Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by this ascending from color creatively. I just posted a video about these Artese premium pencils wrecking a page in my book. I did not test these against water. I assumed that they were just regular colored pencils. I do have the, this is the premium, the pencils that come 48 in a tube. These are the Artese expert that come in a 10 and they're 120 and they did not at all run with water or be affected. However, the Artese premium did, so that was my warning. But now I have to issue another warning. And this one I decided to try out SJ Starjoy. These are sold by Deli and Deli pencils. And I know a lot of you have these and I love them and I have them, but I've never realized they were water soluble. I bought these because Artese had this problem and now I'm finding out that these other brands have the problem too. Now I've got other pencil brands in my collection and I will test them privately before I use them in my books. But just to let you know, please test your pencils and I am finished with buying anything from China. I am going to stick with my well-known brands like Dureland or Faber Castell or even Amazon basics I think. I'm going to give them a try, but they should be fine. Now I'm just going to stick with well-known brands that's not going to be affected by water. Now when I color, I use watercolor in my coloring books and I also use zested blending solvent. So there's a problem with both of those if you are having a pencil that is supposed to not be water soluble and it is. Here's my page that looks good. However, look at the back. It's just full and the only color that bled through was the pink, the magenta. However, I tested the other colors here and they were running too. So if you're going to use any kind of wet mediums which I do a lot in my books, I just want to make everyone aware that if you purchase these pencils, they could damage your book if you use any solvents or wet mediums. So if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below and I did contact Laurie at color my world because she recommended these and I believe her. She's a great gal and a great channel and I recommend her channel. But I don't know that she tested them. I finally found her email to send her an email to let her know because this will probably not be, she will not be happy with this. So if you have any questions or comments, please let me know and please test your pencils please before you try them in your book, especially a double-sided expensive book like I just used. So any comments or suggestions please leave them below and I will try to answer them the best I can. So until we meet again, happy coloring.
