Mixed Media Gel Stick Crayons - 48 Colors

My art studio has been using these as multi media paint sticks for 4 years and we regularly incorporate these into our watercolor projects! Because it’s a writing utensil, it gives the younger students more control than a brush. We activate the colors with a water brush after the colors are applied. The media sticks are glossy, and blendable without water. I’ve bought almost every brand of multi media paint sticks and these are the best quality by far!

I'm a teacher and make a lot of classroom posters documenting student ideas. These are great for adding color. They are faster and last longer than markers; are less mess than paints; and show up better than crayons. I really like that they blend with water and a brush. The pastel set is nice- the light colors show up well on dark paper. But the color selection is a little repetitive (lots of pink, blue/green and yellow), a couple colors don't seem to fit in (burgundy, raspberry and petal), and I wish it came with a white. You're buying a lot of plastic and I wish they were refillable and came with a recyclable cardboard box rather than a glitter plastic case. They don't really "dry" and can smudge off. I can't go over them with a marker - clogs the tip. I can't imagine what fine art would get made with them but like I said, they are great in a middle school classroom.

I love these! I have 2 of these sets. One is in use and the other waits as backup. These last remarkably long. I've done many 16x20 canvases with them and I've only depleted the black and white ones. I've given up all other painting materials in favor of tempera sticks and gel sticks. The colors are intense. The material is versatile for many different effects and they blend well or can be layered by letting the base color dry completely. They are soft enough to allow "skimming" over the canvas or paper's texture to create great textural effects. Cleanup is easy, plus they're nontoxic, so what's not to love?!

I got this as a free gift from kingart (thank u). I tested it out ant makes.for great backgrounds. I will be buying a few more if these!

Wow! Where have these gel sticks been all my life? Great for mixed media work on canvas and my bound sketchbook (see the sky at top of photo of my art piece in progress). Great color selection. Blends well. Quality. Best price ever! I will definitely buy these again. I purchased the KINGART® Gel Stick Artist Mixed Media Watercolor Crayons, Set of 72 Unique Colors.

I love all the colors in this set! They are creamy and blend so nicely. I will use these in addition to some watercolor cream sticks that I have as a base for some of my paper quilling. Here is a link where I do a full review… https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNPaBnxX/

Great deal really. I hope to buy very soon again.

These are like a combo of oil pastels and crayons, amazing painting sticks, good blending quality. I've used on textured paper and smooth. Artwork dries to the touch, but I found I wanted to finish with fixative before framing.

Great set and color variety.
Experimenting on how best to use them and how to blend them effectively.
In many ways I think I like working with them better than my watersoluable oil pastels. Still need to play with them more but so far great!

I bought a set of 12 and I have to say they are really fun to work with. I love them for creating backgrounds with some texture. They run easy on the watercolor paper and also work with water, though not the stronger feature they do a decent work.

I bought the primary 12 color set at a discount store as I had never seen these sticks. I haven't gone back. I upgraded to the 72 color set and buy the individual ones as the color runs out.

I didn’t know what to expect with this purchase but I bought them from a recommendation from an online painting group I am in. What fun these gel crayons are! I enjoy the color choices. They are well pigmented and blend well. They have a fair amount of play time as they don’t seem to dry immediately on the page. I prefer working with them as blend-able crayons- not as a wet/paint style media. Very fun for working quick and loose in my sketchbook. These will be a permanent part of my studio supplies for sure!

I stumbled apong these while searching for supplies and now i can't stop using them!! bummer too because all the stores around me are sold out

I got the "Gel Stick Artist Mixed Media Watercolor Crayons, Set of 72 Unique Colors". This product was amazing. The choice and range of color options are extensive, the oil stick glides smoothly on paper, the colors are fairly pigmented and are buildable. The oil stick is on the softer side, so it melts nicely and is blendable and buildable with other colors. It does not rub off my paper, so that was quite impressive. I was not expecting much as this is my very first purchase from this brand, but the performance of the product exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

I've been drawing with Kingart's gel sticks for two years now, combining them in my paintings with tempera paint sticks. The colors are rich and stunning. I especially love the largest set of 72 colors because of the extended pastel and some dark hues such as cool gray, sea green, taupe, smoke, cocoa, light aqua, blue sky, burgundy, and others. I would recommend this wonderful medium to any fellow artist.

The only two things I'd love to change for the best are to be able to buy gel sticks by color (some colors are finished quicker, and I can't get new ones in quantities I would like to have); another thing that would be great if the palette extended far beyond 72 colors. There is always a need for much darker colors, more hues of grays, blues and greens. Wonderful Kingart, will you consider making this helpful changes, which, I'm sure, many artists will appreciate? :)

I absolutely love these gel sticks! They are so creamy and fun to work with. Lots of great colors!

The gel stick crayons were delivered quickly. The sticks themselves are rich in color and a joy to work with! (I use them kind of like an oil pastel to create landscapes.) The cases they come in are also nice. I recommend this product!

Great gel sticks and wonderful company. Thank you

These are somewhere the consistency of an eyeshadow stick if you've ever used those. They go on feeling waxy, but they can be moved around with water, which is just crazy. I bought the shimmer set just to try them but I will get more. Nice color payoff for shimmers.

Love these
