Pro Tip: What I learned in high school art class, ages ago, is: When you are using a photo reference and grid technique, TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN. Draw your art with what is there, not what you think *should* be there. You'll be surprised to find out just how much your brain warps your ability to draw what you see based on what you (instinctively) need to recognize. It's like the map of Siam in "The King and I", what you focus on is what you are inclined to draw BIG and then you try to squish in the other details. If you turn it all upside down, your brain has a harder time seeing what *should* be there and instead sees what *is* there. Give this technique a try, especially if you decide to apply it to a face (animal or human). It's worth the exercise to discover for yourself what you see.
I think that is a cool concept and really not too bad in price especially since you could use the $5 off the next box coupon if you got them one at a time. I remember them doing something simlar back in the late 90s. I had a pear drawing kit. It was printed on black paper and had a step by step booklet and came with the pencils you needed. I think the project was designed by Janie Gildow who was a prominent instructor at the time. It was pretty cool.
I love the idea of these boxes and you presented it so well! It’s a shame about the paper (it’s so so important!) and I wish they had a portrait set too.
Jennifer, you did a magnificent job on this review. Although I have the 150 set of Prisma pencils, I have no desire whatsoever to get any of the sets you reviewed! But you really did a wonderful job on explaining everything about them and I was so fascinated by your review I stuck around and watched the whole thing from start to finish. You mesmerized me. You did a wonderful job and I just wanted you to know that. And even though I have no desire to purchase any of the kits , I still found your review so interesting I watched every minute!!! Thank you for a very interesting evening watching you review something I have no interest in all. LOL Your explanation about the proper paper was extremely important, especially for those who do not realize how much just the paper can impact one's art. I'm so glad you took the time to really explain that. Over all - a job really well done and I thank you very much for all the wonderful things you do for us all. Blessings and Love to You, Steve, and Your Family -
I hope PRISMACOLOR folks are watching this video !! Great information… and YES paper quality is SOOOO important. I totally appreciate your review of this series. I was going to get this kit for a grandchild, but now will provide my kiddos with materials independently.
Very interesting. Was great to see what was in all 6 boxes as well as your thorough review from a person who is so familiar with the subject matter. Thank you for the video.
What a thorough presentation!! While I have Prismacolors pencils in abundance, you stirred my interest on the watercoler markers and the alcohol markers by Prismacolor. You are so right about the paper!! And the last landscape was charming!! (I have a secret aversion to gridding)🤣 Thanks so much!
Bought one of these at Walmart this morning - Level 2 Nature. I have yet to try everything in the kit but I tested one of the brush markers on a scrap of Strathmore 400 series watercolor paper. It blends very nicely! The two brushes are a nice addition as well. In case anyone is wondering, the drawing pad is 6 x 8.5 in size. And the included $5 off coupon expires on June 30, 2023 😄 I'll be looking into the Level 3 Nature set next!
Ooohh!!! I love these! I 🖤 my Prismacolors and feel one can not have too many 😀. I like the idea of trying different products in their line and getting instruction on how they recommend using them. I am looking forward to adding these to my supplies. Thank you 😊
I totally enjoyed watching you step your way through these boxes. I didn't even know Prismacolor stepped into this category. Your explanations were through, reasonable, and so helpful! Thanks a lot
I love your videos! They do seem like a really good value for all that comes in them and like you said a great way to try a variety of tools. Thank you 😊
Hi Jennifer what an amazing informative video, thank you so much for taking the time to do such a thorough and unbiased review. I cant get enough of your calm, cheerful videos (with hubby putting in his two cents worth, lol, in the background every now and then) I feel as if I'm at a friend's place colouring along. At 73 I am learning a new medium with the coloured pencils and loving it. (prompted in part by our almost 2 year Covid lockdown in Melbourne) Thankyou for your kind happy manner and providing such easy to follow tutorials for beginners like this 'old girl' God Bless xo Elise Mitton, Melbourne, Australia
I have been a viewer for over two years and this is the best video that you have yet it is awesome thank you so much you and your husband save us so much time money and energy just by reviewing these things I value your honest opinion thank you so much
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for doing this video. I was wondering how these boxes worked and if I needed to buy all 3 in each set. I am looking forward to getting the nature set. Hmm maybe for my birthday in a couple of weeks?? 😊
Thank you so much for this review! It was especially great to hear what frustrated you as far as the paper selection and the video instructions. One thing I always appreciate about your instruction is how complete and thorough you are! (You wouldn’t have been drawing in a pencil we couldn’t see and you definitely would’ve explained the various liners and pencils!)
