Derwent Chromaflow 150 Set Of Coloured Pencils, New 150 Derwent Chromaflow Set

[@danettetrostle7173]

This set will be on A LOT of people’s Christmas list! Including mine..what beautiful colors in this set! Thankx Harry for the great news!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I had no idea these were coming! Thats great!

[@rebeccadepew827]

I have never seen a more beautiful set of colors. They would be my dream set of pencils.

[@rebeccadepew827]

I finally just got these pencils. Supposed to be my Christmas present. I’m sick about these. I got to the 3rd pencil in, Lemon, and it’s unable to be sharpened. It just crumbles. I got them from Amazon US. I used a DAHLE 133 and a hand sharpener, both with the same outcome. Do I try to sharpen them all? Or return them for replacement or just get my money back? Other reviews had a horrible time with the Derwent customer service. Your opinion matters to me.

[@artbybenjamin]

There it is the review of the 150 set, well done! I've got the 72 set and also the 72 Coloursoft and I still think that the Chromaflow is inferior in pigments and in build quality. Can't escape the feeling that optical brighteners are used in the Chromaflow pencils, while Coloursoft has a more pure pigment. When comparing Prismacolor Premier directly to both Chromaflow and Coloursoft, the Coloursoft is definitely the best alternative in my opinion. Chromaflow is great, but Coloursoft layers better and while very soft, I get a lot more details with them when sharpened. I'm still debating to get the 150 set, but I would prefer a larger set of Coloursoft. They're still my favorites from Derwent together with the muted Drawing colored pencils. As for the price, the price at the Derwent Store is ridiclous, sorry to say so. That's more than an imported Prismacolor Premier 150 set. If you want to compete, but you don't quite get there, you definitely don't price your product above the competition.

[@raggedyroad]

I hear you on the pricing. I love Derwent but think all of their products are overpriced. So far I have only purchased their unique lines, Inktense pencils/blocks/pans, Graphitint pencils & Drawing pencil 24 set....

[@artbybenjamin]

@@raggedyroad Won't argue with that. I only buy their products when they're on sale or second hand. Over here we have a huge second hand online platform and I got 2 wooden boxes with 72 Coloursoft for less than one new one. One set wasn't used, the other one hardly. Chromaflow and Inktense I bought in a sale on Amazon. Some lightning deal. Very good prices. I've also got the Graphitint pencils & Drawing pencil 24 set, bought them second hand from someone who only made swatches with them and didn't like the colors at all. But new and full price, they're stuff is a fortune, way more than it should be.

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

Interesting to hear your comparison with these & the Coloursoft. 🤔 I've found the Coloursofts to be really patchy and thus hard to blend/layer. And the lightfastness situation is abysmal. But I'd love to use them in combination with other pencils (f.ex. they are wonderful to use with Luminance) if I could trust their ratings...

[@phillipstroll7385]

No pencil will ever compare nor beat prismacolor. If you want a great pencil save your money and stick with prismacolor

[@benjamina6915]

​@@phillipstroll7385Prismacolor Premier is extremely expensive over here. It's just not an option anymore. Alternatives like this are very welcome and save a lot of money.

[@MultiFly5]

Derwent SHOULD hire you Harry for cover artwork. You are so talented! I love this set and NEED it when it comes to Canada! Thank you for the review!

[@jdane2277]

Derwent certainly has a lot of top quality and interesting supplies. 150 colors is DREAMY

[@wanderingstar5673]

A great review. Happy they increased the set . 😊

[@mandybarlow]

Yay. I have Lightfast, Coloursoft, Chromaflow, Drawing, Procolour, Inktense and Artists. LOVE them all. I was excited to see quite a few Lightfast, Procolour, Artists and Inktense colours in the extra 78. I love the Derwent palettes. To ME, Lightfast, Coloursoft, Chromaflow and Drawing all feel soft. Contrary to what you said about soft pencils, I have had no problem with Derwent soft pencils breaking. And I use them almost everyday, sharpen with hand crank or electric helical blade sharpeners. Prismacolor on the other hand break all the time … not because they are soft but because the build quality is rubbish. That is the cores are off centre and casings split. I stopped using Prisma (have 150 set) because they make me mad. Too many I can’t use at all. Prismacolor have an undeserved cult following. If those people aren’t as silly as they seem for defending a rubbish quality product, Derwent should snap up many, many more customers. Deservedly so. Beautiful, beautiful, English-made, quality pencils. They just feel beautiful in your hand ❤

[@davemilligan1171]

Prismas are garbage now.

