    I am a teacher and these were recommended by a teacher friend who has been using her set for over 10 years. They are awesome for face painting. Now all the kids know I have them and weve used them for theatrical make up, fake bruising and a Halloween carnival face painting booth. I hope to have them for years to come.

    I like these, but they arent exactly to my liking. Ive gotten a different brand before, and it was easy to use my finger to rub the crayon and get a nice look, but with these you cant rub, you HAVE TO get them wet, and they smear and dissipate of you use more than a touch of water. Theyre high quality, but particular.

    My favourite cara d’ache product. So much more than a water colour crayon for paper. I use wet or dry on fabric and paper - possibilities are endless. A very convenient and go-to Art medium for many projects including beyond illustrations. These are top notch in quality.

    I got these to use with some other water soluble pastels however I prefer these instead. They blend nicely and are highly pigmented. However, of the 15, two of the tips have broken off after initial use. The package did not appear to be damaged at all so not sure if these are just very fragile. They are too expensive if thats going to be an issue. They are fun though - especially if you want to do some quick art without having to set up or clean up.

    I love them. I received these as a gift, along with a set of Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brushes... Ive always loved water colors - but NOT the mess of the pans and pots of water and ... just how unwieldy the whole thing was. The brushes with these crayons - WOW! Now I can take just the brushes (loaded with water), the tin of Neocolors, and maybe a kleenex - and be very mobile and creative! Sometimes I just draw with the Neocolors and use the brushes to watch the colors swirl, other times Ill wet the flat end of the Neocolor - and use the brush to paint from the crayon. These are just luscious!

    These are so much fun. It is the best of multiple worlds, crayons, and watercolor. They are highly versatile and adaptable. From the first time I used them, I felt like a kid again playing and creating.

    These are absolutely amazing. They are smooth and the colors are bright and vivid, and they blend well! Amazon had them for less than I could find anywhere else. I was hoping that because of how pricey they were, that would love them, and I DO!! And unlike other less expensive water soluble or watercolor mediums, these worked great with a water brush. As Ive been art journaling more Ive learned that watercolor is my go to, so I decided they were worth the investment, and they really are worth every penny!!!

    The colors are great, but the color sticks crumble when just touched to paper. Also about 10 of the colors came already crumbled and broken. Now that I have tried using them there are about 15 more that have crumbled, leaving half the stick (which will probably crumble also). The mess is worse than using regular pastels.