Thank you for doing this video and your honest assessment of the different kits and the two different series. I have the full set of 150 Prismacolor pencils, so I didn't have any interest in the kits; however, I did want to see you open the kits and get your review on them.
Excellent trial w/ exactly the info I hoped for. Thx a million Ms Jennifer! Truly appreciate your candor, & all of the effort U place in these projects. Makes the buying decision easy for me. Perfect! - JMH 🤓🐶
Thank you Ms. Jennifer! Amazon has the Nature Level 2 set on sale half price so I ordered it. So glad I watched your video first so I know to switch out the paper! ❤️
I am glad you die this for all your viewers. Also, I am glad I didn't go ahead and buy these. I have signed up for an online site which has great lessons, but doesn't mention paper types and the only way to get all the pencils for the lessons is to buy a full set of Prismacolor. There are many instructors, each with their unique style of instruction. By the way, I love your videos. Have watched many, and some from others that you have mentioned. As expected, each has a unique style. I am glad there are many who are able to do videos, as I have learned much from several.
Appreciate the review on these sets. I'm just getting started as a self learner and I do plan to get the right paper. I also plan to do a side by side of the same photo on both the provided paper and the right paoer. I think it will help me grasp the concept of the appropriate tools to put together for various projects. This way, in the long run, it's easier for me to know what I'll need versus what I want to happen. Thanks for this 🖤🧡
Thanks for your critique of these boxes. My grandson (16 yr old) loves the Prismacolor pencils, and I thought I would get him one of these for his birthday. Your video was very helpful. I think I will get him the Nature, level 1, and some correct paper, as you suggested. Tfs!
I appreciate this video. The concept of the boxes are great, so true that the right paper is a game changer. I already own a huge set of Prismacolor pencils already, I would be interested in getting a box or two for a budding artist in my life, would include the correct paper. BTW, I joined your coloring bliss website and subscribed to your TH-cam channel. I do a lot of fine art and crafts, would like to do a bit of adult coloring too. Glad to find your channel.
I would like to see your animals track. I appreciate your thorough look at them. I would have run into same issues you did. I may pick up one to play with
Hi Jennifer Great review video loved it. I love my prismacolor pencils and these sets are an ideal way to have a play with different products. I have a few of their watercolour pencils and hate them. The pigment doesn't dissolve properly. Albrecht Durer have definitely provided the best pigment dissolving watercolour pencils. (in my opinion that is). Again thanks for all your hard work and I really appreciate it. Cheers 😊
As soon as you opened that drawing pad, I knew a struggle would ensue. I would love to see how these would turn out for you using the correct paper. ❤❤❤👍Great job conquering the levels and being able to push yourself out of your comfort zone. As always, we're so sorry Rose😍
Wow, that was very informative. I just wish South Africa sold Prisma colors. I would love a set like that!!!! Thanx so much Jennifer for all ur insight. I just love ur personality. Hope u have a wonderful weekend. God bless
These technique boxes look like a great idea, especially for someone who wants to see how they might like color pencils. I don't think I would really need them. But for those just starting out, going through the instructions in a more methodical way might really be helpful. I think it's great that you will go through each one of these boxes to show people how they can do it.
Loved your review of the boxes and your final assessment of the kits! I figured the paper would be basically useless for these sets, but was curious about whether the pencil rolls would accommodate each entire line of the sets? I’m kind of thinking the markers in both sets won’t fit. It’s nice that they added it, but maybe it would have been better if they had designed a combination roll/pouch to cover all the supplies provided. Anyway, now I’m going to go take five of the sets out of my cart so I can start gathering the coupons! Lol
The pencil rolls are not big enough for all the pencils and markers included in the 3 boxes. I plan on using them to organize pencils into curated sets for specific projects I’m working on.
