How to Organize Prismacolor Pencils [Best Color Order]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2020
- I am frequently asked how to organize Prismacolor pencils. Do I organize them based on the color order found on the box of the Prismacolor Premier 150 Colored Pencil set? Or do I have my own Prismacolor order system? Well, as you can probably guess, I have my own system that I am happy to share with you.
I find that organizing my Prismacolor pencils helps me not only find the colors I am looking for more quickly, but I also get more use out of them.
Is my order the best way to organize Prismacolor pencils? For me, yes. But you may like something different. So watch the video to see if you would like to organize your Prismacolor colored pencils the same way I do.

I love your cheery tone and attitude, I had an accident and am blind in one eye and can barely see out of 2nd eye, however with your rule of thirds & other techniques I am able to color at least sitting healing, thank you so much for making these videos, they are as good as the actual coloring oh, well not quite but you've taught me a lot LOL
So sorry to hear about your accident. I am so honored to hear that I have helped you in some small way. I hope you have a lovely day 🥰
I know I am very late but I have been blind in my left eye since birth due to having glaucoma so I feel u bestie❤️
@@charlottebell08 RUclips still notifies us of replies! Yes, it's tough ha, but thankful I'm not 100% blind.
@@BELLE_MYMAIL1 I guess that is lucky
I laughed out loud when you referred to your husband's being your bag/trunk/carry-on pack horse as his, "lot in life." You two seem to make a great team!
I'm so glad to find someone who loves Prismacolor as much as I do.
I would love to see how you organize your other pencils. Would you consider coming up with a book that would show not only the three pencils within the same color family that blend together but other color combinations? I know not only myself but a ton of other people are always looking for color combinations in their coloring. This would be great!!!
Hi Lisa
I have a set of 48 from when I was in college. They were and are my babies, lol. I saved up for them and was so happy when I got them. I can’t imagine managing that many pencils though, that’s a lot of colors....
I would love to see your other organization ideas.
Hi Julie
Jennifer, you are such a delight to watch and the information you have for us is invaluable! I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and am so happy I did. I am also in awe of your ‘Tri-Tone Blends’ series of worksheets and am in possession of the Tombow one. Looks like i’ll be needing the Prismacolor Premier one LOL Let me be the 3rd to request a Polychromos video 😁 Love from Canada ❤️ Hugs to Rosie
I am new to all of this. You are teaching me so much at my 50 year young age and I am enjoying your blessed gift of drawing and putting colors together. You led me to purchase my first set of markers (Blick Studio Brush), I have my Blick colored pencils in my shopping cart and just purchased your Book. Thank you so very much for passing on your knowledge.
WOW! My first box of these just arrived, your timing is fantastic 😉. I already printed out your swatch chart. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do to help our coloring experience be more enjoyable!
Yay!!! So glad I could help. Have fun swatching and organizing.
Thank you for showing how simple it is to organize our pencils into "color sets" and this video is easy to follow along with also.
I would like to see other organizing videos.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you found this video helpful.
Tuscan Red has been the bain of my existence. Last 3 pencils just were shall we say ugghhh.. so last time I went to hobby lobby I bought 10 of them. Lol love prismacolor pencils
Hi Karen
Thank you for sharing! I love that your paper clips are color coordinated too! 💜
I have an "emergency set" that I take with me everywhere too! True Prismacolor lovers!
Thanks for the excellent video. Have you noticed-over the years-a deterioration in the quality control for Prismacolor pencils since they changed ownership? For example, the colored cores being off-center, etc. I'm excited to watch more of your videos. I love to geek out over art mediums and materials!
And YES!! I Appreciate all You do..Showing HOW too. And doing all the leg work for us..THANKS
It must have taken you years to know how to make all of those tritone combos. I took the time to organize mine by color wheel because I didnt have that chart on the box like yours, but if I had a better system, I would use that instead. Many of the colors in the 150 box of Prismacolor intrigue me but I have no idea what to use them with. I am fascinated with your system!
Hello Susan
They are really really good pencils. They are also my favourite pencils.
