These lessons are more important than just picking a color and coloring with it. We all did that as kids with our crayons. When you begin to play with the colors and see what you get when you layer or blend, you are really on your way. The older you get, and the more colors you train your eyes to see, the richer the art experience. That is why you are a jewel in the art world: you want people to see the possibilities you can make with X pencil, not just that one color. Thank you.
When I ordered the pencils it said my delivery date was in January. They came today! Yay! They were well packed in a cardboard sleeve and in another box. No bag or sack. Yay, early Christmas for me!
I swear if be a better artist today if Lori had taught my art classes in highschool! This pencil set song with these videos is going to teach so many people so much!
This will help all your subscribers who bought these pencils will help them tremendously. You are soooooooo talented 👏 ❤ teaching 👏 ❤ us all that you do. To be able to create colors that match Prismacolor pencils for people who couldn't afford to buy a set to know you can create colors you wouldn't ever expect to be able to do. I'm soooooooo glad nearly 4 years ago I am pretty sure I ran across your channel and have followed you ever since learning so much it may of been longer than that can't remember for sure. Just know since I found your channel I haven't missed watching 1 video. If I had surgery or was sick it may of taken me awhile to get caught up but I have put a like on every single video I have watched. 😁❤💯% Thanks Lori for everything you have done for us. Bringing us into your home showing us your family your furbabies and birds and your other sweet babies.
I just this minute opened my set and I got one of the first sets because Rose Red Pink was on the right! Im swatching them now and am in *love*. To anybody who's on the fence about buying these, the cores are so similar to Polychromos that I had to get out my small set of Polys to compare. They go down so smoothly. They are packaged so beautifully. I didn't know to request a box but Andy had done a good job protecting them as they were wrapped in a layer of cardboard outside and they are so firmly packed inside that there was no movement. Anyway, thank you for these color combos. Seriously, Lori and Andy, you have made a set of lovely tools to be proud of.
Thanks Lori! Your color combinations are so nice. Thanks for taking the time to share them with us! I hope you and your husband are doing well. Big hugs!
I just received my Star JoyGold pencils. They are beautiful in every way. I feel like I finally know what I’m doing. Loved Lori’s tutorial on blending new colors.
Got my set today and they are gorgeous! They blend beautifully and feel good in my hand. Love the matte finish and thrilled to be able to actually see the color names on the pencils without squinting! Info in this video very helpful. Thanks Lori!
Arrggg. My pencils arrived this morning and I’ve been too busy to play with them. My fingers are burning off!!! Tomorrow I’ll sharpen them and put them in the 200 slot case they will share with my Deli pencils. I was worried about how I was going to organize them but you took care of that. They will go in numeric order just like my Delis. So excited. Thank you for the early Christmas!
These pencils work like polychromos! I am used to working with oil pencils and now that I try to work with prismacolor I end up with a mudy colour if I am not that careful! Thank you for showing us how to create new colours!
Awesome!! This is one area that I have a lot of difficulty with especially with oil pencils. The possibilities are only limited by our own imagination!! Thank you for the combos and instructions!!
Hi Lori I received my SJG a few days ago. All the way to Australia without a hitch. I love them so far and am enjoying the learning curve. So thank you, to both you and Andy 🙂👍⭐😁❣
I got my pencils today! They are beautiful and the way they are laid out makes so much sense, I wish I had this set when I first started coloring. I think I got one of the first 100, the pencils are backwards 😄, it's kind of cool. A little tip, I saved the cardboard sleeve and I'm going to use it to protect my table when I cut out the swatch and comp.
What a big help this tutorial will be once pencils arrive. We are hearing dec 2 according to my sister. We will show them off at our coloring classes we have here in the villages. 8 different coloring book classes. Many fine art classes only using pencils. Thank you. Happy thanksgiving.
Oh this is wonderful!! Thank you for showing us some layer colors🥰 Great to have someone that knows them inside and out inform us how they were meant to work so it's not such a guessing game🤩 we appreciate you!!
I just got one of the first hundred sets today, I am hyped. I never would have known if I hadn’t seen the previous video. I am excited to try out the colors.
I adore the peach and yellow combo. My Christmas cactus blossom called Christmas flame is that combo. color. Thanks so much for teaching us about mixing colors. I will save this valuable video. Don’t have the Gold pencils but they are on the way.
This is so cool! I can’t wait to get my set and play! I’m thinking there must be a multitude of color combinations and each color created will have its own value! Thank you Lori!
Yay! My January delivery date was moved to Wednesday!!! I’m sure they’re not the one of 100 sets - but it’s going to be a really Merry Christmas for my daughter and granddaughters. I’m hoping Santa will be surprising me - I’ve left PLENTY of hints - hopefully I’ll win a set!
This is fantastic Lori! I have always had such a hard time with oil pencil combinations. I pray after watching this lesson a couple of times, I'll finally get the hang of oil pencils! 💗
I have some really cool combos coming. I am creating the craziest things. How would you like to ability to create every single polychromos color even though very few pencils even match polychromos... good things to come.
I got a $19 starjoy pencil kit in a beautiful holder(I made a video on it) and I was really surprised at how good the pencils were! I mean... it blew my mind. TBH- I bought it for the pencil holder!
Thank you so much! Yes! I definitely learned something. Lots actually since I’m still a newbie. Haha. I will have to watch this again. Now that I have the set physically here in front of me the info is beginning to come together.
This is super useful. I have a question though. I am swatching out my Star Joy gold set....and the lay down is beautiful. I would say the lay down is icy. Smooth like gliding on ice. But I ran into the Orange combo 10, 11, and 12, and I just don't get those 3 colors together. 11 and 12 together look like baby poop and add 10 and you get baby poop after you have fed the baby sweet potatoes. What am I missing?

