I have owned these for several months and I absolutely love them for all the reasons pointed out in your review. Something else amazing is their customer service. The best I have ever experienced for any product. When I received my set I had 2 duplicates. I contacted them asking if I could swap them for the missing colors. Their response was to send me another complete set, no charge AND......I had them within 2 days. Don't hate me....lol but I'm swimming in Arteza pencils. I can't wait for the new colors. Anyone hesitating...don't except maybe to wait for the new colors. Happy New Year!
I purchased a set of the Arteza Expert Pencils a couple of months ago and your review falls right in line with my evaluation of them. I love them and keep them handy to use in conjunction with my Prisma Premier pencils. I love your video's. You're very articulate and very thorough in explaining and covering every aspect of evaluating a product. Keep up the good work.
I have been thinking about buying these pencils, and I have to say this is the best, most thorough, thoughtful, and most complete pencil review I have ever watched. I will be checking out your other reviews before I purchase art supplies. You answered all the questions I usually want answered. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I have these and they’re the most used mid-range pencil I use. The only thing for me is that the colours are a bit too bright and we could do with some neutrals, as you said, although I use complementary colours to tone down where I need it. I also found that the golden writing comes off at some point, so it helps if one adds some transparent sticky tape over the barrel to preserve the colour name.
wow I really love how you made a lot of experiments in your review ..really helpful and very informative ..just showed a right amount of answers & information to the product!
Great review! I own these pencils and really like them, too. I also like they way they feel in my hand. Barrel feels more like a poly than a prisma. While I do love prismas, it is frustrating when the newly sharpened tip snaps and that they wear down quickly when using moderate pressure. I love the Artezas as a happy medium between polys and prismas at a very reasonable investment. I’d love to see you review the watercolor pencils which I’ve recently purchased but haven’t used. Thanks!
I have the Arteza pencils. I totally agree with you - they are a wonderful bargain! They stay sharp, they go down smooth and have great pigmentation! I think I got mine for under $30 when they were on sale on Amazon several months ago. It would be great to have more colors! Thank you for your review, Claire! Blessings~
Great review! I bought the 48 set over the summer and LOVE them. So much so that I asked my mom to get me the 72 set for Christmas (which ended up being in November because they went on amazon flash sale for $18 lol). My avi and banner are actually both WIPs using arteza’s and prismacolors together. They compliment each other perfectly. I love that they’re pigmented but a bit more translucent than the prismas, which gives a opportunity for some glazing effects that are a bit more difficult with the prismas. Plus, they lay down backgrounds and big areas really fast as a first layer since there is so much core to them and they’re so smooth (and you rarely have to re-sharpen). I would recommend these pencils to anyone and will totally be buying another set, especially if more colors are going to be added.
Claire, so happy you did this video! I have just purchased these pencils, and did not know whether to keep them or not; but after your review I can tell you that I will be keeping these wonderful pencils! Thank you again for the review, I can always count on you for honest, thorough reviews. xx
I have these for awhile and they are so creamy.Glad to see you do a wonderful review on them.Tip I learned the hard way is take clear nail polish and polish the names so they do not rub off and fade.
Hi Claire. Love your product reviews. I bought a set in September and have hardly used my Prismas since (still love them too) but I am having fun using the Arteza's in all different types of books!
Hi Claire. I have the Arteza watercolor pencils that I like to use for larger coloring spaces without water. I just ordered the 72 Peofessional Pencils after watching your video. I love my Prismas but wanted to try something a little softer than the Polychromos so these sound like what I'm looking for! Your reviews are always very helpful!
Great review! I got my set of 72 a few months ago but really only got into coloring with them a few weeks ago. I got the set for something like $18 when it was a flash deal on Amazon... couldn’t resist for that price! And what a deal they are! Really impressed with them so far. I picked up a bottle of odorless mineral spirits and some blending stumps the other day and I really love how they blend! Now I just need to work on my coloring technique. I also really need a case like you have! The trays are kind of awkward to deal with when you have limited table space.
Funny enough just ordered them today, as present to myself for some good news, after watching your review Claire I'm looking forward to receiving and trying out the pencils. Thank u x
Hi Claire, I bought my full set of Arteza pencils last week and am overwhelmingly pleased and impressed by their performance. Amazing pencils; amazing price. WOW! Marion UK
I just ordered this set of Arteza pencils, and then I found your review. I’m now more excited than ever and am waiting (im)patiently for them to arrive! Thank you for such a detailed review!
