Review: crayons Marco Renoir

This is actually the product of the same company, but this time with a more professional / artistic line. For those who have not read about Marco Raffine - a few words about the same manufacturer: The company has been in existence since 1992 and has its headquarters in Shanghai. Its products use ingredients from Japan and USA and its products meet the safety standards of toys. Do not worry so that you will get any suspicious radioactive substances.

Crayons I ordered from Aliexpress, where you will also find many other series from Marco (including in addition to those previously discussed Raffine, for example, watercolor crayons, and also available various packaging: cardboard and metal). The description at the auction did not say much, except that the crayons have an oil base (like Faber Castell Polychromos). I was tempted to buy because of the previous set (Marco Raffine) I am very happy and I think that for its price is exceptionally good quality. Renoir is available in an even greater color palette - up to 100 - and their graphs are 3.7mm thick, which is what other fine art crayons do.

At first contact with the crayons eyes enjoy a box with beautiful graphics at the age and in the middle, the size and shape reminiscent of a can of FC Polychromos. Inside, there are three plastic palettes with finger indentations to help them pull. I still think that the best and most practical solution is the loops of a string or elastic band, but here the discs are pulled out without much difficulty, so I have no reason to complain. At the highest level, apart from crayons, we also find two sharpeners, which I have to boast, because they proved more than decent in my work. The crayons themselves are quite exclusive - smooth wood covered with transparent lacquer with colorful tips and red "bands" (if I understand correctly, it is a distinguishing mark from watercolors that have blue stripes).
