Caran dAche Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 15 Colors

I bought these for plein air painting & sketching. They worked a treat on a recent San Francisco trip. They are very nicely water soluble, melting and spreading easily without the need to soak the paper. I was a bit concerned about their thinness, but they are quite sturdy so far. If I get more detailed then sketching, I will need more colors than the 15, Im thinking. A variety of blues, greens, and browns would be a welcome addition on my next trip to Dick Blicks open stock bins.

These things are amazing. The colors practically jump off the page. I have to remember when using them that sometimes a lighter hand is necessary to get the right effect.

Love these! I cant wait to add to my colors. Easy to use and fun. What more can I say. Get them when you can. I see they are currently out of this particular set.

My tin was bent and over a third of the crayons were broken. Good thing it was not purchased as a gift. Disappointed as they were not inexpensive.

I saw someone use these on a YouTube video. It looked fun so I bought a set. Im a crafty person with no artist training so I was very happy to discover how much fun they are to use. Colors apply smoothly and are very vibrant. I also bought a set of water filled brushes to use with them. I couldnt be happier with this purchase.

Easy to use and good coloring.

These are so much fun to use. I just needed to replenish my supply.

I bought these for my kids, and they love them. The only thing I disliked about the product was the high price.

I love these crayons, very nice to use. The only problem is that 4 of the crayons came broken in half. And a couple others also feel like they are broken under the seal. Not too bad since I can just tape them for now, but it definitely annoys me from time to time, and I think the tape can come to be a problem in the future once I have to peel the seal to get more of the crayon.

Really fantastic watercolor crayons. Smoother application that watercolor pencils.
