Loved the rich oil based pigments. Not only that but the books included to show step by step techniques. Others love watching especially blending and other strokes. If you want to elevate and make it pop trust your instincts.

On the left is Castle gold pencils, right is my old crayola set. The difference is amazing, they are so smooth, bold, and layer well. I’m a beginner but I would recommend!