Excellent review! Exactly the information needed for someone wondering whether to take a chance on a particular brand. I had been hesitating due to the low price which usually means low quality, but your review convinced me to try them. Thank-you!
I have the 72 set and my first impression wasn’t great but... I am now realizing that I need to try different papers, more time and just fool with them more. See, I am learning! lol Love your videos and I am a devoted fan. Still catching up, but trying to keep up to date with the present day releases too. So super enjoy your channel! Thanx much, I’m learning many things and can already see an improvement in my coloring!!! Yay!!! See you soon. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have the Artezas and I love them. My feelings about these seem to mirror your own! I have actually found myself reaching for them more often than my Prismas. In fact, I haven't used my Prismas at all in 2 or 3 weeks! I'm having loads of fun playing around with different color combinations with these gorgeous pencils. Your review is spot on, in my opinion, and your picture is stunning!
Wow, an informative review. Particularly appreciate the cross branded blends, which is vital to know so thank you so much. I am going to purchase these to go alongside my Prismacolor premier set. Very grateful 🙏. I’ve subscribed 👍
I have the 72 set and absolutely love them!!! Unfortunately they are more expensive in Canada than the US but they are definitely cheaper in the UK. I use them together with the Prismas and get a much wider array of colours which is never a bad thing ☺️
I do have the 72 set and I love them. I have several sets of pencils like FC and Prismacolor, Lyra, FS just to name a few and the Arteza are my go to pencils. Now I just need to get the water color pencils I heard they are awesome too. Thanks for the great review ❤️👍🏻
I absolutely love all my Arteza products and their customer service is superb. Not sure if snyone else mentiond it, but there's a 120 set available now too.
I ordered these pencils as soon as I saw this review. I am looking forward to swatching them out as soon as I finish swatching my Prismas. Thank you for this review and all the videos you do, I really enjoy them.
I did buy them when they 1st came out with the 72 set. I have not yet started using them. Your review gives me more confidence to put my Prismas away and start using them in my not so favorite coloring books to get use to them. Nice review. Thank you. Your colored page is impressive.
I just ordered my set of Arteza's! I can't wait til I get them! I'm in the U.S. so I only paid $21.17 for my 72 CT set. Looks like I got a great deal on some really good pencils! Thank you, Claire for your review! I feel good about my purchase.
Loved your review of the Arteza pencils, it was sooooo thorough, loved all information you gave on the pencils, I do plan on buying these pencils. I also hope you plan on doing more videos using these pencils. Thanks again Claire.
I have these in my arsenal of coloured pencils but just haven't had the chance to use them much. But just swatching them was a pleasure. I certainly plan to make good use of them!
I was so impressed with my Arteza pencils. I love them. I was convinced nothing could compare with my Prismacolors. I'm not really good at layering, so I prefer my Prismas over Polychromos. However the Artezas are right up there with the Prismas.
Hi Claire, great review as always 👍🏻 I’ve got the Arteza pencils and even their watercolor pencils, and both sets are so good, I’m very happy to discover them months ago and Even their watercolour pen brush sets are really amazing in brightness and range of colours!! I definitely recommend this company!!! I love your videos
Great review Claire, they look like a wonderful pencil, the only fly in the ointment being the lack of open stock. I really don't need another set, but for anyone starting out with coloured pencils, they look ideal. I love your hardness comparison scale, I just think it would be great to see all the popular brands charted on it!
Thank you for your spot on review. I own a 72 set of Arteza as well and absolutely love them. I use them often with my Prismas and they work so well together. I really do hope they come out with new colors. I would not hesitate purchasing another set.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MISS CLAIRE I WAS JUST GIFTED THE SET OF 72 BEING THAT I HAVE BEEN USING CRAYOLA PENCILS I'M SO EXCITED ON HOW THESE PENCILS WORK MEANING COLOR, SOFTNESS , AND BLENDING THANK YOU SO MUCH BLESSINGS 😇🛫🛫🛫🛫
I got mine a few months ago after hearing so much about them and seeing another good review on you tube. Your review is perfect and even more complete . I totally agree., the Arteza pencils are fabulous! I look forward to more being made available. I do agree about the flimsy trays and I think I'll put mine in a case too..
