Since 1761, Faber-Castell has proudly crafted premium artist-quality materials trusted by creatives around the world for innovation, craftsmanship, and lasting quality Review: Beautiful bright rich colors - I initially ordered the Gelatos because they appeared to be versatile in their uses, including wet and dry use, smudgable with a finger and produce bright color. They can be used with stamps, used to color over images in art journals, to create beautiful backgrounds for cards or journal pages, add touches of color to mixed media paintings and it's possible to cut a bit of the product off the tip, put in a small spray bottle with water and create color sprays. The set of 28 is a bit pricey, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting in my own art journals and mixed media pieces that I feel they are worth the price for me. Faber-Castell also has many smaller kits with new colors so that you can keep adding to your collection. I think any crafter or artist would find good use for these colorful pigment tubes. Their consistency is similar to lipstick or chapstick, they glide on substrates nicely, and they can be layered with other products (especially the Faber Castell big brush markers). The brightness of the color was a real draw for me. They don't feel particularly greasy once on the page, but I do spray workable fixative over them to insure the color stays put when I start layering other media.

Because they activate with water, you want to swipe your brush or roller quickly over them so they won't spread to areas you don't want color. You could also use a spray fixative or spray--but again, you have to be careful not to get them too wet so spray lightly. If you don't do one or the other, and you try to use ink pens of any type on them, you will ruin your ink pens. Hope this helps. **Q: A) how do you use these in card making? B) how do you use these "on" rubber stamps?** A: A - You can use them to create backgrounds designs of color on card stock, you can rub them thru stencils, you can color images with them like watercolor... B- you can rub them directly on a stamp and them mist slightly with a water bottle and then stamp. It creates a water color looking image of the stamp. This technique works better with bold, thick line stamps that aren't very detailed such as foam stamps or closed images of rubber stamps. If you check out Youtube with tags for Gelato and card making, you'll see some good tutorials. That way you can decide if they're really the media tool you're looking for. I use mine in card marking and art journaling for the most part. **Q: Can anyone please name the specific colors in this set? Are any metalic or pearlesant? Thanks** A: The set Z-A has listed contains 22 vibrant colors & 6 metallic's, a water brush, 4 blending tools and a technique book. **Q: how might these work with acrylics in mixed media pieces?** A: You can't mix them with acrylic but you can use them over dry acrylic paint. Think of it as using lipstick on your art, that's their consistency. Very rich colors that always seem to be a bit oily(?) hard to describe. They 'wet' into a nice watercolorish media. Once thinned with water they do dry down more normally. Interesting supply. I like them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful bright rich colors *by C***S on June 20, 2016* I initially ordered the Gelatos because they appeared to be versatile in their uses, including wet and dry use, smudgable with a finger and produce bright color.

I recently started venturing into other watercolor mediums (pencils, crayons) for fun - I'm not an artist by any means - and bought a set of 12 that were not marketed as "gelatos" (aka: cheaper) and liked them. So I found this set at a killer price and splurged...I am so glad I did! The variety of colors is wonderful and they're beyond your standard color spectrum. I do find that using a gesso on whatever surface I'm working with makes blending much easier, so for the important stuff, I add that step. I will say that, compared to the cheaper ones (not called "gelatos"), they do seem just slightly different, and I can't really say how - mainly in the ease of blending and perhaps a slightly smoother application. They look just the same, and are packaged just the same, so they very well might be the exact same product, but they act differently for me on the exact same surfaces. I only use my fingers or a brush for blending, but I like the little tools that come with this, and it's opened me up to a few new ones I wouldn't have thought about. The box is gorgeous and something you don't mind having out if that's your organizational system. Clean up from fingertips is a breeze with water. ## Frequently Bought Together - Faber-Castell Gelatos Gift Set: 28 Watercolor Gel Crayons and Art Supplies for Painting, Drawing & Journaling, Versatile Art Pigment Crayons, Gel Sticks for Mixed Media - Faber-Castell Gelatos Colors Set, Iridescents - Water Soluble Pigment Crayons - 15 Iridescent Colors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1957750-gelatos-gift-set-28-watercolor-gel-crayons-and-art-supplies](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1957750-gelatos-gift-set-28-watercolor-gel-crayons-and-art-supplies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
