Holbein pastel pencils by craftymeg

Holbein pastel pencils

This picture won’t mean anything to most people but for colour pencil addicts this photo will be an ahh or an oooh moment. I kid you not!!
These are my first few Holbein pencils, I managed to get a few singles to try, I’ve loved the colours for years but they are so expensive and a hassle to get a hold off being imported from Japan.
They are unmatched pastel colours to any other pencil I own and a wonderful creamy lay down.
The colour of the lead matches exactly to the barrel, I’m in love, I’ve never had colours as nice as this.
I found an art supplier that is importing the sets as well as the open stock, I’ve pre-ordered and now am waiting for the box of 50 pastel colours, can’t wait, they arrive end of March. I will post a photo when they land for anyone interested.
Best on black

What a gift to yourself. An artist needs the best tools and materials he/she can afford, although it's not what makes for good art, it just helps.

Wonderful photo. It really stands out on black. I like how you caught the sheen of the gold lettering on the pencils. Enjoy your new pencils! Fav
