Metallic Gel Sticks 6ct

The Faber Castell gell sticks are amazing. The colors are so bright and the sticks are easy for my hands to hold. I enjoy painting and these gel sticks make it a lot easier. I really like the fact that you can draw on canvas and then add a spritz of water to get a water color effect. My daughter enjoys stamping and she has found that these gel sticks are great for stamps as well. Just rub the get stick on the stamp and spritz with water to get the stamp effect. This is a great new product for me, My only caution is that when you do draw, be careful not to rub the picture. These gel sticks are like pastels and will rub off if you are not careful.

This impressive set of gel sticks boasts rich and vibrant colors. They go on creamy-smooth, and you can apply water for a watercolor effect. I’m getting started in Bible journaling, and there are lots of artists using these to create veritable masterpieces of art in their Bibles. I am far from being an artist, but I feel like one while using these “Gelatos.” They indulge my creative bent!

LOVE THESE! These are amazing; you can watercolor with them, and use dry and blend them like pastels. The consistency is a little harder than lipstick. They blend beautifully! I use them to color in stamped images, and for artwork and to add shimmer on top of markered images. I even combined these with water and put them in Tim Holtz/Ranger Mini Mister bottles and made my own shimmery mists in the colors I wanted. Similar mists are $5 and up each! There are many tutorials on YouTube if you want more information. These have become so popular with crafters I could not find them for a good price anywhere else except Amazon. This is not considered artist grade but I think they are good enough and are wonderful.I recommend you also buy the 12 count non - metallic gel sticks.

I looked into buying Gelatos from Michaels Art store. They were $10.00 for three Gelatos and not the colors I wanted. The faber gel crayons work exactly the same. I did get to practice with the Gelatos at a free Michaels class. They are great for mixed media art or anyone who likes to use oil pastels but they are water soluble but dry to a permanent finish. They can be blended with fingers or paint brushes and stick to a variety of surfaces - wood, fabric, glazed surfaces. The colors are true. They are defintely worth the price.

I've had fun with these gel sticks and like the way they mix with other materials. Adding them overtop to give highlight and brighten an image or a swath of color over a layout, they're a nice size and easy to handle. The metallic isn't overly noticeable, rather subtle. Nice colors, ones that blend well and complement.

My Kindergartener began using these gel sticks on watercolor paper as if they were crayons. She drew a picture and then carefully went over each section in water, rinsing the brush in between colors. The result was a really gorgeous painting she gave to a close friend of the family. I'm blown away by the professional results she achieved at such a young age. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future to encourage her artistic tendencies and would recommend this product to anyone with a child who shows an aptitude toward art. It's a small investment that might yield incredible results.

Faber castell has recently introduced gelatos, and are marketing them to artists and paper crafters. They bundle four of them for $10 - this is exactly the same product, but marketed to kids, I guess. If you like watercolor pencils or crayons, you will love these, and they are different. The colors are vibrant, and the application is creamy. They react wonderfully with water, and blend easily. You can color them on wetted stamps and stamp, use them with stencils, direct to paper, or use them with a brush. If you like water colors, give them a try. The metallic gel sticks are also fabulous.

These are so cool... I resisted jumping on the gelato/gel stick bandwagon for too long! These are lots of fun- I love the texture and how they blend so well dry with my finger or a tool or wet with a paintbrush. This package gives you some great colors to start creating with, and I think it's a pretty good price for what you get. These are sort of like a really soft blendable oil pastel, but better! I can't see any negatives about this purchase right now, it even came really fast in the mail!

Beautiful crayons. I love them very much and I use them regularly.

I know these are made for kids not like the Gelatos that Faber Castell make too. These are a very good replacement for those gelatos which are very highly priced. Ive used these with gelatos and cannot honestly see a difference in the use of. The only difference is they are not permanent as the gelatos are. They need a sealant if your going to preserve your craft work. I can say they are amazingly soft and easy to use. They blend beautifully with Caran Dache Neo watercolour crayons, Inktense block colours and other gel type crayons. The colours work with fingers to blend, sponges and a hint of water, brushes and all kinds of possibilities are endless. I love them and they are just part of my stash of gelatos without worrying what quality I have. Perfect if your budget is running a little low after buying EVERYTHING you need to create mixed media art.

Love them!

Très satisfaite de ce produit , texture très agréable à travailler et beau rendu sur du papier embossé . Ce produit équivaut les gelatos de la même marque et sont beaucoup moins chers .

Purchased this item to use for mixed media work. I have used the sticks for colouring embossed backgrounds for cards. They give really good results and are very simple to use. Haven't used them for mixed media yet but don't think they will disappoint. Very creamy consistency and easily blendable. Would recommend to anyone in the art and craft world.