Best pencil sharpener I've ever used. I have several of them. My Prismas are EXTREMELY sharp and never had any break on me. I poked myself accidently with a pencil and point was so sharp it brought blood. Now THAT'S SHARP. lol
@Coloring Bliss - Jen! Great video! You did an amazing job and I appreciated it so much. Without your video, I may have gone out and purchased a couple of these and then been disappointed when I got to them a year or two down the road. LOL :)
Thank you for your video! I’m a novice trying to teach myself and I’ve been looking at these sets in Walmart for a while. I’m now excited to invest in them, thank your for the heads up on the paper I would not have realized if you didn’t mention it. I would also love to see you do the other set.
Thanks for the information. You know I think Prismacolor had something like this before, just before the colouring craze started. It was mostly an image and included colour pencils. I believe they put out two kits but pretty soon everyone was buying colouring books and all types of colouring tools.
Wow! Thanks for sharing because I had seen them at my Walmart and was going to buy them, but was not in my budget. I don’t regret buying them at all! I loved the nature one, but my photographs with my camera are way better than anything I can draw 😅😊
Such a good demo! I would have liked to see the coloured pencils in the roll so I could get a better visual on what you get collectively at the end of the day. Do you know if they going to bring out any other ranges? Love love love you channel!
I haven’t heard any rumors about future products from Prismacolor. They are and always have been very difficult to communicate with. By the way…I thought about loading up the pencil roll, but as soon as I realized that all the pencils would not fit, I decided to not spend the time in this video.
Jennifer I love your videos! You and Steve are so amazing! Most definitely, please, show your video of successes and failures. It's nice for me to compare what you deal with and see if I'm having the same issues. I think I'm going to try one of these and check it out. Thanks again! P.S. I purchased great paper from your studio, so I definitely know the importance of the correct paper. Steve definitely taught us that. I love your paper.
Great review. I may put these on my wish list full well knowing that there are issues. And yes, would love to see the results of the second set lessons
Thats so cool and I'm so sad, that there is no chance to get the boxes in germany, thank you to have a look into these fantastic boxes, I think that would be a good idea to improve drawing skills 😘
Thank you for your thorough and honest review. Could you please tell me what paper you recommend for pencil crayons, and that you use? Love your little dog...Janis
Thank you. I’m excited for the goodies in the boxes but not on doing the assignments if incorrect paper is given!!!! Also, Prisma MUST INCLUDE IN THE BOXES the exact PHOTO REFERENCES instead of placing them solely on their website. Until they can EASILY accommodate these NECESSITIES, I will hold off on purchasing these promising products. Out of curiosity, what is the difference in cost when purchasing the kits versus the products individually? Unfortunately, there are doubles which must be considered. Would it be cheaper to purchase each pencil, pen, graphite pencil, watercolors individually? Last question (VERY IMPORTANT) did they supply SCHOLAR OR PREMIER pencils?
I expect to see duplicates from nature to animal boxes but it seems a bit lazy finding duplicates in the same series of boxes! I am disappointed that the pencil rolls are insufficient for all of the pencils if you buy all the sets in the series. I am glad that you are excited for the boxes and I will be looking to see if you can create the art mentioned on the boxes! I am curious about how well you are able to follow along and create even more artworks after you complete the lessons! Watercolor pencils are very difficult to get the hang of and working with the wrong surfaces is inexcusable! You are so correct! Maybe they mixed up the papers in the boxes? Thank you for sharing this with us!
Wasn't it the same paper in all the boxes? Of course, that wouldn't make it the RIGHT paper for all the boxes, but I was thinking it was all the same paper.
Thank You for this video! I saw these a while ago and just kept going as I have a full set of pencils and quite a few backs ups, so it seemed irrelevant to me. The level 3 grid confuses me, unless you have a light table/box they seem useless., but if you have one BIG BONUS (lol I have one) Love that there is a variety of tools, not just pencils and paper and half hazard instructions. I agree, YES, the tone of an instructor is SO KEY... cannot tell you how many I have muted, or not even watched because of it. LOL
Thank you for doing this for us. living in Canada some of the lesson 3s are 50 dollars or so. I think the level 1's would be good to have when traveling. You would have all the colors you need . you could do it on their paper and then use your own paper at home.
