STAEDTLER 8500 C12 Karat Acrylic Paint Tube - Multi-Colour (Pack of 12)

Good quality

Excellent paint! Exactly as described

Nice pigmented watercolors! They dry very matte (almost chalky but not much). They're amazing and a great deal for the price you pay! There's quite a bit of product so it might last a long time!Only downside I'd say if you let them dry in your palette they crack a little bit, but I don't think that's a big problem.(I recommend use decent brushes with these and enough water!)

I purchased this set looking for a cheaper option than my beloved but wildly expensive Caran D’Ache crayons for sketchbooks and studies and other things that don’t call for the most premium supplies. These are….well. Not premium. But not terrible.The pros: applied with a light hand to cold press paper and was able to dissolve all of the marks and get a smooth color gradient with a reasonably good vibrancy. They are the size of normal crayons, not an odd or awkward shape - though the tips are weird; why taper them if you’re not going to give us a pointed tip? Not sure what the point of the shape is. I didn’t bother to sharpen them because I’m quite used to using the edge of a blunt crayon or pastel for thinner lines, but if you’re wanting a pointed tip you’ll have to sharpen it yourself. Anyway. Other pro, a nice assortment of colors. Warm and cool everything so I can make any color I need with the set.Con’s: The wrappers are loose and slide around annoyingly. I want to just rip them off and I may well do that. Sloppy. The crayons all had this white residue on them - I’m assuming it’s the wax binder? I ended up wiping each crayon’s tip with a lightly damp shop towel before using it to make sure what I was laying down wasn’t just pure binder. I don’t know if it make any difference but I did it anyway. The color payout is decent but not awe-inspiring; the much cheaper Faber Castel set I got that’s aimed at children has a much more vibrant color payout. On the one hand, the wet pigment looks very similar to the dry pigment, so you know what you’re getting, but on the other hand, who uses watercolor crayons expecting the pigments to look the same wet as dry? I was expecting a bit more vibrancy. That’s what I like and what I seek from my art supplies and most of the colors were just too subdued for my taste. The crayons are very hard, which is a pro or a con depending on what you want. Because of their hardness I was able to shade in some very fine lines, better than I can get with some pencils. But if I want that consistency I’m probably using pencils; for me, crayons are not for fine details, they’re for bold and expressive strokes, and these don’t deliver that.All in all, they’re a mediocre offering from Staedtler. Sad, because I am in love with their fine liners and their permanent ink brush pens. I thought these would be better than they are. The only reason I kept them is the other set I got only had fifteen colors. I’m going to keep experimenting with what the best way to use these is. I really need to stop using my Neocolors in my sketchbook. Those are meant to be seen in something hanging on a wall.

Ótima aquarelaBem pigmentadaRende muito

Ils sont facilement cassables,se brisenten deux au milieu, ne pas les manipuler avec force. Mais sinon ils sont parfaits pour mes besoins.

Eu, sinceramente, não fazia ideia se essa marca era boa ou não, mas me surpreendi muito com a pigmentação dela. As cores são bem vivas e misturam muito bem. Vale muito a pena!
