Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils

A while ago I released my Top 5 Budget Colored Pencils, I am always being asked what my favourite colored pencils are and I have always been reluctant to say what they are because I don't want other artists, especially young or new artist to be influenced by what my favourite pencils are. Here we take a look at my Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils.

However by creating these list I don't really say what my all time favourite colored pencil is and only according to the list. In this video we go down the rabbit hole and I show you what my top 5 artist grade colored pencils are. In the video I explain my interpretation of the difference between artist grade and artist quality colored pencils.

I would like to stress that this is not a definitive list, I am not saying these are the best colored pencils in the world, I am not saying that you should consider the list when buying your colored pencils, nor am I suggesting you have to live your artistic life around this list. The pencils in this top 5 list are only my favourite after 7 years of testing, researching, demonstrating and reviewing colored pencils, of which there have been many. I would love however to hear what your top 5 artist grade colored pencils would be and I think it would be cool to see how similar or different the lists are and we can embrace those differences. You might hear about a pencil you had never considered and try it and it end up in your best 5.

For every pencil I have mentioned in this list, I have provided links back to my original review of them just incase you would like to know more in-depth detail about the pencils. I have also completed a written Top 5 Artist Grade Colored Pencils which I think will aid in helping people understand a few things I discuss in the video regarding lightfast grading.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart, I know sometimes YouTubers say these things to their subscribers and viewers and it can sound so disingenuous, I really hope that what I am saying does not feel like this to you. None of you really know just how much I value you watching these videos, leaving comments and getting conversation going and so much more.

As someone who is a disabled British Army veteran and on my own so much of the time while my wife is at work and my kids are at University, work or college, you guys have become my social life and more.
