5.0 out of 5 starsWow, What a Steal!

I can't believe Amazon has this for less than $80! I bought it here but I saw this same mixed media kit at Michael's art & craft store for $199.00!!!! OUTRAGEOUS! Grab this set now while you still can. It's fantastic. I was planning on buying the full 150 colour kit of Prismacolor Premier pencils but at the last minute I thought "Hey, that mixed media kit looks good" It only comes with 48 coloured pencils, but it also comes with water-colour pencils and verithin pencils AND artsticks. So now I get to play around and see what I like. It's a very impressive kit, beautiful colours, the pencils I got feel very good quality. I will put up some pictures of the kit. The only complaint I have is that it comes in a really cheap-o cardboard box and not a metal tin, and the flimsy plastic inserts that the pencils rest on annoy me because they're hard to take out of the box without dumping the pencils. I will probably just get a nice Artbin pencil case or something but for now I'm going to keep the kit all together in the box. It won't be new and pretty for long once I get using it.
