I’m testing a new set of colored pencils and I thought it was a great opportunity to expand my color palette collection!
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry – I’ll catch you up real quick. I created an awesome freebie that lets you collect, save and reuse color palettes. And I don’t mean color palettes from Pinterest or color books, oh no! I mean actual, real-life color palettes created with the pencils and pens you own. Sounds pretty cool, right?
I’m actually starting my own collection and I encourage you to join me on this exciting journey! Sign up to download the free cards in my previous post or get this book with sample cards to cut and color.
The pencils
Ok, a few words about the pencils I’m using: They are Arteza Expert Colored Pencils. I’m working with a set of 48 colors. I think it’s worth mentioning that I received these pencils as part of an art collaboration with Arteza, free of charge. I have to say, these pencils have been a very positive surprise. A full review will be on the blog later this month, so keep an eye out for that 😉
Now, back to our collection!

My eldest daughter is saving up money to buy some Arteza products and those look amazing. Definitely like palette #2 since I quite like the color blue.
Ohh, she’ll love them! They have a wonderful range of products! ????
I want to download your printables so I can create my own color palettes too. I love adult coloring books and spend quite some time on them. It is just so relaxing!
I’m glad you like them, Kristine! 🙂

Your work is lovely. It looks like it’s easy to use those pencils, they leave a great texture.
Thank you! Oh yes, the pencils are really nice, they covered the cardstock very smoothly and the best part? I only colored one layer to get these vivid colors!
Something about colored pencils always sparks my creativity. These look like they’re really good quality as well.
Yesss! I can soooo relate. It’s like I can hear the creativity whispering to my ear.
Thank you for this post! I was looking for some great colored pencils for an upcoming vacation since our plane flight will be so long! Ordering today!