[@lindakelly7430]

I love Derwent and have all the same sets as you. I agree with you about the Prismacolors...rubbish aren't they? I have a 48 set and they are virtually unusable so won't be buying anymore, especially as they are so expensive in the UK. I did have some issues with some of my Chromoflow 'shredding' in various pencil sharpeners. I complained to Derwent and they sent me replacement pencils and their hand crank sharpener for free! So their customer service is excellent.

[@be_a_bright_sparkle3687]

I think Prismas are slimy…I got the bought years ago as a birthday pressie but apart from swatching them, I’ve never used them. Glad to know it’s not just me.😘

[@amandaparker5086]

It’s a shame about the Prismas. I have some from high school and all of them are perfectly centered and not as ‘smushy’ as they are today. I did buy a new set several years ago and I decided to keep them all at factory length with a T’GAAL handheld sharpener on the 2 setting. It keeps the exposed core short enough that I’ve had no breakage but you do have to sharpen more frequently. Maybe this could help you find a use for them so you don’t look at them and growl. 😂💚

[@mandybarlow]

@@amandaparker5086 😂 They are in a drawer so I don’t look at them (and growl) 😂 as I have much better fantastic pencils to use. Thanks for the sharpener detail though 👍

[@raggedyroad]

Thanks for sharing this Harry. I've been waiting for Derwent to become more competitive with larger sets. I do wish they would increase the Drawing Set to at least 72. I will be purchasing a small set of Chromaflow to see if I like them and then patiently waiting for them to be available in the US.

[@clairewalters8238]

❤i took your advice when chromoflow first came on the market & they were obscenely expensive and you told me to add them to my wishlist and wait for the price to drop, which I did. It took 2 years but I got the 72 for just over $100 Australian & as I write this I am using them. I don't like how thin the pencil is but that would be my only whinge. I don't want to buy the full 150 set as I only need the new colours so I guess I shall be waiting until there is a deal on Cult Pens or Derwent as I didn't buy the lightfast or lumys until the sets were already 100. It was expensive to buy the extra inktense pencils from Derwent when they were released as I absolutely had to have my beloved inktense but I shall follow your advice again with the chromoflow pencils & wait patiently until someone releases just the new colours. The new colours look amazing I am not going to lie but in this economy crashing my already abundant stash must come first. If you hear of the new colours being sold by Derwent or cult pens a community post from you would be wonderful. Thanks Harry for all you do. Much love & *Virtual hugs* from Perth Western Australia ❤❤❤

[@tabbi888]

Sadly 50 of these colours won't be available open stock, so they're trying to force people to buy the full sets 😢.

[@jenell705]

I can’t get over how beautiful and original some of these colors are. Maybe I don’t have enough large pencil sets to compare them to? Not many people are as impressed as I am. Thank you, Harry for showing these to us. Stunning! Your kingfisher is so gorgeous. If only, I had half your talent.

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

Great review, as always, Harry! I tried them when they first came out and had a similar experience with them breaking all the time. Also, at that time, they hadn't released the lightfast ratings on them yet, so I wasn't all that impressed. I ended up giving my set away. It's good to know that they have been sharing their lightfast information and that they seem so have addressed some of the quality control issues. However, they already have so many great lines of pencils, so I really don't see the need for these ones. Your piece came out fantastic! ❤

[@sigriston]

Looks like a pretty great set of pencils, the palette is amazing! The Chromaflow pencils to me always looked like they produce some of the smoothest blends in colored pencils, really cool. 😺

[@Mirrigold]

Great video Harry! I've ordered the top up set from Cult Pens as I already have the 72 set, they're shipping them in a beautiful wooden box for no extra charge as well. I'm a huge fan of Derwent products in general and the Chromaflow in particular, I bought the 24 set when they came out, then the 72 set, and I've had absolutely no problems with them at all. I use a Helix helical bladed desk crank handle sharpener and it works beautifully for them without any breakages etc. I think Derwent might be pricing them slightly too high but, in comparison with the build quality v Prismacolor, then yeah, the Derwent products are far better imho, but they're out of the price range of a lot of casual colourists still unfortunately.