Thank you for an excellent review. Probably the best , most complete review ever 👍 I’m really tempted by them to top up as I have some polychromos and some spectrum noir so wanted to see what people thought. You’ve answered my all my questions 😄
I have these pencils and have also gift🎁ed sets to my daughter and grandchildren. We also have the Arteza fine liners which help enhance our coloring experiences. I’d love to see a review of their watercolor pencils in the future.
I also have them and love them. I agree that they need more reds. But since they blend so well with other pencils I can usually find what I need to work. Thanks for the review
I have a set but unfortunately haven't been able to try them yet broke my shoulder its been a long road with it and my hand and elbow problems on same arm of course my dominant arm/ hand can't do much of anything. But can't wait to be released to try see if it hurts too bad end of the month find out. Thank you for such amazing reviews on everything you review your amazing talent of coloring. Wowzie are you fabulous hopefully one year I can be half as good as you are. Gosh I hope so. 😏
@@kimrichmond6308 thanks Kim yes that's what doctor said if I have to get another surgery from rushing this one asking for alot more time unfortunately so just waiting patiently for it to heal then be all set to start again. Thanks for your kind words.
I am thinking about you and hoping you recover nicely. I want you to be able to color because as we all know it's not only fun but therapudic as well. :-)
Another great video! I would love it if you would add more pencils to your hardness scale, I know it’s based on your personal experience, but I would love to see where other budget and or artist pencils fall in relation to each other. So far I think my irojitens are the hardest pencils I have used.
This was my first set of pencils. I didn't find them as easy to use as you do. I quickly switched to Prismacolors, then Polychromos. For some reason my mind has them as a harder lead. I guess I'll need to get them out and try again now that I have a bit more experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these.
I have a 36 set of Polychromos and I was about to buy the 72 set from Prismacolor when going to the UK and I was a bit divided between them and the Arteza. After this review I think I will postpone the purchase of prismacolors to another time and get an Arteza set. Thanks for the great review.
Hi Claire! Thank you for a lovely review as always. Could you do a comparison between the Arteza and the new-ish Goldfaber pencils from Faber Castell? The Goldfabers are almost twice the price of the Arteza, so I'm wondering which would be the better buy for a budget buy.
I have both and while I really like and enjoy the Goldfabers, I prefer the Artezas. Goldfabers are so lightweight, it almost feels like I'm not holding anything in my hand when I use them. That worries me a little. I keep thinking if I use too much pressure, they'll snap. Goodfabers are nice and go down very smoothly, but for vibrancy and durability, Arteza is the definite winner and the price is unbeatable.
@@crystalfranklin2583 Thank you for the reviews. I confess I'm a huge fan of Faber Castell and Derwent companies, so I'm partial to their products. But the 48 Goldfaber pencils are around $40 while the same size Arteza set is less than $20! So even if they're half as good as Goldfaber, they're worth the price. But if they're just as good? Sign me up! I actually have about 6 full sets of artist quality pencils but they're a pain to carry, to travel or even if I want to color away from my desk. I'm looking for a smaller budget set and the Arteza seems perfect!
I already have the 72 peace set. Thanks for this review, it's very informative for me 😍 Could you make a tutorial how to colour a skin and face with Arteza? I' ll be waiting very much! ☺️🤗
They do look good, I don’t have the funds to get any at the moment but when my current pencils get low I think I’ll maybe get these. Thanks for the review
Great review. I have the 72 count set and I love them. It's great to here that they are coming out with more colors. That would be awesome if they did the new ones separate. I now use these more than the Prisma's. Mine break all the time. Love your reviews! :)
Any updates on when the new colors are coming out and whether they will offer the full expanded range in one box? Also, any news on plans to offer these pencils in open stock?
If you go to the Arteza website, they're $1 cheaper with free shipping, and if you create an account you can earn points towards dollar off, and they'll send you coupons and specials to your email! I have the watercolor pencils, but may have to get these, even though I got the 150 Prisma set for myself for Christmas! Thanks for the review!
Hi, Claire! Always love your reviews. Quick and thorough! Question: Do you know whether Arteza ever made more colors or if they have started offering open stock? I saw where they are offering refillable markers now, and you can also get their brush pens (water-based markers) in open stock packs of 4, but I haven't seen anything more about pencils. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm behind on my supplies knowledge. :) Thank you!
