Review: Lovely pencils - Lovely pencils, great quality. Smooth, cover well and great. for shading.
Review: beautiful brilliant colours and pencil set, for beginners or professionals artists alike. - i love these pencils. can't say anything more than that really lol. i also own the 120 pencil, tinned versions of the premium and watercolour sets from castle, but of the three tins, these are definately my favourite. i am no artist, i only use them for colouring books (yes i know, a waste of good pencils lol) i just understand shading and highlights and these pencils (as well as the other two sets i mentioned) are some of the best pencils i have ever used. this gold set is oil based they are harder than a wax based pencil but that hardness does not mean they are scratchy and crumbly at all. they are a pleasure to hold and flow beautifully, and seem to prefer non shiny paper, no doubt due to the roughness allowing for the colour to be rubbed off the lead. also, when in bright light conditions unlike wax pencils, they do not shine and have a matt finish. i havent tried liquid blending with these, for example ; zest it, white spirits, naptha (zippo fuel) i start with the light colour and work over with darker shades/white pencil where needed. but even with my less than professional style and finish, they still lay down and blend well enough for me. as an expensive set, i wouldnt recommend them for a young child, although my 15yr old step-daughter makes excellent use of her three tins, just using a dry paper blending stick. also to note... some comments and questions mention that all three tins have the same colours in, but this is not the case at all. all three tins do have some identical shades / names / numbers, but there are many different colours in each tin. where the name/pencil numbers are the same as one inside either of the other two tins, the actual colour of that pencil can and most likely will be a different colour to the other(s) as shown in my picture with pencil number 112 compared from all three tins. i highly recommend choosing the gold set over premium for ease of use and blendability. but, as a whole picture (pardon my pun lol) i actually recommend owning all three 120 pencil sets purely for the versatility of over 300 shades of very good pencils.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these Gold pencils be used over or under black micron ink pens and are they transparent for greyscale colouring?**
A: They are fairly translucent for coloured 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 colour pencils be used on wood and other hard surfaces?**
A: Gold coloured 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 colourless blender or a stump on a test patch, you can see the colour 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 watercolour 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 colours 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality for what you are paying. So glad I bought these.
*by M***B on 9 December 2025*

Absolutely fabulous colours, as described, creamy and very smooth and blendable. Do be careful though, keep the cardboard box the pencils arrive in, the tin is protected by the cardboard and this will avoid accidental breakage. One of the points arrived broken, so it needed to be sharpened immediately. A couple of others the tips slightly broken, but still sharp ,perfectly usable in a fine line before needing sharpening again. Excellent value for money and very good quality for the money too. Just take care of them.