[@GiaDr9911]

🎉 Yayy. I have been waiting for a review of these. THANK YOU! I have the 72 set and like them. But considering the cost of the 150 set, and that I already have prismas, I do not think I will buy them. I wish they had a set containing just the new colors, they are gorgeous.

Thank you for the review Harry, hope all is well for you and yours! Im excited to see this, i have every derwent set in the largest available and this will be on my amazon us radar and ordered soon as available here. Id love to see them expand the drawing line along with procolour and coloursoft. As for the over saturation in the market, im not sure, we have value pencils and we have quality artist pencils lightfast levels or lack of aside. Ultimately some of us will and some wont. I for one will, I have been waiting for a new quality set ( or expansion of a line ) to drop. Again I humbly thank you for the review(s) and appreciate all you do for the community. Thank you sir!

Thanks so much for your review. It good to see them on different papers. Ive been waiting five years for a very good large soft core set and now I'm so pleased I did. I didn't want to get Prismacolor due to their quality issues. I already have the 24 and 72 sets of Chromaflow and haven't had any issues with them while using a M&R crank handle sharpener. They are gorgeous, vibrant and very well behaved, perfect for Adult Colouring Books. Love the inclusion of Oyster and some pastel shades, as well as the wonderful dark purples. Will be getting the new ones open stock as soon as they are released.

[@MedaHalmaciu]

Just when I thought I was done buying art supplies. Do you think you could do a side by side comparison with the Coloursoft palette? I'm not a colour pencil artist. I am more comfortable using watercolors but I do try to insert a few colour pencils in my work and am still undecided about what I like. I like the feel of soft pencils, yet I find myself using the Polychromos more. I wonder if it's because I have them in a set of 12 and the colours are easily visible on the barrel. On the other hand I have the Derwent Drawing and almost the entire initial Inktense set that sit in a pencil case and I rarely use.

[@eloquentdesigns6647]

Ikr!!! I was like, I do not need any more Pencils. Here we go

[@jjsmakeupobsession323]

I just got my set today, I am swatching them now. They feel very buttery smooth, not as soft as prismas, the texture is similar to the Lightfast set. I haven’t done anything but swatching, so not sure how they blend yet, but love them so far.

[@catlady256]

Just picked up my 150 set at the post office, love these pencils, I bought the 24 and 36 set, I had a blue that kept breaking till it was only an inch long and when I complained to Amazon they sent me a whole new 24 set, but when I saw the 150 I had to have them. They are so much better than Prismacolor imho , these do not crack the barrels and there are not as many pencils that sharpened unevenly like Prismacolor. To be honest I think quality control in Prismacolor is none existing I don’t think they care at all I think they are sloppy and really need a wake up. I have all Derwent pencils and they are all well made and exceptionally good. Thank you so much for your always honest opinion and reviews. I was born in England like all these pencils 😂 but have lived in Australia for 50 years now, I enjoy colouring every day that I can. 🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰

[@hellswench5388]

I was itching to get a new decent set of pencils to compliment my full set of Polychromos. I do have the full set of 120 Derwent Artists which I love but are a bit paper fussy but I wanted a softer more blendable set along the lines of the Prismacolors but I begrudge spending £200 for a set of pencils (as I last looked on Amazon) that are no doubt beautiful colours but have very questionable quality control with difficulty in getting replacement open stock here in the UK so I am very excited to see these released. I heard rumours a couple of weeks ago that a 150 set was coming so held off buying any as I didn't know a release date also I do like to support British made where I can.

[@AnimeBlaze-qi4jx]

Those are stunning colours omg! Derwent has been on fire recently when releasing new colours. First, inktense now this? I'll definitely be adding those to my wish list! I have seen on Amazon that they also released a 100 set as well which I found interesting. But I have a full set syndrome I'll buy the 150 instead XD. I hope that one day they'll increase their Derwent drawing line as well and they can go from a 24 set to a 72 set if they want to because these are stunning underrated pencils, same goes for the graptints as well. They could give us a set of 72 with just pale, muted colours if they wanted to. This new set reminds me of a mixture of Derwent Artists + Inktense when it comes to the colour range. I see that they have a beautiful greyish-green colour here. They also have taken some names from the Derwent inktense line too. But thank you so much for sharing I'm in love with the new colors! 😍😍😍

