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

I love the quality and variety of this set. These crayons are fun and easy to use. They do tend to break rather easily where the paper covering is perforated. I suppose they perforate the paper to make it easier to tear off neatly? Anyway, I just taped them back together with a single layer of tape and they worked fine. Ill deal with the tape when I get to it...shouldnt be a problem....

This is one of my favorite watercolor crayon sets that I use for art journaling. It never clumps and it perfect for mixed media. The colors are luminous and blend well when using a blending technique. I highly recommend!

nice pastels!

Beautiful colors, bright and easy to blend. Love these crayons. Great for adults!

I loved the variety of color, ease of use and trueness of the colors. Glad I chose these. Thanks to others for their helpful reviews!

Best of the best!

Love, love love!

Interesting. Disappointed that there is no black, grays or browns.

I love these. They have been my favorite for years. As you probably know by now, they can be used like a regular crayon (but with much nicer and more intense colors.) But what makes them kind of pricey but justifies the price, they are water-soluble. They can be used dry and then gone over with a damp brush, which makes a lovely effect - actually much more intense and beautiful that the dry color. Or you can dip the tip directly into water and then draw with them (for short distances). Or, you can rub a wet paintbrush against the tip or side of the crayon and voila! You have watercolor on your brush! So they are very versatile as well as having lovely clear colors. The 5 stars is for the wet-usage. The dry usage I would only give them a 4. (Because theyre not as intensely pretty when dry). I suggest traveling with them and carrying one of those travel brushes whose handle fills with water.

Everything I wanted in a crayon and more. If youve never used them at least buy a couple and play! Just delightful. Yummy yummy for those who love to draw paint doodle decorate enhance!!! Let your imagination loose. Caran dAche is for you.
