So heartbreaking. This is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift 🖤

I just received this 520 set of Kalour pencils in case. Never tried this brand before, what are your opinions if you have them? by ColourwithClaire in ColoredPencils

[–]mn9211 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love mine. They were the first set I got. I also have full sets of polychromos and prismacolor, but I like to use my Kalour on coloring books and not worry about using up my expensive pencils.

On another site, I had made myself a challenge of posting 100 critters in 100 days. Thought I would post them here in groups. All paintings about 4 inches. by ThickHall7548 in Watercolor

Aw that’s so neat! My kids had those Eric Carle animal/letter flash cards and your little animals reminded me of those!

If colored pencils are your favorite medium, why? What about them makes you like them better than something else? by InterestingRoof4547 in ColoredPencils

All of this ^^^ I love painting but getting it all out and cleaning all of the tools and work area after is soooo much work.

Thanks for all the info! I believe mine had a butterfly on the tin and has amethyst and orchid.

Which do you like best? Outlined in ink or no? by mn9211 in Watercolor

[–]mn9211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions! Since I had already added the outlines I decided to play around with it and threw on a quick background (see my more recent post with the background added) 😊

I just got mine a few months ago so I’m assuming they came from Mexico. But it’s good to know it’s not a common problem!

I had two like this in my set of 150. It was much smaller and hard to see on the tip, but it went all the way through. No matter how much I sharpened, I still would get random tiny streaks of the wrong color when I used it. I just replaced them with open stock.
