Our take on the Prismacolor Colored Pencil Sets

Prismacolor Premier colored pencils are wax-based artist pencils with soft, thick leads. The lead is bonded to the wood core to resist breakage, and the color lays down smooth without scratching. They blend easily and hold their color over time, which is why they are a standard choice for colored pencil artists. Against harder, oil-based rivals they blend and layer faster but wear down quicker and need more sharpening.

Questions and answers

Are these good for beginners?
Yes, if you want soft, blendable color. They are forgiving to layer, but the soft lead needs frequent sharpening, which some beginners find fussy.
How do they compare with oil-based pencils?
They blend faster and feel creamier than harder oil-based pencils. Oil-based pencils hold a sharper point longer and show less wax bloom.
Do the colors fade over time?
The line is known for strong lightfastness, so finished work holds color well. Framing under glass and keeping pieces out of direct sun still helps.
What is wax bloom and can I remove it?
It is a whitish haze that can rise to the surface on waxy layers. Wiping gently with a soft cloth or tissue usually clears it.
Are the pencils pre-sharpened?
Sets generally arrive sharpened and ready to use. Expect to resharpen soon because the lead is soft.
Where is the Prismacolor Colored Pencil Sets cheapest?
At MC Art Supplies, for $27.63, as of our latest check.