So glad Derwent have finally gotten around to us Brits purchasing this range. I remember the Frugal Crafter doing a review when they first came out and was stunned they weren’t available in the UK! The explanation you provided on why that was is a fair one but as another poster has already pointed out, there’s a lot of coloured pencil fatigue and I just hope Derwent haven’t left it too late. I purchased the 72 set of Derwent Procolour and I absolutely LOATHE them! No matter what paper I lay them down on, I struggle and end up very frustrated. I wish, back then, I’d have had the option to go for the Chromaflow but we are where we are and now I’m just not in a financially viable position to invest in a new set. If and when that changes though, these will definitely be on my wish list. Thanks for the review Harry ❤

[@sallygreenfield6991]

I like the procolour, but I can understand why someone might not for sure. The chromaflow and lightfast are my favorite derwent pencils, and frankly, if more of the chromaflow were lightfast, I'd use them more than the lightfast pencils...I like them better, but they don't work for me because so many of them aren't lightfast. But now I'm interested in what they have to offer again.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Try the procolour or sanded paper. It's great on that. Ir use them with other pencils for sharp details and sharp edges. They are good for that on any paper.

[@victoriawhyte-bp8gr]

Thank you for your review I stopped buying derwent as I found the colour range wasn't enough this coming out might well be a game changer I did have these before but like you found they kept breaking in handheld sharpeners but I didn't think to try a hand crank so thank you!

This set is sooooo on my wish list. I have the graphitint and the drawing set from Derwent and those are the most delicious pencils to work with. Their moody colors are so amazing.

Harry, maybe Derwent came out first in the US, but now the 150 set is not available, and even where it’s available the price is horribly high. Amazon in the US only has the 100 set for $154. Also it has the 72 set. The Prismacolors ( if they want to compare them with) sometimes the 150 set you can get for under $100. The only place you can get the 150 set Chromaflow is at Cult Pens for $264. I think that’s just crazy.

[@suewilkinson910]

Well they have cracked the colour pallet now, they really have. Gorgeous. And they even have a Clay Rose type colour that I would love. I'm surprised the wood is so friable, and that the barrels are so narrow, given that Derwent pencils are always oversized and can cause pencil sharpener issues. But the colours... When they get the open stock sorted I will be picking out some of those to add into my current Derwent supplies. I still love the Procolour for the colours, but they are very hard and not good on a lot of papers. Now I might be able to get some of my favourite colours from that set, + more, from these Chromoflow colours. Great review as always. I can't see them continuing Colour Soft for long now. But I'm really hoping that some of those dark shades in the Chromaflow are equal to the Blackberry, Cranberry and Loganberry colours of the Coloursoft. As for the Derwent Drawing pencils, I love those. They are wonderful for fur, apart from the fact that they are such thick cores and you therefore need to keep them needle sharp, which is a shame. I might be unique here, but I'd like them to do a version of this range with a narrower barrel/core because then the fur aspect would be really well covered.

I have this set, and I'm really enjoying it. The colours added are really making this set a much more useful collection. Mine have sharpened much better than past sets, and I've had much less breakage than my 72 set. (Perhaps the packaging is better??) I'd still love a large set of the Drawings, I love the weight and thickness of the cores, and the feel of them to work with, please can we have some more Derwent, xx 🤞🤞 Either way, this set is in the right direction, we definitely need more larger sets, 72/100 isn't enough for me!😀

I was gifted a 6 pencil set of Derwent chromaflow and love the texture and how smoothly and easily they blended, unfortunately the colors in the set aren't as useful to me in what I like to draw, and I've been really wanting to fill out my color selection. It's awesome to see they're widening their color range, I wish they had them open stock so I could build up my collection.

[@blacktiger675]

They do sell these in Open Stock! I found them on Dick Blick and Jackson's Art Supply. Right now its just the first 72 colors but they'll put the rest out soon I'm sure! I hope this helps you!? I was thinking the same so investigated. 😁

Thanks so much, Harry. Great review. The pencils look fantastic.

[@angeliquehooijberg6885]

Always a pleasure to see your reviews. I didnt know they wanted to compeed with Prisma's.

