Creamy, Vibrant Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils

"I have had Faber-Castell’s Polychromos color pencils on my wishlist for a while. I normally use liquid art mediums like watercolors, gouache, inks and acrylics, and the way I use those mediums always has a very colorful outcome. So if I am going to use color pencils, I want them to be smooth and creamy, and the Polychromos don’t disappoint! The texture is nicely creamy and covers the paper easily, and the lead breaks less than other brands I’ve tested. The colors are vibrant! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to try color pencils. I swatched them to share with everyone who sees this how vibrant the colors are. I am already planning what art piece I will be creating with these! Can’t wait! Meanwhile, enjoy the swatches!"