I am glad i watched this before I went out and purchased them. I pucked up the portrait one on clearance at a big box store....it made it more difficult than it needed to be(the instruction videos)

Good advice. I remember my sister did an art project completely upside down for that very reason.
GREAT ADVICE, thanks.
We always did this as well.
Thx amazing advise, sound logical 👍
Very good tip for people learning to draw. Thank you!
I think that is a cool concept and really not too bad in price especially since you could use the $5 off the next box coupon if you got them one at a time.

Thanks for sharing about past boxes and I agree…with those coupons, the value is awesome!
I’m looking forward to using the 3 coupons from the 3 random boxes my Walmart has to get the other 3
I love the idea of these boxes and you presented it so well! It’s a shame about the paper (it’s so so important!) and I wish they had a portrait set too.
They have a level one portrait kit now.

Wow, who knew we would need instructions to use an instruction set, lol. Thanks Jennifer and Steve!
😂😂 I love this comment
I think your nature 3 picture is really cool. It’s not just a copy, it has personality! Love it!
I am so sorry I missed the live premier! I fell asleep. Long day. hahaha. Anyway, this was AMAZING!! Loved your in depth review of the kits
Very interesting. Was great to see what was in all 6 boxes as well as your thorough review from a person who is so familiar with the subject matter. Thank you for the video.

These are so fun collection! I want them all!😍😄😍
Love the Prismacolor Technique Boxes 💕
Listening to you is such a comfort. Im ill at the moment and listening to you helped me feel better. So thank you
I would love to see your finished pictures from the other sets. Great review!

Brutally honest review ! Thanks so much for doing so !
I could see getting this for my teenage friend who is an aspiring artist as a fun gift, but giving her also some appropriate paper, too.
Sounds like a fun plan!
Really good video! Learned lots and now have an idea of what to tell my sister and or hubby to get me for my birthday! Thank you
I have been a viewer for over two years and this is the best video that you have yet it is awesome thank you so much you and your husband save us so much time money and energy just by reviewing these things I value your honest opinion thank you so much
EXCELLENT REVIEW JENNIFER!!!! FANTASTIC JOB
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for doing this video. I was wondering how these boxes worked and if I needed to buy all 3 in each set. I am looking forward to getting the nature set. Hmm maybe for my birthday in a couple of weeks?? 😊
(Same) not the bday part though, Happy early Birthday to you!
I’m glad I could help…happy birthday!
With some colored pencil and watercolor paper. Happy early birthday!!
Ohh WOW!! You have done an Awesome review!! Thank YOU!!
Thank you! What an informative and educational video! I would love to see you work on the other three boxes to :-)
Very fun starter sets and gifts!
Great review, for the person who wants to try a smattering of prisma products without buying full sets it's not bad for the investment. Thanks!
Your creations are beautiful. I love them. I love your waterfall.
Thank you so much for this review! It was especially great to hear what frustrated you as far as the paper selection and the video instructions. One thing I always appreciate about your instruction is how complete and thorough you are! (You wouldn’t have been drawing in a pencil we couldn’t see and you definitely would’ve explained the various liners and pencils!)
I’m so glad to hear your feelings on my teaching. After being so frustrated with these lessons, it made me wonder how well we are doing.
Awesome information! I’d love to see all the others done, especially on better paper.
Wow thank you for posting. Love all the work you and Steve put into these
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I think these are wonderful for someone just beginning to color.
Thanks so much! Really helpful. Yes please do the dog ones!!!
Fun vid3o and review! Thanks for sharing 💙
Thank you for doing this video and your honest assessment of the different kits and the two different series. I have the full set of 150 Prismacolor pencils, so I didn't have any interest in the kits; however, I did want to see you open the kits and get your review on them.
I just love your reviews!
This was an excellent video. Thanks for all the negatives and positives. I learned a lot from your tricks.
Really appreciate your honest reviews.
Just LOVE you channel. Saw these at Walmart wondered if it was worth it. Thank you Ms Jennifer 🌈❤️
Thank you. Very helpful review! Yes, I'd very much like to see your review of the animal boxes, too!