Wow, there's so many possibilities! 120 pencils now multiply into a million combos

Thank you Lori for the lessons Lori. I wonder if it's possible to color an enamel look.
Thanks Lori! Your color combinations are so nice. Thanks for taking the time to share them with us! I hope you and your husband are doing well. Big hugs!

I find the pencil color descriptions so helpful! I write down every word you say, my mom would wish that I were so attentive to her lessons. LOL
I so appreciate your sharing your wisdom and experience!!! Hugs to you all
Lori, thank you for the color combination demonstration. The Rosy Beige combination totally blew my mind! 💥 😊

I always learn something new watching your videos. So excited to be getting my pencils. Thank you Lori.

Lori - will you be doing some of the oil pencil blending tutorials with the Star Joy Gold after the first of the year?
It amazes me how you can see the different colors in one color. Thank you.
Another fabulous lesson! My "babies" are arriving tomorrow. I'm so excited! Thank you Lori for another valuable lesson.
That was fun .. learning more every day thanks to you. You're so generous with your knowledge. My star joy golds are scheduled to arrive today!!!

You are having so much working with these new pencils! I can hear the enthusiasm in your voice. I love to watch you!!
Great combinations!!

You have chosen such beautiful colors. I just bought this set about a week ago and I love them more and more. You are a great teacher. Love it!
I agree. My high school art teacher had her pets and I didn't learn as much as I have from Lori. Thanks for the color combinations.
This is so interesting! Thank you for showing us how to make so many pretty colors out of the beautiful Star Joy Gold colors!
Hello Lori, yay received my set today! They're perfect! I'm swatching and having so much fun! Thank you Lori and Andy!
I got my set today! I finally got to sit down n swatch them, Thank you so much for these pencils & the lessons Lori. you're truly inspiring.
also Just realized I got one of the first 100 sets! lol
Wow, that demo was sooo helpful. I never would have tried some of those combos! Thanks Lori. 😊
Thank you for the information, you are so helpful.
Thanks for the video. Great info 👍
This is real colour magic! The clay rose in particular. Thank you, this will encourage me to experiment when I get my set. 😊💕✏✏✏
Yayy I just got my pencils & they are backwards!! Can believe how excited I am to know I got one of those first sets!! 🤩💜
Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
I just got one of the first hundred sets today, I am hyped. I never would have known if I hadn’t seen the previous video. I am excited to try out the colors.
Great lesson! Always learning more! Thank you!