Hmmmmmm. You got me thinking. I love coloring with colored pencils the best. And I don’t really have my colored pencils in any kind of organization. When I’m looking for a color scheme I go onto Pinterest and then I kind of go from there. As I’m writing this I’m thinking. Ooooooh boy. So thank you very much LOL
Pinterest is a great way to get color inspiration! So many fun ways to get started on a coloring page and art project. We have a lot of great tools at Coloring Bliss if you decide you want more help.
Love your color combo’s! I have the same cases and just love them. Thanks for sharing!
Hello how are you doing my friend
Thank you for all the work you and Steve do. I just ordered my Tri-Tone books (Prisma Premier and Tombow). I can't wait to start filling them in and learning about the tri-color blends.
What a wonderful giving away!
Hi
I would love to see your FC Polych. Organization system
Hello Mary
I love your organization! Thanks for such a helpful video. Can’t wait to check out your website/books! ❤
They are the best , absolutely no other colors like prismacolor premier, i always back to them as You do.
LOVE the color of your nails! Thanks for the helpful hints!
Thanks 😊. I have a lot of fun with my nails. Thanks for watching.
Thank you So much!! I love them too. MY FAVORITE..And to Hear you THE BEST EXPERT.. Music to my ears.. I'm very interested in how you organized them.. I just had to pop in and THANK YOU!! For Yout TRUTH..Prisma color are The Best!! Hugs..😁🤟🙏
Thank you for all you do! You really make this hobby seem fun and relevant and accessible!
I am really excited. I just got the 150 set. I found this very helpful. Thank you!
I did this with my set of 36 plus using your swatched. Wonderful!
Wow. Great idea. You are a smart cookie.
Little Rose is a star!
Love the new box art
They are my favorite as well ❤️
I have several of those pencil cases…. Love them!
Wow love your organizing. I must try this.
I love these color pencils, I think they are the best.
Great informative video, I would love to see more tips and tricks, I’m new to this hobby and am loving it....just had a nearly month long evacuation from Hurricane Laura Cat 4 and coloring helped keep me as sane and relaxed as possible. We are just getting back and it looks like a war zone. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. We are now all working to repair and get things livable again. I’m subscribed and would love to be put into your drawings. Thank you for being a great teacher. 🌸
Thank you for your color charts. I appreciate your channel.
I'm always up for seeing how you organize any other types of pencils!
Hello
Love ❤️ love your energy and thoroughly explaining how to fix your Prisma premier pencils in a order that makes sense now I just have to find out how to apply to WIN the beautiful set of Prisma premier pencils.
I just got my 24-pc Prisma today! Love them!!
Very exciting! I love my 24 set...it’s very versatile.
Great video for organize pencils,thanks for the tips.
Impossible to resist :p Thank you so much for all your work and dedication :) especially those free swatch charts!
Yes! Thank you!
Love learning better ways to store my Prismacolor pencils as I keep fighting with the metal Tin and trays that it came in!
Thank you, Jennifer! 💜
Love this. I'm new to watching your posts and I love them.
I like your very informative video. I m going to try to do the swatch idea with pencils. Very organized.Thank you.
Hello how are you
Thank you for the wonderfully informative video. I love the way you explain things! I don’t own prismacolors, but I do have polychromos and inktense so I would love to see videos on those. Take care and be well ❤️
Hi Brenda
Thank you for your videos!
I love mine too! This was the first set I purchased. I have since bought Polychromos and Luminance for commission work, but I use my Prismacolor for practice, trying a commission work (blending colors) before I start the piece. They are sensitive. Besides the creamy soft core, they also don't have a protective barrel over the end (could have something to do with why they break(??). I wish they were lightfast...can't really rely on the color lasting on a piece I sell. Such a bummer because their color spectrum is unmatched!
Hello Becky
You are so right about Tuscan red
Ohh WOW A GIVE AWAY!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Hey Jennifer. Thank you for doing this video, it was very helpful. BTW LOVE your nails.