@@ColourwithClaire Ah. Hopefully soon! I'd buy them four pencils at a time if that's the only way they can make it feasible for the company. Hate it when I really love pencils but I have to buy a second set when I use one up.
I ordered these today because their site has 20% off currently. After I bought them I decided to look for an actual review, I saw yours and I knew I could trust it! I have just recently gotten into adult coloring and I absolutely love your reviews and learn so much! I do have a quick question, what type of pencil sharpener do you use? I have yet to find one I like!
I have owned these for several months and I absolutely love them for all the reasons pointed out in your review. Something else amazing is their customer service. The best I have ever experienced for any product. When I received my set I had 2 duplicates. I contacted them asking if I could swap them for the missing colors.

Just got the 72 set , thanks for the review . I like them to.
Great review! I'd buy these but I got the 120 Poly set for Christmas.
I have these in my arsenal of coloured pencils but just haven't had the chance to use them much. But just swatching them was a pleasure. I certainly plan to make good use of them!
This is by far the most helpful comparison video, I'm in need of new pencils and this was extremely helpful :)
Your swatches are so pretty and organized 😻 video was very helpful! 👍🏻

Hi Claire, have got these but haven't played around with them yet. Like you, I love the colour names😃Looking forward to new colours.
Amazing review! Your chart of comparaison is super usefull and clear, we can see everything in once, I love the comparaison with poly an prisma
I love these because they actually have a cute name for each pencil and now just a number.
I have these pencils and totally agree with your review. With these and my Prismas, my colouring pencil collection feels complete.
Excellent, efficient review! Nice explanations & samples. Yes I have Arteza, have only swatched. Ty Ms Claire!
This was a great review, very in depth! Thanks for sharing!
Great review Claire, they look like a wonderful pencil, the only fly in the ointment being the lack of open stock.

I love your hardness comparison scale, I just think it would be great to see all the popular brands charted on it!
Thank you Claire! I hoped that you would review them, because I know I can trust your opinion on pencils. They are now definitely on my wish list!💕

I have those pencils for a while and just started using them. I liked them so much.
I have the watercolour version which I've just used dry. I am impressed with how they perform.
Bright review! I have to agree about the Artisans being in between in texture. They really are a great pencil.
This was an absolutely brilliant review, just bought these and I can't wait to get them!
Thank you for your brilliant review. I purchased a set of these for my sketch book, so I could save my Faber Castell set for projects. 🇨🇦
Happy New Year. Ms.Claire, I have these pencils and they are amazing! I am waiting for there bigger set coming soon.
Fantastic review! Thank you for going into so much practical detail, it was very helpful and has made my mind up to go for Arteza over Prismacolour.
Thank you for the thorough, thoughtful, and informative review!
Brill review yet again thanks Claire! The Pencils are now in my Amazon basket x
Thank you for the clear and detailed review Claire! This pencil is on my wish list, for now Im waiting for my Prisma to arrive.
I have a set but unfortunately haven't been able to try them yet broke my shoulder its been a long road with it and my hand and elbow problems on same arm of course my dominant arm/ hand can't do much of anything. But can't wait to be released to try see if it hurts too bad end of the month find out. Thank you for such amazing reviews on everything you review your amazing talent of coloring. Wowzie are you fabulous hopefully one year I can be half as good as you are. Gosh I hope so. 😏
I hope you get better quickly Brenda!
@@ColourwithClaire thanks dear.
Best wishes for continuing healing and for extra emphasis for patience during healing. Don’t rush - it costs far more time in the long run.
@@kimrichmond6308 thanks Kim yes that's what doctor said if I have to get another surgery from rushing this one asking for alot more time unfortunately so just waiting patiently for it to heal then be all set to start again. Thanks for your kind words.
I am thinking about you and hoping you recover nicely. I want you to be able to color because as we all know it's not only fun but therapudic as well. :-)
Thanks I have been wondering about these. Now they’re on my wishlist!
I have a set of 48 and have swatched them but nothing more. Now I look forward to using them.
Another great video! I would love it if you would add more pencils to your hardness scale, I know it’s based on your personal experience, but I would love to see where other budget and or artist pencils fall in relation to each other. So far I think my irojitens are the hardest pencils I have used.
