Holbein 150 Artist's Coloured Pencils | Review

[@ArtistJane]

Aaah yes! My absolutely FAVORITE COLORED PENCIL! So gorgeous. It’s the best of both worlds - wax, oil, etc. The experience of using these over the years has brought nothing short of joy to me.

[@mytube1728]

I love your reviews. Not boring to listen to. And you are able to explain the important details.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Hazel Tan Ahh thank you!

[@elrilmoonweaver4723]

My god, 150 of these cost almost as much as a month's salary for me O.o Would be nice to have them tho. I love how vibrant they are.

[@robertacolarette1594]

Those pencils are gorgeous. Too expensive for me. I would love to try them or just “look” at that set of pastels. Lovely.

[@SilverrWinter]

How beautiful and vibrant! I would love to try them after I gain more experience with coloring.

[@evaroach2867]

When I bought mine the manufacturer of Holbeins was saying that they were made with a new special wax. All oil pencils are a mix of oil and wax. It would be great if companies would list % of oil to wax. I combine my Polychromers with my Holbeins and together you have a perfect mix. IMO I feel I need to say my Prismacolor Premieres have everything I need without needing to rely on another set. It's my on the road set because of this.

[@mchobbit2951]

So you want to say that the FULL HOLBEIN SET doesn't have everything you need but the Prisma set does?? I have a hard time believing that looking at everything included in the Holbein set. If anything, they have MORE than your beloved Prismas.

[@janetdanes7945]

A great review, Claire. Thank you. Your Australian viewers may like to know Amazon (Japan) is still cheaper than eBay. It is unbeatable with its three day delivery to Australia, good shipping rate and secure packaging. I bought my set from there and with my reward points was able to purchase these with no cost for the shipping. I appreciate knowing how to purchase open stock replacements so thank you for the link.

[@lo3551]

Janet Danes Wow that is cheap. Wish I’d known before I got mine. Thanks so much for that Janet😊

[@bellacervantes9888]

I've been looking for a very long time from Amazon, I am from the U.S. but can't seem to find them. I've hit a brick wall. As in other words, I can't seem to go any further 😭💔

[@BeautyMommysUnite]

@@bellacervantes9888 you cant get them on Amazon in the us. Maybe check the Japan version of Amazon as she said above, that's where she got hers. But idk if they ship to the us. In which case your only other option is ebay.

[@christinehoude6671]

Janet Danes, I'm trying to order a set of 150 Holbein's from Amazon Japan. I opened an Amazon account there and registered my credit card. Made the purchase but then got something that said I needed a "pay id" number. Got it but I haven't a clue how to complete this transaction. Do you have any suggestions?

[@janetdanes7945]

Christine Houde...hmmm, I’m not sure. I had this happen once and think it is actually your bank requesting your Pay ID number for security. I’d ask your bank as I think it’s not connected to Amazon Japan. Also, I’m not able to re-order from Amazon, Japan. I use to order colouring books from there as well, but since Amazon Australia opened up, I can only purchase from them. Anything from the US has to also go through Amazon, AU at the moment, with no direct ordering from them. Hope this helps.

[@cathyo6710]

I bought the small pastel set a year ago, and just bought the full set of 150. Totally worth the money!,

[@ninanicholas8447]

Cathy O how much is the pastel set

[@freyaaldrnari6086]

I was gifted a set of 50. They are incredible... I love them.💖

[@meggles9496]

Hi Claire, I was already saving for these at the time you released this review and was waivering in my resolve thinking that it was maybe too much money for them and I already own lots of pencils. Well long story short, finally reached my savings goal and got the nerve up to use Buyee to purchase them from Amazon Japan and save a few dollars. They arrived this week and I stayed up late last night to swatch out some.... I've only done the first tray but am in love with them already, can't wait to get to the pastel colours!!! Thanks for your review.

[@whitebirdart1696]

Now this is interesting- I lived in Japan and used Holbein products, and for some reason I didn't even know they made pencils! I used the Irojiten, which are not really all that soft, but were packaged beautifully as most things Japanese are. Thanks for the review, I'll definitely keep an eye out for them next time I'm in Japan!

