Are Pasteltint pencils a chalk pastel or are they similar to your original coloured pencils, using similar cores?

No, they are not a chalk pastel. The leads in these pencils are wax-based like those in our Premium Coloured Pencil Sets.

Are these colours included in the regular 72 and 120 sets, or are they completely new sets of 48 colours?

The colours in the Pasteltint set are entirely new, and are not duplicated in our regular 72 or 120 coloured pencil sets.

Can you use blending spirits with these pencils?

Yes - and you can also use baby oil, Zest-it and other easy-to-find blending agents.

Are Pasteltint pencils permanent? Can I use them on a blackboard for example?

These pencils do not have chalk cores, they are wax-based. They would not be appropriate for a blackboard/chalkboard. However the beautiful pastel colours will work brilliantly on black cover board or black paper.

Where are these pasteltint pencils produced?

All our products are developed in the UK and manufactured in our factories in China, but all inventory for orders is stocked in various ��غ�� warehouses for ease of distribution.

I'm a professional pet portrait artist so I usually buy expensive artist pencils, but I saw the beautiful colours in this set and couldn't resist! I'm so glad I purchased them, they are creamy to use and blend like a dream the variety of beautiful colours are just stunning. They come packaged in a strong sturdy zipper case. The 3 different sketchpad are great quality too, along with the tutorial and other information on the pencils. You even get a little swatch that you can try all the colours out on. As you can see I cannot rave about them enough!!! 5 stars easy!! Buy them you will not target it!

Beautiful soft colours to set the right tone for anything you colour. I love how I can create soft backgrounds and in general create coloured pictures with the right touch of pastel to it. It blends well with my Premier PrismaColour pencils as well as the Castle Art Gold series.
Only thing that it shorts is a handle on the pencil case. Pencil case very sturdy and durable but could have done with a handle on the spine of the pencil case.

An excellent set of pencils to use as an addition to a set with more mainstream colours, but not a set that would be the best as a primary set. Lovely pastel shades that can be used to make a section of your pieces stand out and for lovely floral compositions, delicate sky tones and portraits. Good also for smooth gradations and transitions. Found one or two of the pencils slightly scratchy, but very minor complaint really. Very good value for the money.

Fabulous set of pastel colours
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2022

There is no mistake that Castle Art products are high class and budget friendly. These particular pencils have all the star quality of their other products. Beautiful pastel shades with plenty of pigment to lay down. They blend like butter. I have many of their pencils, pens, paints etc and have never been disappointed. The quality is superb and I have to say their customer service matches their products. I recently had a slight issue with a case to hold the pencils, it was a gift for my friend so I wanted it right. Some of the text was missing on the front of the case. I contacted customer services and it was immediately rectified. You can’t get better than that.
Thank you Castle Arts for all you do for your customers

Lovely set of pastel wax colored pencils
Reviewed in the United States on 1 October 2023
Verified Purchase
I had already purchased a cheaper set of pastel/macaron pencils, which came in a zipper case. I wasn't totally pleased with those pencils, and hesitate to buy any further of the Chinese off-brand pencils because the same manufacturer makes macaron pencils under a dozen different brand names lol! All dupes for a very expensive Japanese brand (Holbein). Thankfully, Castle Arts made a pastel set in a zipper case, so I bought that almost a year ago. Yes, the Castle Arts pencils have adopted the same aesthetic look as the aforementioned other brands of macaron pencils. But I don't feel like they're trying to confuse anyone with a dupe product, as these pencils come with all the wonderful extras that I love from Castle Arts, and they're clearly branded as Castle's Pasteltint...not "macaron".
So this set of pencils seem to be the standard wax pencils like their soft cored set of regular colored pencils. I don't think these are "oil/ oily pencils" like their Gold Range (and like the generic brand I already owned). So these blend well, and seem to give me an extended range of colors for regular set of Castle Arts pencils that I use more often than the Golds.
I love the zipper case option, and highly recommend getting that if you ever think you might want to travel with the pencil set...even if you don't travel, I personally have found the zipper case to be more convenient around the house than pencils in a box or tin...and cases can be pretty expensive if you ever decide to upgrade to a case later on.
I also love the instruction book that comes with these pencils! This is the 5th different set of Castle Arts pencils I have purchased, and will probably buy some of their other products in the future. I don't have a huge budget for crafts supplies, and I typically look for the best value for my money being on a fixed income. Castle Arts offer the perfect pencils for my needs. Already in a case, excellent instructions that have helped teach me new techniques, and a price I can afford for good quality products! Yes, there are cheaper pencils...even decent ones...but I haven't personally found any cheaper brands that perform better than these, and they definitely don't come with all the bonus content. Yes, there are much better quality pencils than these...but they are prohibitively expensive for me. I'm a hobbyist and usually use pencils for coloring books, so I can't really justify buying professional quality, expensive pencils.
I have even traveled with these pencils, especially to certain sporting events where I will be stuck there for an hour+ before the game...I tuck a mini coloring book in the case and an eraser pencil and pencil sharpener...there's enough room in the case to fit all of this, and the case makes a surface to color on. The case is discrete and small enough that I don't feel awkward carrying it in public like I would feel with my preferred set of 120 pencils. Sure, it's limiting in that scenario to just have pastels...but also liberating! You really can color almost anything with only pastels and get an amazing effect! It's a great exercise in breaking out of habit and out of a creative rut with your coloring (or other art styles). I also love that Castle Arts includes a card stock sheet with all the pencil names for you to swatch/test the colors. It also fits in the case and is yet another reason why this became my favorite brand of pencils! I can see at a glance exactly what any pencil looks like on paper, so I know which one to select without any guessing and messing.
Hope this helps. Bottom line, I definitely recommend this set if you're weighing the options between this one and one of the generic "macaron oily pencils." I would only suggest getting the generic brand pencils if you're super limited with your budget because while they're decent quality pencils, they do have frequent noticable areas where the color isn't blended correctly, unlike the Castle Arts pencils, in which it's rare to find those scratchy or inconsistent patches. Or...if you happen to just prefer the coverage and effect of oil pencils better than wax pencils...if you don't like the softer and more muted style of colored pencils then you might would want oil pencils instead.

50 crayons mines grasses et un peu epaisses mais se taillent très bien. Permet de faire de jolies nuances entre les couleurs, nuancier assez complet pour des crayons pastels, si vous voulez faire des couleurs peaux il vaut mieux s'orienter sur des crayons spécifiques type faber castell. Mais ceux là sont parfaits pour en termes de couleurs pastels, pointes assez précises pour les détails, crémeuses donc pas la peine d'appuyer dessus fortement. Castle art est une bonne marque de moyenne gamme et ça me suffit pour des couleurs pastels. Bon rapport qualité prix. Livré dans une trousse, ça c'est un plus et trois petits carnets avec des feuilles noires, blanches et bristols ça permet de faire des essais. Ne pas oublier de faire le nuancier fourni avec c'est plus simple pour le choix des couleurs par la suite. Livraison rapide et soigné. Je recommande vivement.

Bellissime tinte pastello

Belle matite tinte pastello, sono morbidissime senza essere troppo cremose e si fondono tra loro che è una bellezza ,ottime su tutte le grammature della carta.
L'astuccio appena arrivato ,in anticipo sui tempi, aveva un cattivo odore chimico ma pochissimi giorni esposto all'aperto è sparito tutto. Di buona qualità i tre blocchi da disegno e bella idea inserire un libretto tutorial sul disegno ,ottima per i principianti.
