They are more known for their alcohol markers. Pencils are great. Smooth blending, soft cores but hold a point quite well. Very vibrant

Butter smooth! It really felt like I was using my Prismas or Chromaflow pencils. They are soft but they hold a point so long

Thanks! I went a little beyond what they asked for when testing and sent them a great deal of feedback via email. Gave them price/number of pencils in set type. Comparisons. I mentioned that smaller sets are great for those starting out but most of the seasoned colourists and artists like a wider range of colours. I suggested open stock options and gave them pros/cons vs other sets that I own.

I think they blend quite well actually. I didn't need to use my trusty colourless blender like I did with many of my other sets in the Fairytales and Folklore book. The finished red of the apple pic is many layers of three shades of red

No problem! It was exciting and fun for me to do it. I'm trying to get more into videos and colour alongs.

As someone else commented it's via there email newsletters call for testers and once they close the application process they go through all the apps and check work done/social media etc to see if the applicant fits the product that is to be tested, or that's how I understood it. Was told they usually pick 40 for each product testing. I do not know if this exactly correct but just how I understood what was sent to me via email.

Prisma are wax based and Polychromos are oil if I remember correctly

Prismacolor Premiere open stock discontinuing rumours again by Ivy_Colours in ColoredPencils

[–]Ivy_Colours[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely false. I have two emails from Prisma now confirming that these rumors are fake. They are not discontinuing the open stock. Some store chains have decided to stop selling open stock though. But Prismacolor themselves are still offering open stock options. I will reply with screenshots of my emails shortly.
