i've been finding a lot of reviewers who say they've heard this brand of colored pencils is good, but most have not personally tried them.
So recently i bought a 12 count package of Dick Blick landscape assortment.
i've used them a few times, including on the Mucha coloring page, and a new rendition of Sharon Carlson's monarchs.
Here is my "bullet point" review of them:
- Appearance beautiful
- Feel every bit as good as my favorite Faber Castell Polychromos
- Takes a point well, but doesn't keep it
- So far, no trouble with breakage
- The Landscape selection of colors is a very pleasing and useful one for me.
- and yes, the price is less than similar art brand pencils.
Overall, though, it's a very nice set of colors.
Available at Dick Blick only, imagine that https://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-studio-artists-colored-pencils/
Best Colored Pencils.com and The Art Gear Guide are fantastic in their reviews https://www.bestcoloredpencils.com/blick-studio-colored-pencils-review/

And the coloring book was purchased from Barnes and Noble, but here's the publisher.
