Review: Budget friendly pencils that fall between prismas and polychromos- - When I first started coloring, I bought the standard set of Castle Arts pencils (not the Gold Standard pencils), but found them difficult to work with- I thought they were scratchy, hard to blend, and difficult to lay down color. I read some reviews, and tried out some other pencils. Fast forward two years, and I've amassed quite a collection of pencils that I love. Recently, I'd heard good things about the Gold Standard pencils, and decided to give the Castle Arts another try. I've been very pleasantly surprised! The color range is fantastic, and they are a nice "in between" pencil. The color lays down easily, and they have a slightly creamy texture that blends well (similar to a prismacolor) but they keep a sharper point and don't crumble/break easily or give off a lot of dust (more like a poly), which makes them great for smaller detail work. They also mix well with the Castle Arts pastel pencils (which I also highly recommend) and that allows for a wider range of light colors/highlights. The only downside is that they don't erase as well as some others-but that seems a small tradeoff for a nice basic pencil that I can (and do) use often. I can recommend these are a good set for beginners, as well as a great addition for someone more advanced.
Review: Quality beautiful colors, harder than wax!! Get THIS set! Worth every penny! - Bought these as replacement from wax based from same brand, and wanted to upgrade and just needed new pencils. Tried Pr********* and they were way too soft and used up FAST. These are a DREAM come true!! Beautiful colors, easy blending, and don’t sharpen away to nothing as they’re used. ( harder than wax pencils even though they are oil based). No, REALLY!! Would HIGHLY recommend as a great first set, and you won’t ever need anything else!! No individual pencil replacements, . Quality is wonderful!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these Gold pencils be used over or under black micron ink pens and are they transparent for grayscale coloring?**
A: They are fairly translucent for colored pencils (this makes them wonderful for layering), so they can be used over ink lines. They are also well suited for greyscaling.

**Q: Can Gold Range color pencils be used on wood and other hard surfaces?**
A: Gold colored pencils adhere to many hard surfaces such as wood, stone, leather and metal. The pencils are permanent, but we recommend you seal your drawing with a coat or two of varnish.

**Q: Can you achieve natural dry blending with Castle Gold as you would with a softer wax based pencil?**
A: Very easy to blend because of the smooth oil base; if you use a colorless blender or a stump on a test patch, you can see the color move onto the paper from the edges of the patch.

**Q: What is the optimal surface on which to use these — do you recommend a particular type of paper?**
A: Most papers will do but smooth cartridge paper is our favourite. Try working on watercolor paper too — the surface has a pleasing little texture for the pencil to ‘bite’ into.

**Q: How long does a single pencil typically last?**
A: Black and white typically last the longest, other colors last for three months at least, more if used lightly. Of course it all depends on how fervently you apply these pencils to your everyday art!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hold a tip well and good amount of colors
*by P***B on December 8, 2025*

My wife has a lot of the other Castle Arts sets and really wanted this one because they stay sharp longer since they aren't as soft which helps when adding a lot of detail. Castle is a good quality brand while staying affordable compared to Prismacolor. My wife was really excited about the color selection as well since she has the big set of the other Castle pencils and the colors aren't identical.