Excellent trial w/ exactly the info I hoped for. Thx a million Ms Jennifer! Truly appreciate your candor, & all of the effort U place in these projects. Makes the buying decision easy for me. Perfect! - JMH 🤓🐶
Thank you Ms. Jennifer! Amazon has the Nature Level 2 set on sale half price so I ordered it. So glad I watched your video first so I know to switch out the paper! ❤️
Ohh I had this on REMINDER To watch
.My phone went down..uggh.. but I'm all on Watching now!! How cool!! Thanks sooo much!!! I'M TOTALLY EXCITED!!
I want to see the rest of the boxes. Love what you have done with the lessons
Are there others besides the nature and animal series???
Great critique....right on about the paper. loved it!!
I would love to see you follow the animal boxes, and use your own preferred paper ! Thanks for the honest reviews and always great advice
I am glad you die this for all your viewers. Also, I am glad I didn't go ahead and buy these. I have signed up for an online site which has great lessons, but doesn't mention paper types and the only way to get all the pencils for the lessons is to buy a full set of Prismacolor. There are many instructors, each with their unique style of instruction.
By the way, I love your videos. Have watched many, and some from others that you have mentioned. As expected, each has a unique style. I am glad there are many who are able to do videos, as I have learned much from several.
We are so lucky to live in a time where we can do so much learning from home and at our own pace. Amazing!
We would love to see more!
Appreciate the review on these sets. I'm just getting started as a self learner and I do plan to get the right paper.
I also plan to do a side by side of the same photo on both the provided paper and the right paoer.
I think it will help me grasp the concept of the appropriate tools to put together for various projects. This way, in the long run, it's easier for me to know what I'll need versus what I want to happen.
Thanks for this 🖤🧡
Thank you for a great video and your personal tips and recommendations! You are the best!!
I love these boxes, the price is perfect. Not bad at all. Great stuff. Thanks for showing us this. 🇺🇸
Prismacolor needs to hire your input!!! You’re a very good trainer
Thanks for your critique of these boxes. My grandson (16 yr old) loves the Prismacolor pencils, and I thought I would get him one of these for his birthday. Your video was very helpful. I think I will get him the Nature, level 1, and some correct paper, as you suggested. Tfs!
I appreciate this video. The concept of the boxes are great, so true that the right paper is a game changer.

Thank you for going honestly thru all of these boxes! 💗
Gotta go! Running, not walking to Walmart right now! Thanks so much for the video!!
I would like to see your animals track. I appreciate your thorough look at them. I would have run into same issues you did. I may pick up one to play with
This was very interesting. Great review!!! Thanks
What fun!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!
Hi Jennifer
Great review video loved it.
I love my prismacolor pencils and these sets are an ideal way to have a play with different products. I have a few of their watercolour pencils and hate them. The pigment doesn't dissolve properly. Albrecht Durer have definitely provided the best pigment dissolving watercolour pencils. (in my opinion that is).
Again thanks for all your hard work and I really appreciate it.
Cheers 😊
Yes! I love my Albrecht Durer pencils. They won our big watercolor pencil battle
I'M SHOCKED!!😍
Thanks for your honest review. Very helpful! I didn’t know that Prismacolor made water based brush pens! Excited to see what’s available in that line!
Are they Scholar brush pens?
As soon as you opened that drawing pad, I knew a struggle would ensue. I would love to see how these would turn out for you using the correct paper. ❤❤❤👍Great job conquering the levels and being able to push yourself out of your comfort zone. As always, we're so sorry Rose😍
I lovè yr landscape!!
Wow, that was very informative. I just wish South Africa sold Prisma colors. I would love a set like that!!!! Thanx so much Jennifer for all ur insight. I just love ur personality. Hope u have a wonderful weekend. God bless
These technique boxes look like a great idea, especially for someone who wants to see how they might like color pencils. I don't think I would really need them. But for those just starting out, going through the instructions in a more methodical way might really be helpful. I think it's great that you will go through each one of these boxes to show people how they can do it.

The pencil rolls are not big enough for all the pencils and markers included in the 3 boxes. I plan on using them to organize pencils into curated sets for specific projects I’m working on.
