I recently purchased the 120 set of the Gold Castle Arts pencils and I really like them, but there were some broken pencils and I emailed their customer service as there were quite a few. I received immediate response and they are replacing them. When a company shows this kind of excellent customer service it makes me confident to buy their products and I am a happy customer and have now orderd the pastels which are once again available in the tin.

I just got these pencils this last Monday. I have been using them on coloring pages with flowers and comparing them with my water based markers. They work well! The colors seem floral based(so many have flower names). I'm considering buying the metallic set also. I've the case and I am impressed with the info provided. Recommend these. The other pastel sets I have were cheaper and not worth the price .....these are. Of course these are not Holbeins but they are probably comparable to that Polish set people talk about! Love your video. 🤗

Just for your information. You keep referring to these as budget pencils. That’s not the case here in Australia. For this set on Amazon it costs $103.63. That’s $2.15 per pencil. Compare that to what you can buy Fabre Castell polychromos for, and they are not far behind in price, so definitely not budget friendly. Thanks for sharing your swatching with us, some nice color choices!
