The Holy Grail!
I own several of the high-end brands of colored pencils (Faber Castell, Derwent and Conte a'Paris) and this one...wow makes me feel silly spending a fortune on the aformentioned. Seriously, these pencils are amazing...the holy grail and I'm not exaggerating! These pencils are wonderfully chalky but not too chalky that they would leave too much of a powdery residue upon each stroke. They are rich and highly pigmented that even with a rub of your finger, the colors stay true. And it is so easy to layer if you want more vibrancy. This set of 60 is really perfect, you won't regret it. I've gotten sets large in number where I end up with pencils that are near dupes and i can say for the first time that this is not the case. Every color Is unique to me and I see myself using each and every one of them whether it be for landscape, still life, portrait, etc. absolutely saitistied with them...so glad these exist! The pencils don't have a labeled color name to them which isn't a problem for me but it judt means that the swatches I'm posting won't have any collr names to them. I hooe it'll show just how amazing they are. The right side I smudged slightly for reference.
