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

I use these with pastels and Inktense inks on Pastelmat. Fabulous.

This is the second set that I bought of these. I got the 30 set from the UK for Less seller and Ive used those for a year, but just had to have a wider range of colors. This set arrived in beautiful condition. I placed order on May 6th and they arrived on May 22nd, so not too bad for shipment from the UK to the US. Both sets I received were in excellent condition. The pigment is wonderful on these. They flow smoothly and the texture is very creamy. I recommend them to all the artists that I know.

These are really quite amazing. I bought the set of 84 and the beautiful range of colors are outstanding. It took a little practice to get accustom to the technique of using them. They blend pretty well when you continue to work with water. Only small complaint is that the coloring marks show even after water blending. This issue only applies to watercolor paper so far as I have not had the chance to try on a smoother surface. But the vibrancy of the color when you apply additional layers of crayon is so gorgeous. I am very happy I have them and definitely recommend for mixed media artists.

Love the crayons, but if youre gonna order them from somewhere, tred with caution buying them from amazon as all of my tips were broken in the package. These crayons melt like butter when adding water. I love the ultra creamy consistency and they do rival my beloved gellatos.

Really was looking forward to these as an extra tool for my acrylic and watercolor work, but so many arrived broken! Bummed but for the price, will be returning.

These crayons are awesome for a great price from an amazing seller. Arrived in perfect condition well packaged. I love them and use them all the time. Willowing@ning teaches great lessons on how to use them. The best product for great mixed media too.

These are perfect for sketching. They are slick, creamy and easy to use. You have a lot of control over how much line you wish to leave in the drawing. The wax pastel washes more easily than other watersoluable media I have used.

Caveat: This review is from a quilter who likes to play with different media; from not a painter or sketcher. You dont need to use a lot of crayon to get a lot of pigment. Ive used these on paper and on fabric with much success. My favourite method for controlling the blending of colours is to scribble two or more crayons on a piece of mylar, overlapping them or in close proximity, and apply a wet brush. So easy. Since crayons get used up (unlike dolls and cars), I only gave 4 stars for durability. Yes these may seem expensive, but they go far.

Creamy nice colors good mark making and water soluble.

These crayons are perfect and warwe soluble. I love them in my adult coloring books. Perfect!! Im addicted to these crayons!!!