What a terrific idea. I am always thumbing through my box. On my way to Global Arts site! Thanks for sharing❣️
Have fun organizing! I think half the fun of these beautiful tools is organizing them. ❤️😊
Love seeing different organization techniques. I think I'm going to take my second 150 set and pull your tri-blend combos out for a separate case. I'm too set in my ways with how I organize my current set that I can't change it. For my most used pencils, I barely have to look where they are. I just grab. *lol*
I once heard the Verithin pencils being described as being for outlines and detail work, not for general coloring. It's similar to the Derwent Studio pencils where the hardness allows you to get sharp lines/details because the tip doesn't break so easily. My problem is: I forget to use them. Thanks for sharing!
Awe, what a sweet husband, carrying your bag for you. 🥰🥰
Thank you Jennifer! This helps a lot because I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize all my prismacolor pencils. I just bought the 150 set and you’re right the box is way too big. Your nails look gorgeous by the way.
I’m glad I can help you with your new pencils. Have fun organizing and thanks for noticing my nails!
Coloring Bliss I received my order of your sampler paper yesterday, including the watercolor paper. I’m very excited to try it. Sitting down now to color & try the paper for colored pencils.
Right now I'm following you in all the social networks that appears..😊😊😊
They are my fav as well.
Thank you so very much for this information. I thought that I was the only person that organized my prisma colors this way.
Glad I could help! By the way…I’m currently working on even more resources for Prismacolor!! Yay!!
Thanks, Jen!
Pretty polish on your nails!
Thank you for showing us how you organize your colored pencils.
Another awesome video about our favorite brand of pencils. I appreciate all the work you do for us, Jen. Do you have some workshops in the Color Bliss partner groups for using grey pencils? I have found I am not using mine much but I really don't know what to do with them other than shading. I did a mermaid using them recently to practice a technique I saw, laying down the grey and then the color on top that that was fun but I assume there is so much more?
I would love to see other brands poly color pencils etc...
Hi tammie
I will try to do that!
Do any of your pencils end up in more than one spot? So for instance in the tritones and also in the skin tones section? Or is this only your 150 each pencil goes in one spot?
Yes they do! When that happens, I leave the pencil in the group where it gets used the most and then in the other section, I leave a little note to myself so I know where to go find it. Great question!
Smart! I love your system!!
AWESOME!!!!
Wow!, I don't know, I may give it a try!
Good luck! It has made a huge difference for me!!
Love this
Love it it's always good to stay organized 😊
Agreed! It makes creating an art mess so much easier 😂.
I would love to see how you organise your polychromos please! Thank you for your videos!
Maria, you are the second person to request a Polychromos video!! Yay!!
Can't wait to get my hands on those and other things but this pandemic has me broke and stressed out.
These are on my wish list but they are so expensive here in the UK I am so gonna get these when I get back into work
Hi how are you doing my friend
Thank you ! My prisma pencil box has recently broken so those cases might be just the thing I need.
OMG! THANK YOU! 💜😊
Hi Elizabeth
There’s a very good video and thank you for doing this
Hello Brandon
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tuscan Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh geezzzz need I say more!!!!!!! Gives me sooooooo much stress!!!!!
Hi Susan
Awesome
Have you made an on the go bag/kit? You know, for inspiration on the go. I tried putting kids together and I wind up taking either not enough or too many things. what you would take with you? for example at a café. Thank you! Love prismacolor pencils.
Just found your channel. I have a love hate relationship with prisma. I have a older 150 set from 7 years ago. I have several that keep breaking especially the greens and reds. The ones I use the most. They are great for a while then when I go to sharpen mid way they break and break. And then I stop colouring all together,😢 I give up for the frustration. I love sharp points but they don’t stay like that for long. I wish they were unbreakable and always stayed sharp. 😂❤
Thorton has a 150 size case and it’s great quality. I’ve had mine for 5/6 years and it’s still good as new
Hi Jennifer and Steve , I have had a full case with my Black Widows . I organized them in the sets and case is full . Now I ordered a 160 pencil slot case to house the Monarch along with them . I have been wondering if I should put them in sets of 3 or all reds with reds , blue with blues etc ? Just curious how you store yours and what your swatch chart for all 144 Black Widows is like ? Thank you. Hope my question makes sense lol 🖌️🖍️🖼️🕸️🎨🧡💜
Hello how are you doing my friend
Thank you!