[@dominiquedoucet-lavigne4207]

I love your reviews! I'm still a newby with coloured pencils but am gaining confidence. Your tutorials are super helpful and your product reviews are my go-to before I buy any new sets! :)

I did see these in the art supplies stores in Japan, had not heard about them so I didn't really look too much into them. Will probably buy the 50 pencil pack before I head back home. Thank you for the review :)

I want these for about an year or more! I have a 12 set of pastels. Looove them. As soon as possible I'm going to get the full set as well. They are amazing! And you're they are between the Prismas and the Polychromos. Love how they color so easily.

I bought the 150 set June of 2017 and I love them.

[@tinatomaszewski6473]

I certainly wish all the other pencil brands would supply a chart like these have. They do like really similar to the Faber Castells. I think the gold band towards the bottom is set a little lower on the FC's. I love the metallic selection these have and that they're oil & wax based. Interesting that they have two different whites. And, finally, the pastels are to die for! No wonder they're $300. One more thing for the wishlist! Thanks for the great review Claire!!!

[@eloise7168]

Thanks for your helpful and informative review Claire. These pencils look awesome but a bit too pricey for me sadly. There is a set of the pastel shades on Amazon UK though...I might try those. I have ordered the pencil sharpener. Looks good!

[@juliemaitland1176]

I have wanted some Holbein pencils for a long time but just could not justify the price. I had a 12 set of pastel tones and longed for that bottom layer. I have been having a bit of a sort out of my pencil sets and coming across my “precious” mini pastel set I decided to see what was available now and how much they were. Amazon was, as usual, my first port of call and I was surprised to see other sets than the 150. Still quite an outlay but a more realistic price. I then had a look on eBay and they had just one set left of 50 pastel tones - the bottom layer I so wanted. Then I quickly went to Jackson’s art supplies who were very low on stock and more expensive anyway. BUT they had single pencils (£3 each). In my mind this immediately made buying Holbein a whole new ball game. They haven’t got many in stock but they expected September delivery. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ordered the 50 pastel tones set from eBay at just under £100 inclusive of postage and no customs charges. There was an estimated 4 weeks or so delivery from Japan. Barely a week later the package arrived - I was amazed. I’m over the 🌓 to get them so quickly and they are all I thought they would be. Now I have that little niggling doubt whether I should have got the full set. I could get more colours open stock but they would work out much dearer than buying them all together. The other 50 set duplicates some of the colours I now have but it may be a viable option, with a few more singles to cover the colours I would need. I think I’ll try and decide on the most useful colours to me (as often the difference between two colours is small) and buy a few at a time as I can afford it. I urge you to be aware when buying the smaller sets that if you have the means, even though you shouldn’t, you might well wish you had bought the whole 150 set. Especially as you know you can replenish most used.colours open stock. I also wonder if, in fact, they are the most expensive on the market since Derwent brought out Lightfast. I never added up what it cost to get a full set of those the way they put them out at three different times. Not sure I would have got them if I’d been aware what a set would end up costing. At least they come open stock (from Cult Pens) I think at £3 the same as the Holbein. I only wrote this comment to make sure others knew where to get Holbein open stock and that you could now buy the coveted pastel tones alone but ended up writing too much. The bottom line is buy the most you can somehow afford knowing you can keep your set complete with open stock.

[@mjpete27]

Nicely done Thanks! for the showcase of these pencils!

