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

Caran dAche watercolor crayons are a wonderful, deeply pigmented crayon and just as advertised. Great range of color in this collection.

These crayons may appeal to children as well as artists. The colors are brilliant and even safe for face painting--great for an entire painting or just for accents as the pigments are very strong. I love the colors and they may also be used with water for watercolor work. I used them on hot press (smooth) paper, but am also going to try them on standard cold press for accents and more saturation.

These things are really cool. Theyre hard for me to use with precision but I love using them for backgrounds in watercolor portraits or landscapes. Or for your underpanting in something. Why I like most about them is that the line of pigment that is laid down can completely be rubbed out by a brush. You cant tell where it was originally laid down! Its amazing. That being said though, the pigment doesnt lift very well, at least mine didnt, and they are small, the actual size of a cartilage crayon. I wish they would have made them thicker or maybe longer

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.

These are wonderful and water soluble. You wont be able to mark over them very easily though as they are waxy. They will last you a long time.

Crayons are smooth and blends very nicely on most paper mediums.

Love these water colors. You won’t be disappointed.

These are so much fun and many pretty colors. My big mistake was to not get the size with even more colors

I was looking for these watercolor crayons, but the price was pretty steep at the online art sites. My desire and meed for these colors was reachable due to the Amazon pricing PLUS a $20 reduction by opening an Amazon card account...I am very pleased.

they work well on watercolor cards, smudge beautifully with a wet finger giving a terrific variety of washes and waxy intensities. Integrate well in mixed media pieces especially with markers and ink.
