And Hobby Artists, Coloured Pencils Presented In A Tin

As described. High quality. Fast delivery. Good packing. Highly recommend 👌

I took the plunge and bought these pastel pencils. I was not disappointed, they are gorgeous. I don’t think I have the skills to use them to their full potential yet but am certainly enjoying using them.

Arrived in perfect condition thankfully as the outer box was damaged

I ordered these with my fingers crossed behind my back, I needed them for a course. The price seemed too good to be true. The tin of 60 arrived the next day, well packaged and sealed. I opened the tin and checked the numbers against the FC chart; all present with just one pencil a little shorter than the others, not sure why but am not going to complain. Still not convinced I tested a number of the colours against the same brand purchased individually from an art store. I am by no means an expert in Pitt pastel pencils but the coverage, texture, colour and feel were the same from each supplier. I have uncrossed my fingers and am very happy with my purchase. I have given 3 stars for softness as FC Pitt pastel pencils are known generally to be on the hard and chalky side.

I’m new to pastels - but these pencils really help me to tidy up edges and horizon lines etcI also like that these can be sharpened with a large pencil sharpener which my derwent pencils cannot

I had read in one review how badly packaged the pencils had been. My parcel arrived on time in a brown paper envelope but wrapped 3 times in corrugated cardboard. The pencils are well sharpened and seem intact ( I won’t know for sure until I try sharpening them myself!) beautiful pencils. Thank you.

Really liked using these. Good depth of colour was achieved and fine lines to outline or shade were easy to produce. Great range of colours in a compact tin with eraser and blender

Arrived well packaged and on time. I'm still getting to grips with them, because I'm usually a coloured pencil artist,and these are a whole different ball game in the way they are used. Loving the way they blend and they are also very forgiving, in that they can take many layers and it's easy to correct any mistakes.The only downside, and this isn't a fault with the pencils, is that they are difficult to sharpen without a lot of the pencil disappearing in the process, because the 'lead' is so soft. I've tried quite a few sharpeners and even one specifically for pastel pencils, to no avail. Now using a blade and sandpaper to do the job, which is time consuming and can spoil the flow of work. If you are prepared to put up with that though, I would recommend them.
