Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils

#oilwaxcolor #drawing #art #painting

A while ago I released my Top 5 Budget Colored Pencils, I am always being asked what my favourite colored pencils are and I have always been reluctant to say what they are because I don't want other artists, especially young or new artist to be influenced by what my favourite pencils are. Here we take a look at my Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils.

However by creating these list I don't really say what my all time favourite colored pencil is and only according to the list. In this video we go down the rabbit hole and I show you what my top 5 artist grade colored pencils are. In the video I explain my interpretation of the difference between artist grade and artist quality colored pencils.

I would like to stress that this is not a definitive list, I am not saying these are the best colored pencils in the world, I am not saying that you should consider the list when buying your colored pencils, nor am I suggesting you have to live your artistic life around this list. The pencils in this top 5 list are only my favourite after 7 years of testing, researching, demonstrating and reviewing colored pencils, of which there have been many. I would love however to hear what your top 5 artist grade colored pencils would be and I think it would be cool to see how similar or different the lists are and we can embrace those differences. You might hear about a pencil you had never considered and try it and it end up in your best 5.

For every pencil I have mentioned in this list, I have provided links back to my original review of them just incase you would like to know more in-depth detail about the pencils. I have also completed a written Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils which I think will aid in helping people understand a few things I discuss in the video regarding lightfast grading.
