Hello everyone. Thank you for stopping by today. This is Sandy from Color Creatively. And I've stopped by to show you something that I've recently purchased. I did not receive these from anybody. I bought them with my own money. So this review is strictly my own opinion. I'm using these the whole weekend. And I wanted to tell you that they're wonderful. They're oil-based pencils. And you get 160 in here for around $30. You might have to go to Amazon to check it out because prices change a little bit. And I don't know if they're available today, but you know, go to Amazon and check. Shazan 160 colored pencils. And they're oil-based, which for me is a big advantage. These are ideal for adult coloring books. They're soft cores. And when I was coloring with them, they were very smooth. You could feel it. And they have vibrant pigment. Now they're not going to be a softest prismacolor. Prismacolor are wonderful. And I do have those too. But they're not a layering pencil like oil-based pencils. So they're a wax base. So depending on what you're looking for, for me, I prefer oil-based. I have more control and I feel pigments are working better for me the way I do my work. Okay, they're non-toxic. They're break resistant, providing you sharpening with the correct sharpener. And here we go. If you use a coom sharpener like this, these are available in Amazon. They have two different holes. You can replace these blades when they get dull. Or they're coming to pack a three. These are very inexpensive. So you might want to just throw them away and buy another pack of three. The other one is M and R. M plus R. And this has a smaller hole and a larger hole. This is heavy. It's copper. And these blades are made in Germany. And I do have replacement blades for this sharpener also. The other one by Coom, not Coom, but M and M plus R is the bullet type. And it has just one hole. It is a bullet. And again, you can buy replacement blades. I keep my pencils in here. And with these, you can sharpen any soft core pencil you'll have less breakage. So if you have Christmas color, please go ahead and get these sharpeners. Okay, another thing is I showed you some watercolor by Dale or Ronnie that I got at Walmart. And it was in a container like this. I've thrown them away. This is artisa. But they were in a container like this. They were a lot of pastel colors. And I thought that they were working good when I did the video for you on a mixed media background. But they have since flaked off. They're very chalky. I had to throw them away. So please don't go by those. If you want watercolor. In this type of a format, please buy the artisa brand. And they're available on Amazon also. Okay, let's take a look at these pencils. And then let me show you what I've done with them over the weekend. I'm going to turn them like this so we can have room here on my desk for my. Trays, there's four trays. There's 160 different colors. The and there's metallic. And there's pastels in here. And they're just beautiful. Look at the colors. Now these are not in the exact order that I got them in because I've been using them all weekend. But you can see the vibrant colors on the outside of them. The inside is just just beautiful. These for around $30 are just a great. Whoops, I'm dropping them now. They're a great bargain. And here are the browns and graves and goals. They're just gorgeous. I will be putting these in a pencil case. I don't like working with the trays like this. But some of you might. And if so, then you can keep them in the tray because in this box because the box is very nice and has a magnetic closure. Okay, let's take a look at some of the stuff that I've done here in world of flowers. I went over my water-based marker with these pencils and did my detailing. And it came out very vibrant. The colors are very vibrant. Very happy with that. Then I went over this one with alcohol markers I used. And I went over this and did the detailing with these pencils and they were fine. I really enjoyed that. And then I used the pencil strictly by itself. And here we go. Let me show you what I did here. I just used them on this paper. And they were lovely. And you can see how vibrant the colors are. I have no complaint. They layered. They were smooth. They blended. So anytime you're looking for a budget-friendly pencil, I think these are to look for. I don't know if they're going to stay at this price. So if you're interested, I would encourage you to go to Amazon and get them while they're at this price range. A lot of times prices on Amazon change. If any of you have done flowers this month, February 2020, and would like your subscriber and would like your pictures in my video, at the end of the month called Pictures Colored by You, I give you a forum where I make a movie and I put music to it and I get to share your work with everyone else. So you can email those to me. And my email appears in the description of every video. So I just wanted to stop by with a quick review on this and also to tell you about the pictures colored by you video and also to let you know about daily around water color set, not to buy them. Sorry that I use them on camera and they were great. But then when they dry, they just flaked off like chalk. So I didn't even give them away. So I just want to thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them in the description below or email me and I'll try my best to answer them. Thank you and have a happy day and happy coloring.
