Amazing, high quality art products. Inspiring colors and mediums. Long lasting material and classy papers.

At first it was so exciting to get a Sketchbox every month with new art supplies to try out. I fulfilled the “assignment” every month to get a free item except for one month when the free item was repeated. It was fun at first to learn new techniques. However, as a beginner, I felt that the art subjects in the video and the tutorials were way too difficult for a beginner. I was getting the premium box but I would follow the basic video. Even the basic videos were too difficult for me to follow and the projects in the video were too difficult. So, if you are a beginning artist with simple skill level, don’t do Sketchbox because, in my opinion, and experience it’s not for beginners.

Subscribed thinking I was getting the monthly box, instead sent me a box from the past. Go green by selling boxes cheaper now by exchanging a box for another. Happy

My husband and I bought 8 Basic boxes to use as holiday gifts this year. I opened each of them to check the supplies - all great except one. Contacting Sketchbox was easy - they responded even though it was over the weekend and shipped out replacements on Monday. Amazing customer service! Love their videos too - watched all 8 so I’d know what to expect. I was so impressed that I bought a subscription for myself. Really looking forward to a new year full of artistic fun!

Not happy with quality of art supplies, only received 5 things and one of those was a paint tray, very cheap. Definitely not worth it. I canceled subscription

I ordered a 6 month subscription for my 11 yr old son as his Christmas present, and knowing the box would not get to us in time for Christmas, I also ordered a past premium box so he would have something to open on Christmas morning. Imagine his dismay when we opened our very first ever sketchbox, and we only received half of the supplies that were supposed to be included in the box. Half! You can clearly see the contents that were provided vs the menu card labeled with what we were supposed to receive. We cannot do any of the projects taught in the online tutorial that comes with the premium box! I spent $35 (not to mention shipping costs, bc they do charge you for that too) on 2 markers, a colored pencil and some paper?!?!? I say save your money, and try a different art box. I wish we had! I sent customer service an email and haven't heard anything from them.

I've tried several art box subscriptions. By far, I prefer Sketchbox for the quantity and quality of materials and the video lessons online. I've gotten to try materials I normally don't use (like markers, powdered paint and gouache) and to try various papers as well. The premium box always has top brands but even the basic box is a tremendous value--I've tried both subscriptions. The website is a good resource--you can review past videos, you can see other artists' creations, and past boxes and supplies are also available in the shop. Can't recommend it enough if you love creating art.

My daughter gifted me Sketchboxes when I started painting with acrylics in 2017. Up to that point she was the artist in the family and I was just the mom. Every month I looked forward to the arrival of Sketchbox and my collection of various art mediums grew from Sketchbox art supplies. I am 74 years old and work at my art every day. I've been using colored pencils for the last two years working on portraits of my grandchildren. I've also done numerous colored pencil sketches of animals..from a tree frog to a dog (cats and even a hampster)..Sketchbox company is professional and the staff are helpful. Its easy to subscribe and unsubscribe without being held to ransom by automatic renewal used by so many other companies. I recommend them with five stars.
