I waited for quite a while to get this set of pencils because they were out of stock. Now that I have them, it was definitely worth the wait. I love these pencils, the quality, and the choice of colors. Will definitely order again.

These pencils turned my love of my Castle Arts set from a 10 to a 100! I already owned a beautiful set of oil based pastel shade pencils so I put off buying this for a few weeks but I just had to have them. I am SO GLAD that I did end up buying them. I NEEDED a beautiful, creamy, wax based pastel tinted set.
The shades are just beautiful. The color range completes the 120 set of soft touch pencils. As someone who almost exclusively does portraits, I have no idea how I functioned before this set. It has so many beautiful colors for skin tones and undertones and highlights. The picture I included was made completely with Castle Arts soft touch 120 set and this pasteltints set. Only the background is ink. It is done on flat, smooth and very thin low quality coloring book paper in the line art version. I have other pages printed out onto Bristol cardstock with a vellum finish and these work even more beautifully on that surface. Although these are so creamy I'm sure they'd blend on glass honestly.
These feel even more high quality than their other sets like the Soft Touch and the Gold. I really didn't care for the Gold set. But this one and the 120 soft touch together have taken my coloring hobby to new levels. I no longer have to use colors or pencils sparingly as it doesn't cost $200+ to buy them. My results just as or more beautiful.
I do have and love some very expensive and high quality pencil sets. But when I am not doing my own artwork and only coloring in coloring books, I don't care to use up all my expensive sets as these work wonderfully. The information packets that are included in their sets has some amazing information for new pencil artists. This and the 12p soft touch set are MEANT to be used in conjunction and I absolutely feel that I get the best out if the both of them when I use them together. This expands the color range but so much and in such gorgeous colors. They lay down smooth and creamy and full of vivid color. I'm so happy with this set and feel like it was worth every cent.
I prefer to buy from the Castle Arts website as they're cheaper with codes. I recieved them promptly and in perfect condition. If I could go back I would have purchased the zippered case set which I had meant to do in the first place. Not a big deal as I can now keep them in a separately purchased case with the 120 set.
Theyre beautiful and you won't regret them, especially if you have and use and love the soft touch pencils.

I am an artist who loves to try new products. I find the Castle Arts pastel tint pencils very nice to work with. I swatched the pencils and was very impressed with the results. I am egger to do an artwork with them

Marcie M.
The most amazing and beautiful color pencils. Such a wonderful palette. Thank you for making a quality product!

Overall, the pencils work well and blend nicely. The work shown was done using the pasteltint set and other Castle Arts pencils. The only concern I have is that a few pencils are showing crack lines on the barrel at the point end and as such need a lighter touch when using or they break. It has been on maybe a dozen so far out of the combined pasteltint, metallic, seascape and botanical sets. Overall these seem to be good pencils with a reasonable price point. I do like the colors of the pasteltint set and look forward to using them more. The metallic set is also looking interesting.

I saw the Castle Arts colored pencils in the supplies list when I joined Coloring Book Cafe. I ended up buying the 120 count and am planning on buying a second set because I love them so much! I then discovered the Pasteltints colored pencils on the Castle Arts website. I got my first set and tested them out. I immediately ordered a second set so I will have backups!
I have a lot of other brands that I’ve used over the years, and to be quite honest, these pencils are just perfect. The core is firm enough to stand up to burnishing without crumbling, but soft enough to put down plenty of vivid color without much pressure at all, and they blend beautifully. The best part is that they’re not hard and scratchy! I even love these more than my big set of Prismacolor Premier pencils.
Thank you for such amazing products, Castle Arts. I will be making more purchases in the near future.
Cindy B.
Lovely colors. The pencils feel good in the hand and they color well on paper and other surfaces too!
Tahlie M.
Love the colors and quality of the pencil sets!
Lynelle W.
These are exactly what I was looking for! There are many colors in this set that are hard to find in regular colored pencil sets. Great for flowers, sunrises/sunsets, seascapes - anywhere you would like a soft color palette!
Marie D.
Using these makes coloring very enjoyable.
Tracy D.
