Pastelowe Colored Pencils And Holbein Pastel Tone Colored Pencils

[@lilithmoody7356]

Hi Harry! I love your channel, found you through Lindsay's (thefrugalcrafter) praise of your reviews, which are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing your garden studio! Congrats on that. In this review the best part was your invention of the comparative hardness scale. Please, please, please put all the pencils on this comparative scale for those of us with arthritic or impaired hands! Love you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Congrats on the new studio!

[@pennyharvey181]

Hi Harry - ooohhh how lovely your own little 'man cave' and you don't have to tidy up every time! Make sure you get a decent kettle in there (and a beer fridge of course xx) xxx

[@ellietodd393]

So happy for you. I can hear your excitement and share it. Having had a studio and lost it I know what it means. My loss is temporary so nothing t worry about. Enjoy.

[@lovetobecolouring2]

Yay about the new studio! Yes astras are pretty cool. Love your reviews. X

[@catchia5752]

Harry, so excited for you! Congrats on the new studio! I can understand how excited you are, I would be! A quiet personal space all for yourself without disturbing others and vice versa. I would like to have me own, too. Look forward to more reviews from you.

[@wanderingstar5673]

Congratulations 🎉! So happy your Artist Man Cave is coming to fruition. Looking forward to a virtual tour when it’s done.

[@tiffanybluetarot]

I’m excited FOR you!! How neat to have a studio in your garden. Enjoy it!! Thank you for taking the time to do this review as well. I’ve got the Marco pastels, which have tided me over…but I’ve been wanting the Holbein set so very much. ((Luckily I’ve kept my wits about me…as that wouldn’t be a very wise purchase for me to make. 😁)) Anyhow, cheers to you! Thanks for all you so generously do for all of us subscribers.

[@mjpete27]

Grand review! I have enjoyed watching your videos and believe you have always had high standards! I do understand that sharing your space is difficult and I join the rest of your viewers in congratulations on getting your dedicated work space, and in your garden is a real bonus too! Prices change so please don’t worry about it! Thank you for sharing all of your expertise with us!

[@saltandiron3379]

Wow! These colors are very alluring and vibrant.

[@adeletoughral4440]

I love my pastelowe, I got mine straight from Poland with under a gbp postage and they cost me just under £12... I just numbered mine 1-50 as they came then put them in a pencil case in my own order. Great review as always. Congrats on your own space 😁

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

I got the brutfuner pastel pencils that Lindsey reviewed from Ali on andstal shop and I really like them. The only budget pencil I have.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I have those too! Great Holbein dupes.

[@amandaparker5086]

Hi! I received the full set of Holbeins for Christmas and they came with an officially stamped letter that says they have been ASTM tested. Hopefully that will ease everyone’s doubts. Thank you for the review!💚

[@tinniaphillips4059]

Love your channel. Thank you for your honest reviews. 😊✌

[@pythonsequel2924]

Your illustrations are very beautiful. You are such a talented artists. I look forward to one day when you decide to start selling prints or original art.

[@lizziebarry5287]

hi Harry I love pastlelowe pencils I wish I could play with them in my coloring books. I own quite a few pencils right now and I am going to the Derwent pencil place in UK soon so I hope to get my own set of 72 Derwent colored pencil set soon Lizzie Barry from the isle of man

[@sunnycharacter]

Awe, sweet Koda nose! Love him!

[@stephanie_smith]

Thanks for the review! I bought these last year and then I ended up buying the Brutfuner Macaroons which appear to be a closer dupe perhaps. Perhaps you can dp a review on those? They seem more pigmented door a similar price to the pastelowes. Plus they have numbers that much up to the Holbein's

[@paulalister80]

Congratulations on the new studio. Was very interested in your chart on hardness. Wow Derwent artist set was thinking of getting a few but I know now that my hand would never be able to use these so thank you for this information. Have a lovely week.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Thanks Harry. Great review as always.

[@LaraCroft2169]

How do they compare to castle art pastel tint ? I just got the castle art and honestly I’m so spoiled by Prismacolor I felt they could be softer . Thank you for you hard work! Love the channel . Can’t wait to see you art studio

[@corriemcginnis4400]

I love the Pastlelowe pencils. But with all the pastel sets, I am still wanting lighter pastels. I really like the few pencils out there that are barely there colors. Maybe one day it will be the next new thing. 50pc set of barely there colors. Fingers crossed. And I agree, they need a number.

[@wanderingstar5673]

I use stickers that I purchase on Amazon to number all of my pencil sets consecutively starting with one. Many sets are numbered erratically. I like mine in color order that corresponds to the color wheel. Makes them easy to read and keep in order. One could do this with this set. Immediately number this set so they don’t get out of order then use the corresponding number on your swatch sheet. Hope this helps.

[@mayankbiswas7076]

Harry deserve that outside studio after all how much money he has saved

[@astridgarcia888]

Thank you so much Harry !

[@karentuckman6900]

Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking for a set but have found most to be a little pricier than I can afford right now.

[@aviewisaview]

Thumbs up

[@twingytwango6971]

I love love love ASTRA pencils. Too bad they don't make a bigger range of their poly colours and water colours.

[@TheMountainWulf]

I love how well they do, even though they are about a hundred bucks cheaper.

[@cateyes3813]

Hi! 👋 Just atm, I'm actually currently on a hunt for Neon pencils and trying to find any that don't have that horrible/uneven/waxy lay down that the majority of Neon pencils have. But!☝️I just noticed when I looked at your colour chart, one green in particular looked VERY Neon, so I'm considering getting these pencils just for that one very neonish looking Green. Have you come across any pencils that are Neon that have a good lay down? Also, would you consider doing an investigation for the Neon sets that are currently out there to try to find the best Neon pencils out there? The reason I'm asking you is because I know what sort of... rigorous tests that you run on every set of pencils that you review, so I put a lot of stock in your reviews and feel a lot more reassured to take a chance and buy a set of pencils that I'm unfamiliar with if you've done a review of them 👍

[@nattyw495]

Hello art community can anyone tell what country manifactures the pastelowe st..thank you fir amy information about the country of manufacturing...mikelle art mom👩‍🎨🎨✍

[@TheArtGearGuide]

I’ve just checked the box and I am almost sure they are Polish made in Poland or that part of Europe.

[@TheArtGearGuide]

I will double check later and confirm that for you

[@nattyw495]

@@TheArtGearGuide thank you so much for your reply so quickly its really kind of you to find out and reply to me ...mikelle art mom👩‍🎨🎨✍

[@LonitaFraser]

I always sort pencils into the order _I_ want before I swatch or use them.

[@PrincessMadeira]

As an artist who also wears makeup, I'm like "...if Prismacolor can make a colored pencil that's lightfast for a hundred years for 1.50 a pencil open stock and crayola can make a crayon you can eat without getting poisoned for even less, why is my eyeliner pencil 20 bucks"

[@knp01]

You won't find anything like colour names in any product by Astra, becuase they do only kindergarten/early school type of supplies. The cheapest it can be, while being good enough. To print anything else but the set name, would require extra work and extra stamps, at least 50 in this case. By having only one type of info also speeds up production, because you don't have to do the stop to sort the colors. I have no idea, why Astra's products got to be the hot stuff on YT, but here in Poland, nobody pretends these are good for actual art. The set you have costs literally 12 USD taxed here. Why is anybody expect anything else but a absolute basics.

[@TheArtGearGuide]

I don’t think anybody expects awesome things from a set such as this especially given the price and the only reason a set such as this was reviewed in the first place, was to try and source a pastel set of colored pencils similar to the third layer of Holbein Colored Pencils.
