Question

Tell me if u know ny affordable paints,=)

Answer 1

Psst, it is Faber Castell They don't have a castle yet :)
http://www.faber-castell.us/
And I only know Marie's from this:
http://www.mariesdressings.com/
I know it is a art supply producer, just never used it.

* On crayons*
There is no real best they are all good but differ in the way they act. Softer, harder, Mix well, stay beside each other when mixed. I even have some Chinese 'crap' that I love to use. It melts in my hand when I use it but has some lovely effects on paper.

You need to test what you like best... or even use them all to a specific purpose.

* On paint
I use Sytem 3 http://www.daler-rowney.com/prod_catalogue/disp_Products.asp?category=4&brand=24
It's cheap, good and lasting. Love the stuff.

Answer 2

I've always used Crayola crayons and Faber-Castell pencils (but not the other way around), and lately I bought some Marie's acrylic paints for my son, since they're pretty cheap compared to others (at least over here in Italy); he seems to be happy with them. Come to think of it, I did buy Crayola colored pencils for my kids once, hoping they'd be similar to Prismacolor, but was disappointed (they're harder).

But I can't help you with a real comparison, because I haven't used one identical single product produced by all three companies.

Answer 3

Hi,

Faber has student grade and artistic grade materials.
The artistic grade ones are quite good. Their pastel pencils (Pitt) are among the best in the world.
I've never used Crayola and although it may be connected to student grade material, there was an artist known as Mr. Crayola who did some amazing stuff with them. Well, when one is good, one is good.
Anyway, from the mentioned brands, Faber has more reputation.

Kind regards,

José
