STABILO CarbOthello Pastel Pencil Set - Pack of 60 (Multicolour)

perfectly packed and authentic product. just the price a bit high, but thats expected as its imported. the product is excellent, pastel pencils.

While these pencils are super expensive, it was needed for important artwork. The packaging was good. No pencil was broken or bad. Brand is pretty good. Individual pencils are super expensive so as a set it turned out to be priced better.

Very color rich and blend able

Excellent soft pastel pencil.

The Best!!!

brillant colours

The pencils as such are beautiful and very well pigmented. It’s no surprise that this brand is one of the best for soft pastel pencils but here’s what disappointed me. I pay a hefty price of around 6k for “soft” pastel pencils. The least I can expect is protective packaging. Unfortunately all I received was a cardboard covering with the metal box in a plastic sleeve. The pictures above show exactly how I had received the product. With multiple dents over the metal box (due to which I can’t close it properly) and pencils scattered with their tips chipped off. I’m not returning the product because I’m ok with the situation and I can’t wait again to get a replacement either.

Stabilo pencils are not there also some cheap pencils are sent and no. Of pencils are also less. Totally, they are of no use.

J’adore le rendu de ces crayons

I bought this set as a treat for myself, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The pencils feel high quality right out of the tin - smooth to hold, with rich, vibrant pigments that layer beautifully on paper. They’re soft enough to blend easily (dry or with a damp brush) but not so crumbly that they break constantly like some pastels I’ve tried. The included sharpener works perfectly without wasting too much of the pencil, and the kneaded eraser and blending stump are such thoughtful extras. Even the tin feels sturdy and well organized, making it a pleasure to open up and choose colours. As someone who mainly works in watercolor, I didn’t expect to enjoy pastel pencils this much, but these have me completely hooked. I’ve already used them for adding fine details and soft backgrounds, and they play nicely with other mediums too. I would absolutely recommend this set to any artist, beginner or experienced.

These are my first (and go-to) pastel pencils. I find them easily blendable, not too soft, and the variety of colors suitable for all of my pet & wildlife portraits. I'm a beginner, but I'm still learning, and I will highly recommend getting a Prismacolor handheld (2-slot) pencil sharpener, and possibly a sharpening block..because I learned that if you try these with an electric sharpener, they will eat half the pencil and turn it to dust, as well as me up the sharpener. Filing it with a craft knife didn't work for me either. You don't need a really really sharp point anyway, because with too much pressure they'll break every time. No matter what I do, I so still have maybe two colors out of the entire set that break frequently, but that is most likely due to the pigment used. In any case, drawing with these pencils still gives me nice, fine details I want. They work best on Pastelmat and velour paper, but I've also used them on Bristol and Fabriano Titziano paper which worked out fine. Any paper smoother than those will smear and not blend as well. Highly recommend these pastel pencils!

Exelentes con un borrador logras borrar me pareció buen coloreado facil de disfuminar

Uso solitamente i pennelli per dipingere, raramente invece uso le matite, e queste CarbOthello ARTY+ mi hanno davvero conquistato. La qualità si percepisce subito: i colori sono intensi, ben pigmentati e facili da sfumare, quasi come lavorare con dei pastelli morbidi, ma con la precisione della matita. Le trovo perfette sia per dettagli che per campiture più ampie, e si prestano molto bene anche a tecniche miste (carta leggermente ruvida, sfumino o addirittura un leggero intervento con pennello umido). La varietà cromatica della confezione è ottima: i 48 colori coprono una gamma completa, equilibrata tra toni caldi, freddi e neutri, permettendo di lavorare senza sentire la mancanza di sfumature intermedie. Anche la scatola in metallo è pratica e resistente, ideale per tenere tutto in ordine. Un prodotto di alta qualità, adatto sia a chi disegna abitualmente sia a chi, come me, ama soprattutto la pittura ma vuole uno strumento affidabile e versatile per integrare o preparare i propri lavori. Consigliatissime.
