I have reviewed a few Cretacolor products over the years and Cretacolor is another one of those companies with a very prestigious name and history, yet with perhaps the exception of their wonderful Cretacolor Pastel Pencil range. Nevertheless, Cretacolor products are unfortunately not popular among artist content creators and for the life of me I am unsure as to why this appears to be the case.
The Cretacolor AquaGraph barrel is round sporting a gunmetal grey appearance with a metallic silver print. The core of the AquaGraph is a generous 3.8mm, encased within a well balanced and weighted 7.3mm barrel. The core of the Cretacolor AquaGraph pencils sharpener incredibly well and considering a water soluble core, holds its point quite well.
First things first, as you can see in this review I have the full 72 set of Cretacolor Pastel Pencils, if I can I always try to obtain the full set so that I can showcase the full palette. The main tin is covered with this cardboard sleeve which displays artwork completed by the very pastel pencils in the package.
The palette choice for the entire range is exceptional, fantastic range of light, dark and mid-tone ranges of primary and secondary colors, a generous selection of browns and greys, colors I sometimes feel are overlooked with other brands.
