As always I have created some artwork with the Koh-I-Noor Progresso Aquarell to help demonstrate and display the strength of the pigments. As much as I love watercolors and watercolor products, I am not as comfortable with them as I am with my colored pencils and markers.
As I mentioned, the Koh-I-Noor Polycolor 144 set is split into two tins, below you can see an image of the first tin 144/1 as is labeled on the front cover and blow that image is clear images of both trays. The first tin is made up primarily of the yellows, portrait colors, pinks, reds, purples and blues. All the way through the images I have provided you will see just how amazing the total palette is for the entire 144 set of Koh-I-Noor Polycolor.
This year however I have done it a little bit different, I have completed two lists, a realistic affordable list and a Luxury Art Christmas list. Lets face it, not everyone is as penniless as me and so as Christmas is a time for extravagance and one off indulgences, I thought that a luxury Christmas list was a good idea; so here goes.
It’s that time of year and trying to find the perfect gift for the loved one, friend or family member can be challenging at the best of times, never mind if they are artists. So, in true Art Gear Guide Style, always trying to help out, I have compiled a list of affordable, yet highly desirable girts for the artist in your life. Check out this article for some cracking ideas to help make your Christmas or Holidays be a memorable one.
The Koh-I-Noor Extra Soft Pastel are cylinders of buttery gems, when you remove the sleeve from the box and remove the box lid, you are greeted with a spectrum of brilliant color gently nestled in between black foam slots to protect their delicate composition.
I think Koh-I-Noor are quite an over looked pencil and in my opinion, I think they are an excellent pencil. For young artists just starting out in colored pencils and perhaps on a budget but still wanting to get professional results, Koh-I-Noor are one of my first recommendations to people.
Colored pencil artists, pastel artist and perhaps many other types of artists, are always on the lookout for the best, most opaque, white colored pencil, pastel pencil or whatever medium you are using. It seems, that everyone is seeking for the Holly-Grail of white opaque application, especially for colored pencil artists given the method of layering etc
The Koh-I-Noor Woodless colored pencil is a generous 7.3mm diameter of pure pigment, no wood barrel eating into precious space for additional pigment. I have received many emails and messages asking for these wonderful pencils to be reviewed, however, before actually getting them in my hand, I must admit, i thought they would have a waxy residue to the touch, but this is absolutely not the case.
Quite recently I had been asked by one of the amazing people who visit my channel, if I would review both the Lyra Rembrant Polycolor and the Koh-I-Noor Ploycolor colored pencils. Of course being asked to review anything by people who take the time out of their busy day to visit your channel, makes that review all the more important and so I purchased both requested sets.
