The Studio Collection is Winsor & Newton's entry-level colored pencil line, sold in a plain embossed metal tin. The 12-pencil set has thick, soft cores that lay down rich color and blend easily, which makes shading and layering forgiving for beginners. Against artist-grade pencils like Prismacolor Premier or Faber-Castell Polychromos, the cores are softer and the range is small, so serious colorists will outgrow it, but it is a solid starter set in a reusable tin.

Owners of the Studio Collection pencils generally describe them as smooth, creamy and easy to blend, and a good value introduction to colored pencil work. More experienced artists say the soft cores sharpen away quickly and the small color range limits them.
This set has 12 colour pencils with thick cores. The leads are soft and smooth, and they respond well to the hand. The soft texture makes the colours easy to blend.
The pencils suit both building up intense colour and delicate shading. They come in a plain metal tin embossed with the Winsor & Newton logo.
