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

Quality product

Ive only used these once to paint my daughters face, but she LOVED it. So easy, and they are such high quality.

Love these! I like to use them as face paints- I remember another mother shared them with mine over 30 years ago... Totally water soluble and I have never encountered any skin irritation or left-behind dyes. Great for Halloween or maybe even theater make-up.

You just cant go wrong with these and how versatile they are! Important tip!! - When you go to sharpen these, save your shavings! I have a 14 compartment pill organizer for now that I use to save mine in. I simply (and carefully) hold my Neo II over one of the compartments and sharpen using a small metal sharpener that doesnt have any enclosure around it, kind of like ones youd use for makeup eyeliner pencils, then sharpen away and the shavings fall into the compartment. Im sure theres WAY easier ways to do this lol but for now this is my method. Then I just add a bit of water, mix it around a bit, and shut the lid of the compartment. Eventually over time as you continue to do something like this, youll pretty much have your own Neocolor II paint palette you can use and paint with!

I’m in love with these, so happy I bought them. You just color in like a crayon then come in with a wet brush and it immediately dissolves into water color. Or I’ve been experimenting with water down with paint and the colors blend right in, kind of cool.

Oh my goodness these are well worth the money. They go on creamy smooth and activate with water so nicely. The colors are rich and vibrant and add a whole new dimension to my watercolor paintings. Also great for quick sketches on the fly. I dont know how I lived without them. I would highly recommend these to anyone learning watercolors. Or anyone who loves art Just give them a try,

These are so easy to use. They are a very good value for the money and I would absolutely say go for it if youre thinking of trying these. I had other water soluble crayons and when I started to use these, I could immediately see and feel the difference in them. They are now my go to for background coloring in my adult color books. The pigments are so vivid and bright and the application is smooth and even feeling. You can do light build up doiflng layers or put down a good heavy amount and get that super pigmented look. I also scribble a little on my caran darch pallet for crayons and water based pencil mixing and then I pick it up with my water brush and it works wonderfully. Theres so many good things about these crayons. They are beautiful also. Good selection of colors for any project and amazing potential. Im so glad that I went ahead and spent the extra to try these crayon out. I am more than satisfied and wish I had even more of them now. ❤ you wont be disappointed. And if you dont push too hard when using for background colors, the lines will completely dispense and disappear and you cant see any of them they will blend seamlessly

Needed these for my daughters art class. Upon opening the box, we noticed one was broken. Not sure if this left the manufacturer like this, or happened when the delivery driver tossed in onto my front porch...

Years ago I attended a Renaissance festival where these paints were used to make stunning face designs. The paint adheres beautifully and washes off instantly with no stains left in the skin. Whether you used these for artwork or something else, you wont be disappointed in this top quality product.

Excellent span of colors-84.