[@MrAmin7000]

Wowwwww, the pastel colors are awesome

[@lo3551]

Thank you. I love these pencils. I actually got the 12 pencils first then fell in love and bought the 150 🌹

[@lo3551]

Leila Leigh I’m so sorry Leila that I did not see your question. 3 mths later here we are🙄. I love all 3 brands but I’m the type of colourist who loves to use the pencil I feel suits the paper and illustration so imo I’d mix and match often and these 3 brands are my favourites but I must add I adore Luminance. My only issue I’d love more than 74 colours. Polychromos are definitely the hard pencil I’m sure you’ve heard with Prismas being so much softer. Holbeins are soft like the Prismas rather than hard as the Polys but there’s no comparison. Nor is there pricewise. I have 2x Prismas 150 simply for doubles as I find they wear down so much faster than others. I wait for sales and it was far cheaper for me to do that than keep replacing singles. If you can afford it Holbeins are the best imo. In fact I added the 150 pastels when I found them on sale as doubles. To sum up polychromos is the better bargain if you don’t mind a harder lead but are not cheap. Prismas you can often find at a bargain price and they lay down easily and blend easily but quality wise they do not compare to polychromos and not to Holbeins at all. Look at what you’d like to do with your pencils eg soft and easy lay down and lower cost ie Prismas 150 colour choice or pay extra and have a harder lead that still lays down beautifully and those are polychromos but only 120 colours. If you have the funds I’d buy Holbeins for lay down, blending and colour choice esp pastel shades. Hope this helps🤗🌹

[@ndurrett808]

thank you Claire for sharing this amazing pencil review. I feel that if i ever get to the point where i can afford a top pencil brand, Holbein will be my ultimate choice thanks to your awesome review.

[@Trish_Carmichael]

Such a gourgeous set of pencils! I'm drooling over the keyboard haha, those pastels are gorgeous, it's not easy to get light colors. My country, Argentina, has a super abusive customs tax (punishment) for everything you buy abroad, it doesn't matter if it's a gift or just one piece for personal use. We pay 50% of the total value (item plus shipping values), and now, on top pf that you also have a high tax if you spend in foreign money with your credit card, like 60% I guess, so buying a huge set like this would be totally unreachable for me. I need a Han Solo to smuggle it for me lol or probably need to flee to a happier land lol.

Or are these your fave? I’m sorry that is a really difficult question and I realise different pencils for do / for different things, but I really would love to know!! Would these or lumi, or lightfast or Pablo be in the top? I would LOVE to hear your ranking / preference (1,2 3, 4 ) if you have the chance please !!

I was sold on these clair. until the price came up! Lol.I'm trying to decide which of the larger sets to get? I think you use a lot of the prisms colours for blending. I tried a small pack but found them to go muddy and not sharp looking.But I think it was probably my lack of skill? What do you think. Ive seen the fabulous results you acheive, so I guess that answers my question. I have a 24 set of Faber castle poly cromos, which I like but find they are difficult to blend. It's frustrating when I have a limited colour stock as it makes it impossible to follow along with tutorils. I hope you see my message and can guide me. Thanks for your helpful tutorials.

Hi! Absolutely love your review. I am a beginner in using colour pencils and just got my Faber Castell Polychromos 120 which I absolutely love. I’ve read up a lot on colour pencils and avoided wax pencils because of wax bloom. These look absolutely lovely and I understand they are a combination of wax, oils and fats. Can I just get your feedback if you face issues when it comes to wax bloom with these?

[@cateyes3813]

Good review, very informative. Perhaps the only thing I would suggest is a written, bullet point list at the end of the video stating the positives and negatives of these pencils, which are applicable to every product a person can be - everything has good and bad points, even if they are somewhat almost perfect. Obviously, one glaring negative would be the cost and also that they are not available to purchase as a single pencil, which is important to me as yes, they might be included in a cheaper, 12 pack version etc but even so, the 12 packs are still not cheap and I might not necessarily want all of the other 11 pencils included in that 12 pack range. But otherwise, as i said - overall a good review and very informative. Thank you for that and also thank you for including the links - that is very helpful 🙏

I know they have smaller sets that are cheaper for anyone interested. I saw a pastel set on Ebay for around $30. But it's only a 12 set. So still really expensive for what you are getting but affordable compared to the bigger sets. It's a shame. I'd love to try them. I might get the pastel set in the future though

Do these colored pencils blend well similar to Prismacolor and Polychromos? Thank you!
