Gorgeous colors & extras in this set!

I love these watercolor crayons! I recently started venturing into other watercolor mediums (pencils, crayons) for fun - I'm not an artist by any means - and bought a set of 12 that were not marketed as "gelatos" (aka: cheaper) and liked them. So I found this set at a killer price and splurged...I am so glad I did! The variety of colors is wonderful and they're beyond your standard color spectrum. I do find that using a gesso on whatever surface I'm working with makes blending much easier, so for the important stuff, I add that step. I will say that, compared to the cheaper ones (not called "gelatos"), they do seem just slightly different, and I can't really say how - mainly in the ease of blending and perhaps a slightly smoother application. They look just the same, and are packaged just the same, so they very well might be the exact same product, but they act differently for me on the exact same surfaces. I only use my fingers or a brush for blending, but I like the little tools that come with this, and it's opened me up to a few new ones I wouldn't have thought about. The box is gorgeous and something you don't mind having out if that's your organizational system. Clean up from fingertips is a breeze with water.

Beautiful bright rich colors

I initially ordered the Gelatos because they appeared to be versatile in their uses, including wet and dry use, smudgable with a finger and produce bright color. They can be used with stamps, used to color over images in art journals, to create beautiful backgrounds for cards or journal pages, add touches of color to mixed media paintings and it's possible to cut a bit of the product off the tip, put in a small spray bottle with water and create color sprays. The set of 28 is a bit pricey, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting in my own art journals and mixed media pieces that I feel they are worth the price for me. Faber-Castell also has many smaller kits with new colors so that you can keep adding to your collection.I think any crafter or artist would find good use for these colorful pigment tubes. Their consistency is similar to lipstick or chapstick, they glide on substrates nicely, and they can be layered with other products (especially the Faber Castell big brush markers). The brightness of the color was a real draw for me. They don't feel particularly greasy once on the page, but I do spray workable fixative over them to insure the color stays put when I start layering other media.

Underrated but also a little overpriced

I’m surprised these gelatos aren’t more popular. They are the kind of product you can do apply them in so many different ways. Use them on stencils, on rubber stamps, like watercolors this list goes on. The two biggest problems are the price point (they last a while if your careful). This package has the gelatos that are the size of a chapstick. And the really big problem is that the colors aren’t completely permanent. If you use them in an art journal the pigment will get onto the next page. They are kinda like oil pastels but fancier.

Vibrant colors for cardmakers!

I absolutely LOVE these colors! I think of them as crayons for grownups, but they are really much more. I use them for both cards and scrapbooking to color stamped images. For a special look, I stamp and emboss the image first. The embossing acts as a resist giving a lovely effect. They go on smooth directly on paper and can be blended with a wet paintbrush or baby wipe giving the color a soft edge. Be careful not to overwork the product as this wears the paper. On YouTube you can find many more techniques to use with this product including using the gelato directly on a wet stamp, making a mist with the gelato and more. This is a large set, so the buyer has lots of color choices to explore on a rainy afternoon and even the novice like myself can achieve wonderful results. There is a less expensive gel stick available that works almost as well, but not quite. I hope you have as much fun playing with these as I am having.

Fantastic Deal.

I wasn't sure I'd like Gelatos. Turns out I love them. They travel. They are easy to grab. There's mostly no cleanup. Why didn't someone think to package art materials like this before? I loved this set so much - the set with the pallet knife - that I saved up and got the second set too. These worked so well I started prowling Ebay for lots of second hand gelatos and deals on damaged packaging gelatos and now I have about 50 of them. I use them for cardmaking and art journaling. They couldn't be handier!

Awesome medium

Used on canvas. Little goes long way blends easily with make up sponges included can be wetted and painted like water color applies smoothly like oil pastels. Vibrant colors blend to make new colors and color gradients. Dried fast and nearly completely highly satisfied highly recommend! Can also blend with fingers and wipe off much for errors