As always an excellent review. You really are fabulous with the information you give. 🙏 Claire
Great review Claire I shall look at getting these in the future maybe to take with me when I’m working away. TFS x
This was my first set of pencils. I didn't find them as easy to use as you do. I quickly switched to Prismacolors, then Polychromos. For some reason my mind has them as a harder lead. I guess I'll need to get them out and try again now that I have a bit more experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these.
I bought these as soon as they became available and absolutely love them. Prefer them to my Luminance!
I have a 36 set of Polychromos and I was about to buy the 72 set from Prismacolor when going to the UK and I was a bit divided between them and the Arteza. After this review I think I will postpone the purchase of prismacolors to another time and get an Arteza set. Thanks for the great review.
Fab review Claire xx
Thanks for your review.
Just clicked on this and already gave it a thumbs up! This is going to be a great video!! X☺️
Hi Claire! Thank you for a lovely review as always. Could you do a comparison between the Arteza and the new-ish Goldfaber pencils from Faber Castell? The Goldfabers are almost twice the price of the Arteza, so I'm wondering which would be the better buy for a budget buy.
I’ll see if I can get those x
I have both and while I really like and enjoy the Goldfabers, I prefer the Artezas. Goldfabers are so lightweight, it almost feels like I'm not holding anything in my hand when I use them. That worries me a little. I keep thinking if I use too much pressure, they'll snap. Goodfabers are nice and go down very smoothly, but for vibrancy and durability, Arteza is the definite winner and the price is unbeatable.
@@crystalfranklin2583 Thank you for the reviews. I confess I'm a huge fan of Faber Castell and Derwent companies, so I'm partial to their products.
But the 48 Goldfaber pencils are around $40 while the same size Arteza set is less than $20! So even if they're half as good as Goldfaber, they're worth the price. But if they're just as good? Sign me up!
I actually have about 6 full sets of artist quality pencils but they're a pain to carry, to travel or even if I want to color away from my desk. I'm looking for a smaller budget set and the Arteza seems perfect!
@@sugarcandy243 Small world! Next in line on my wish list is Polychromos and Derwent Inktense!
Very thorough review. I have the arteza and I also love them.
I already have the 72 peace set. Thanks for this review, it's very informative for me 😍 Could you make a tutorial how to colour a skin and face with Arteza? I' ll be waiting very much! ☺️🤗
I will!
Had a set bought for Xmas very very happy with them and Thank you for your review
Great job! I will be purchasing these next!
Ok Claire you convinced me...lol! Thanks for the review. I'm adding these to my buy list.
They do look good, I don’t have the funds to get any at the moment but when my current pencils get low I think I’ll maybe get these. Thanks for the review
Great review. I have the 72 count set and I love them. It's great to here that they are coming out with more colors. That would be awesome if they did the new ones separate. I now use these more than the Prisma's. Mine break all the time. Love your reviews! :)
Thanks for the awesome review! Just ordered the 72 set!
Any updates on when the new colors are coming out and whether they will offer the full expanded range in one box? Also, any news on plans to offer these pencils in open stock?
Thanks for the review.
Thank you for your review. I was thinking on trying them out.
If you go to the Arteza website, they're $1 cheaper with free shipping, and if you create an account you can earn points towards dollar off, and they'll send you coupons and specials to your email! I have the watercolor pencils, but may have to get these, even though I got the 150 Prisma set for myself for Christmas!
Thanks for the review!
Hi, Claire! Always love your reviews. Quick and thorough! Question: Do you know whether Arteza ever made more colors or if they have started offering open stock? I saw where they are offering refillable markers now, and you can also get their brush pens (water-based markers) in open stock packs of 4, but I haven't seen anything more about pencils. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm behind on my supplies knowledge. :)
Thank you!
No open stock as yet x
@@ColourwithClaire Ah. Hopefully soon! I'd buy them four pencils at a time if that's the only way they can make it feasible for the company. Hate it when I really love pencils but I have to buy a second set when I use one up.
I ordered these today because their site has 20% off currently. After I bought them I decided to look for an actual review, I saw yours and I knew I could trust it! I have just recently gotten into adult coloring and I absolutely love your reviews and learn so much! I do have a quick question, what type of pencil sharpener do you use? I have yet to find one I like!
I use the swordfish manual crank sharpener x
Thank you! And thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
Thanks so much for uploading an Arteza pencil review! I'm curious about them!