Thanks Jennifer
Hi patty
@@krislamore5607 HI Kris! What's up?
@@pattytolliver2651 I’m fine how are you doing, hope you are safe from the virus?
I've been through 5 pumpkin orange pencils in 2 months. I don't have any luck with that one! Lol
Hi Jennifer, love how you store and organise your pencils .. I would love to try the prisma pencils .. hopefully one day I can purchase them .. I have the small set of polychromos which I was bought for my birthday and the small set of inktense too .. I did purchase the castle pencils myself which I was told was good but I’m on the fence just getting back into colouring and I have been binge watching your Chanel to learn more and learn how to blend better and get a more even look … also I don’t know how true it is but I was told if you put your broken pencils in a bit of tin foil and wrap the pencil then put it in the oven for about 10 to 15 mins then take it out and leave on the side for an hour it fixes the broken cores as the heat helps melt them together again … have you heared this or tried this tysmfs sweetie 🥰
The NEONS are fantastic. I use them in my Hawaiian 🌺 piece
I need to make a frequently used pencils section. I have a 160 pencil case I haven’t filled yet. 48 Prismas, 30(?) Polychromos, 23 Prisma scholars, then...crayolas? I don’t have enough pencils to fill the case, lol. Will have sketch/graphite section. Maybe even watercolor pencils section. Who knows.
I find this book to be interesting 👍
Yes! Something must be up with the way the pigment and the binder work together on the Tuscan Red. It’s one of my favorite colors but I’m on like my third pencil since keeps breaking. One time when I put the pencil to the paper it just disintegrated and I wasn’t even pressing hard.
Hi recently started watching your videos and I love how you've sharpened them.What pencil sharpener do you use with your prismacolors?😁
Must just be regular one
I have a question for you I wanna know about it the tools and the the equipment that you taking with you when you traveling , or when you going to stay in a place more than one day ,so what should I take with me ?
and by the way your hair looks gorgeous , beautiful i like the new color on you ♥️🤗
Thank you for your most illuminating way of organising the colours. I have two sets if 150 premier pencils, (I just accidentallysharpened the number end of dark green! Is there any likelihood of a 'set two' for these pencils so that we can buy the rest and thus own the whole set?
Great videos thank you 🙏. My local office supply store had prisma premier on sale for 150 set. So I got them. I was a year into colouring. I only wanted to use water colour at that time. I have broken that fixation with Prisma because it appeared to be a favourite of most colourists and used in most colour alongs and used by almost every RUclips colourist. It has been a year since this video. Do you still like prisma over most of the other brands? As far as I can tell it’s Prisma or the extremely expensive brands.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for this video. This is going to help me get better organized with my Prismacolor pencils. I've recently been gifted a 60 set of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. Do you have a video on how to organize those? Thanks so much. I absolutely adore you.
❤🤗
I haven’t made a stand alone video on organizing Polychromos...yet 😊😂. That’s amazing that you received those beautiful pencils as a gift. Enjoy!!
@@ColoringBliss Thank you for your quick response 🙂❤. I'll keep an eye out if that video comes out. Have a wonderful evening 🙂
In the past I have had a couple Tuscan Reds that were a bit crumbly. The one I have now seems fine.
Do you have a TriTone workbook for the Faber Castell Polychromos? I have both Prismacolor and FC Polychromos. Love the look of that workbook!
Thank you so much for sharing this concept Jennifer! I got really curious about all the skin tones, would you consider providing a list of all the pencils you consider to be a skin tone color?
Hi Debora. I share all the skin tone colors including the charts you see in my case as part of the skin tone workshop I mentioned in the video. It is just one of the many workshops and resources that you get when you become a Bliss Partner on our website. Thanks for watching!
..... did you get the question answered or did you have to buy something? I am only asking because I just asked a question similar to yours on a different video of hers and wondering. Thank you for your time Debora🤗
@@shellyt2906 I googled Prismacolor skin tones and took reference from those sets 🙂
