[@sharonpaterson1281]

What a beautiful video I have a degree in art and design stopped drawing about 20 years ago kids and life happened haha theve left home and im now disabled so got back into it as I can’t work and was going stir crazy I remember drawing grapes on my first ever lesson at art college and it drove me insane hahaha 🤣 this video did make me smile im going to have a look at your channel now I was looking for info on new art supplies and was looking at that Faber-Castell red thank you ❤

Thank you Sharon for your lovely comments. I too had a long break in my art career bringing up kids. It's lovely now having time to play with art and do what I love. Art is such a wonderful relaxing therapy. I always tell people that the end product isn't important, it's the enjoyment of making art that is important. Take care and welcome to my channel. Happy Painting. Carie. X

Thank you Jozh. I also love these pencils. I think they are particularly good for learning with as you don't have to invest a lot of money but you get a good quality pencil. Carie. X

You're drawing is amazing and you sound like a lovely person. I bought the 48 set of these pencils and I love them.

[@cariesauzepaintings7117]

Thank you @TmarkN for your lovely comments. It inspires me to make more videos when I get comments like yours. I really like these budget pencils. I'm going to have a go at doing a portrait using just their set of twelve pencils to see how that works. Enjoy your pencil drawing journey. Carie. X

Thank you ❤is it wax based?

[@cariesauzepaintings7117]

I don't think so. I found them more chalky than waxy. I went to Faber-Castell's website to try and find out what they say but couldn't find any information. I find "Prismacolor" pencils to be very waxy in texture and I'm not keen on them but many people rave about them. Faber-Castell pencils are definitely my favourite over Derwent as well. And the "Classic" range are really good value. Hope this helps. Happy Painting. Carie.

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 thank you very much.🌹🌹🌹

[@jaweriarajput4236]

can we use this colour pencils on watercolor paint base

[@cariesauzepaintings7117]

Hi jaweriarajput4236, I haven't actually tried this but I can't see why it wouldn't work? Have a go and see and let me know. I have used coloured pencils in the past on top of dry watercolor paint to add subtle colour as in shading on portraits and to add subtle rosy cheeks. Good luck and happy painting. Carie.

I Am Totally New At Colouring, I Don't Have A Big Budget Are They Easy To Blend? Thank You take Caee

[@cariesauzepaintings7117]

Hi Debbie, I find them easy to blend and out of all the budget priced pencils these are the best I have found so far. A lot of the cheaper pencils have very pale colours and no matter how many layers they just do not increase in depth of colour , whereas the Faber Castell pencils are very vibrant. I also use their professional sets which have a much wider range of colours and the wood is better quality but the difference in price is huge and I think as a starter pencil these "Classic" pencils are great and you may never want to change. This is entirely my own experience and impartial opinion as I do not have any affiliation to Faber Castell. Good luck on you colouring journey. There are lots of lovely videos on You Tube to give you ideas with coloured pencils. Kirsty Partridge is particularly good and does amazing coloured pencil drawings. Thank you . Regards. Carie. x
