The colors are saturated, but because of the higher fat content is not quite as intense in color as the Pablos by Caran d'Ache. Nevertheless, the polys are very creamy in the smear and especially for fine, recommended detailed work. The high-quality oil pastels pens are also top notch for Mixed Media techniques. They are almost limitless applications.
All pins break - even the polys. Nevertheless, they are my first choice
and I've tried all the brands. Also in handling they meet me best. Facilities for pins that provide an almost unlimited range of possibilities and long, wishes colorintensive and accurate results,
should opt for the Polychromos pins made by Faber-Castell.