[@marytesta3003]

I'm not a professional artist. Less than amateur really. Prismacolor pencils really inexpensive. If Chromaflow are made in the UK, not Mexico or China, I'll pay more for them. By the way, the not so new Inktense colors are really hard to get in the US. Even Jackson's doesn't have them all available. Thank you for a great review!

As an American, I used Crayola as a child, I knew nothing about ‘Prismas until about 10 years ago.lol

[@eileenreillyarts1229]

I love the Chromaflow. I brought them with me on my last trip and someone pointed out they have a lighter barrel that makes a bit of a difference. I wish companies would offer a set of the new colours as I have the 72 set and don't want to buy a new 150. As always I will probably go for openstock of the greens and greys. I'm a sucker for those. I saw Cult Pens has a set of 28 new colours.

[@lindakelly7430]

I just received the new 28 set from Cult Pens and they really are worth getting! X

[@be_a_bright_sparkle3687]

They will probably do the 78 in a tin as I have ordered the 78 in a wooden box which was on offer as a new release.🥰

Thank you for this review . I AM buying these for my birthday on 30th as a treat for myself hahahah Lovely video thanks for sharing xxxxxxx Happy Art

[@bunnysm]

Thank you for the review! I like these pencils, not my go-to, but they are soft and creamy and enjoyable. My problem is that Derwent doesn't offer these additional 78 colors as a separate set, even for a limited time. What do I do with my 72 set? I am not buying this one, but I might complement some colors, 30 or so.

[@LaraCroft2169]

I finally broke down and bought the 72 a few months ago. They are very good pencils. Would like to know if you think these are easier to use than the coloursoft range. I can’t wait to get these at some point. When will they be in stores? I live in the USA

[@jessicapp2545]

I would really love to see a comparisonvideo between Chromaflow, coloursoft and Prismacolor premier. I wonder what set would qualify as the best

[@mariatriesart8389]

I loved the lay down of the Chromaflow original 24 set sent to the US, and Canada. The only thing I disliked was that I found the pencils to be a thinner pencil and hoped that any bigger sets made would create a thickèr more robust pencil like the Derwent Procolour. Are the pencils the same size as their 24 set?

[@blacktiger675]

OH! These don't come out on Amazon US until July and I'm not sure if I want to wait! I hate my 150 set Prismas! I have them in a zippered case and last Summer I didn't touch them, come October I went to use them and every single pencil is cracked from top to bottom, on 2 sides of pencil! And they just crumble when I try to use them! So I need/want these so much. The purples and pinks in this set look beautiful. Thank you for this review! Wonderful video 😊💜

[@be_a_bright_sparkle3687]

I’ve ordered the 78 new colours in the wooden box, which should come from Cult Pens tomorrow. I already have the 72 set. Is the quality of the 150 set the same as the 72 set? In your opinion…🥰

[@jeanriendeau]

You are an honorable man Harry - have you heard if we will be able to fill in our 72 set, open stock availablty?

[@jessicazentz6454]

I am SO excited to get these new colors. I am curious tho. So when they came out with the new Inktense colors I was able to buy a set of just the new colors. So if I already have the 72 set of chromaflow, is there a set with just the new 78 colors? Or I have to buy the whole 150 set?

[@clare3980]

Thanks for the review, Harry! I like the Coloursoft range in tandem with Prismacolors. The Chromaflow pencils seem a bit dry to me. A bit unenthused about the pinks, as they lean purple and lacking in red pinks. I am very confused as to why the pencil is once again “ Made in England”. Unless I misunderstood your previous review about Derwent Lightfast pencils, the company worked hard to acquire the “Made in Britain” status. Has something changed?

[@carmenvogels-aagaard5559]

Thank you for the review. I have the Derwent Coloursoft and like them very much. Is it worth to buy these pencils too? I am not a great fan of the Prismacolors. I think they smeare to much.

[@sueharvey3933]

My 78 new ones arrive tomorrow I so excited!

Beautiful kingfisher. Excited about this new set

[@bobbichamberlain718]

I’m in the USA so will have to wait until July. At least that is what I was told when they would release here. I have the 72 set and don’t use them much because of the lack of colors. I do wish they sold an add on set for those like me who own the 72. Or sell open stock 🤞🏻

[@katarinaholik]

Wow I am becoming a real derwent fan.
