Our take on the Holbein Artists' Colored Pencil Set of 150

Holbein Artists' Colored Pencils are a professional-grade oil-based pencil line known for smooth laydown, strong blending and clean overpainting. This set of 150 covers a wide color range, including Holbein's soft, muted Japanese palette alongside brighter hues. They suit illustrators, fine artists and serious hobbyists who layer heavily and want pencils that hold up to burnishing. Against Prismacolor Premier they are firmer and less waxy; against Faber-Castell Polychromos they are softer and blend more readily. Owners rate them very highly for consistency and color quality.

Questions and answers

Are Holbein colored pencils oil-based or wax-based?
They are oil-based, which gives a smooth laydown and reduces the waxy bloom common in wax pencils.
How do they compare with Prismacolor Premier?
Holbein cores are firmer and less waxy, so they hold a point better but build coverage more slowly. Prismacolor is softer and smudges more easily.
How do they compare with Faber-Castell Polychromos?
Both are oil-based and firm. Holbein is slightly softer and blends more readily, while Polychromos is harder and better for very fine detail.
Do they work for burnishing and solvent blending?
Yes. The oil-based core burnishes to a smooth finish and responds well to odorless mineral spirits and blending markers.
Is the 150 set worth it over smaller sets?
If you work in many colors and layer heavily, the full range avoids gaps and repeat purchases. Casual users can start smaller and add open-stock pencils.
What comes in the box?
The set contains 150 colored pencils in a presentation case with trays.
Where is the Holbein Artists' Colored Pencil Set of 150 cheapest?
At Opus Art Supplies, for $579.25, as of our latest check.