Yay! I just got my Star Joy Gold delivered. Andy is doing something right, Thanks❤️❤️❤️
Woohoo! My pencils just arrived at 10:45 am Houston, Texas time!
This is so cool! I can’t wait to get my set and play! I’m thinking there must be a multitude of color combinations and each color created will have its own value! Thank you Lori!
Lori, thanks for all the hard work. Can’t wait to receive my pencils. Should be here today, yippee.
Yay! My January delivery date was moved to Wednesday!!! I’m sure they’re not the one of 100 sets - but it’s going to be a really Merry Christmas for my daughter and granddaughters. I’m hoping Santa will be surprising me - I’ve left PLENTY of hints - hopefully I’ll win a set!
Thank you! I appreciate that a beginner like me can understand and follow your videos.
This is fantastic Lori! I have always had such a hard time with oil pencil combinations. I pray after watching this lesson a couple of times, I'll finally get the hang of oil pencils! 💗
Thank you, Lori! Love how you explain and make it simple.
Wonderful lession...can't wait to receive my new Golds!
Thanks for another really good video on art skill building. Blending is a challenge for me. These are superior colors mixes.
Wow, got this nailed down. Can’t wait to play and see how it goes. You make it look easy my friend, and I am sure it is not.
Thank you for sharing this. I would've never known but reversing the colors laid order you'd get entirely different colors!
Very helpful to understand how to get the most out of the SJ Golds and other sets. Thank you!
They are like butter , love them
I received my Star-Joy pencils today, they are beautiful. I am going to start my swat.
Very helpful demonstration of layering options! Thank you
Debbie Deems...
Can't wait Monday they come!!!
Love these blends Lori !! Can’t wait to try them. My pencils should be here Tuesday! Thank you for this video 🤗 😊 !!
Barbara ❤️
These are on my Christmas list and cant wait to get them!! Thanks for all the lessons!
Counting down the hours and minutes til my pencils arrive today! It’s raining buckets so I want to make sure they don’t get wet.
Got my pencils Saturday. Can’t wait to try these out !
Oh, this is super helpful. Blending versus layering! ❤ Gotcha. 😊
That was fabulous, Lori, thanks for sharing. As always a great learning lesson.
Pencils arrived today, swatching my little heart out, and later will begin Lori's color combos.
I have some really cool combos coming. I am creating the craziest things. How would you like to ability to create every single polychromos color even though very few pencils even match polychromos... good things to come.
Did she say she was making and selling sheets for color combo in one if the last videos. I can't wait.
Thank you Lori for all that you do!
Yay! This is great
Just a word of thanks and great job! You have worked so hard!
Mine are all swatched and happy in their new case 😃. Thanks, Lori!
Careful about pulling them out. Don't pull from the tip and have the back rub up against the strap holding it.
I am loving my golds. You did an excellent job picking colors. My favorite is Whale Blue.
Wow...liked all the combinations. Great teaching video.
Great video! Thank you, Lori, for all your hard work!
Mine are coming Friday, after several delivery up dates from mid January.
I got a $19 starjoy pencil kit in a beautiful holder(I made a video on it) and I was really surprised at how good the pencils were! I mean... it blew my mind. TBH- I bought it for the pencil holder!
That is really interesting and helpful. Thank you for those combinations.
Yes I bought them to learn alligest coloring
Thank you!! Very informative. I’m going to start playing with my Star Joy Gold pencils right after I check out Skillshare.
Another great tutorial, thank you, hope one day to try these lovely pencils
This answered a lot of my questions. Thank you!
Thank you for your giveaways very much appreciated.
I learned so much in this video. Thanx Lori.
Thank you for another helpful tutorial!
Will the coloured pencils be available in the uk
Thanks Lori
Thank you so much! Yes! I definitely learned something. Lots actually since I’m still a newbie. Haha. I will have to watch this again. Now that I have the set physically here in front of me the info is beginning to come together.
Thank you for the tutorial. It is much appreciated.
These blends are amazing.
Beautiful blends!
Thank you for the color blends
It will be my first 120 set when I get a chance to buy it.
Aww i wish I had the sets great reviews
Impatient to have this set. Still a no show at Amazon Canada.
you have to buy it USA and they ship to Canada
Thank you Lori this. Was really informative and beautiful color combinations love all the hard work you put in to all this. Hugs.
Wow very Interesting ❤ thank you 😊
What number would be red peach , please and ty
What a great video! I really enjoyed watching the new color combos! Also keeping Prismacolor's in mind!
This is super useful. I have a question though. I am swatching out my Star Joy gold set....and the lay down is beautiful. I would say the lay down is icy. Smooth like gliding on ice. But I ran into the Orange combo 10, 11, and 12, and I just don't get those 3 colors together. 11 and 12 together look like baby poop and add 10 and you get baby poop after you have fed the baby sweet potatoes. What am I missing?
This is awesome!!
Half the fun is creating different colors!