@@ColoringBliss That's a great idea! It seems they'd be perfect for projects. :)
Thanks for showing these boxes. I've used the graphite pencils, but little else. These sets are beautiful.
Best pencil sharpener I've ever used. I have several of them. My Prismas are EXTREMELY sharp and never had any break on me. I poked myself accidently with a pencil and point was so sharp it brought blood. Now THAT'S SHARP. lol
@Coloring Bliss - Jen! Great video! You did an amazing job and I appreciated it so much. Without your video, I may have gone out and purchased a couple of these and then been disappointed when I got to them a year or two down the road. LOL :)
Thank you so much. So Informative. Great advice.

Great video! Wish Prisma stuff was more readily available here in the UK....would love to see you demo the other set of boxes :)

It's nice for me to compare what you deal with and see if I'm having the same issues. I think I'm going to try one of these and check it out. Thanks again! P.S. I purchased great paper from your studio, so I definitely know the importance of the correct paper. Steve definitely taught us that. I love your paper.
I got the level one box for nature a couple of months ago and the fine liners were 01 and 005. Interesting that it’s not the same liners in every box.
That is interesting. Maybe that’s why they weren’t extra specific in the video about the products provided in each box.
Very informative❤ ty so much!
Great review. I may put these on my wish list full well knowing that there are issues. And yes, would love to see the results of the second set lessons
Thats so cool and I'm so sad, that there is no chance to get the boxes in germany, thank you to have a look into these fantastic boxes, I think that would be a good idea to improve drawing skills 😘
Thank you for your thorough and honest review. Could you please tell me what paper you recommend for pencil crayons, and that you use? Love your little dog...Janis
Nice job. Very inspiring.
Great review. Interesting sets. Any idea where to pick up a set if one refuses to shop at Wal-Mart?
From what we have searched, it’s only available via Walmart
Thank you. I’m excited for the goodies in the boxes but not on doing the assignments if incorrect paper is given!!!! Also, Prisma MUST INCLUDE IN THE BOXES the exact PHOTO REFERENCES instead of placing them solely on their website. Until they can EASILY accommodate these NECESSITIES, I will hold off on purchasing these promising products. Out of curiosity, what is the difference in cost when purchasing the kits versus the products individually? Unfortunately, there are doubles which must be considered. Would it be cheaper to purchase each pencil, pen, graphite pencil, watercolors individually? Last question (VERY IMPORTANT) did they supply SCHOLAR OR PREMIER pencils?
wondered about this as well...caught a glimpse of a pencil...does not say Berol or Mexico...look like scholar
You can see Premier on the pencil barrel.
I expect to see duplicates from nature to animal boxes but it seems a bit lazy finding duplicates in the same series of boxes! I am disappointed that the pencil rolls are insufficient for all of the pencils if you buy all the sets in the series. I am glad that you are excited for the boxes and I will be looking to see if you can create the art mentioned on the boxes! I am curious about how well you are able to follow along and create even more artworks after you complete the lessons! Watercolor pencils are very difficult to get the hang of and working with the wrong surfaces is inexcusable! You are so correct! Maybe they mixed up the papers in the boxes? Thank you for sharing this with us!
Wasn't it the same paper in all the boxes? Of course, that wouldn't make it the RIGHT paper for all the boxes, but I was thinking it was all the same paper.
Very nice!
Thank You for this video! I saw these a while ago and just kept going as I have a full set of pencils and quite a few backs ups, so it seemed irrelevant to me. The level 3 grid confuses me, unless you have a light table/box they seem useless., but if you have one BIG BONUS (lol I have one) Love that there is a variety of tools, not just pencils and paper and half hazard instructions. I agree, YES, the tone of an instructor is SO KEY... cannot tell you how many I have muted, or not even watched because of it. LOL
Thank you for doing this for us. living in Canada some of the lesson 3s are 50 dollars or so. I think the level 1's would be good to have when traveling. You would have all the colors you need . you could do it on their paper and then use your own paper at home.
I am glad i watched this before I went out and purchased them. I pucked up the portrait one on clearance at a big box store....it made it more difficult than it needed to be(the instruction videos)
