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

Neocolor II wax pastels are wonderful for mixed media painting--I use them religiously in my Acrylic Paintings...I have noted many people say they use them with their kids for face painting. I have copied this from the manufactures website: WARNING - Neocolor II is not recommended for application on human skin, it should not be used as for children’s cosmetics.

I used these on cloth for an art quilt project. They seemed to spread easily on the white fabric and when wet with textile medium, the color was fantastic. The only problem with these are getting detail because of the crayon tips. You can shave them and liquify them with water or another wetting agent. I think they would be great for pastel drawings that require bright color. Not very subtle, but you can use light pressure. You wont know what youre getting until they are wetted, so I would suggest testing for color first.

Awesome for face painting. Just dip in water and away you go. I love the range of colors also. Yay

Quality product

Really like the concept of water color crayon, but it takes a lot of practice to blend these well. Not as easy as watercolors or watercolor markers.

Arrived damaged. 3 Neocolors were broken. Tin bent and does not close. But the deal was so good on this set, I can live with the beat up tin and broken crayons. They retail for twice what I paid, so I didnt expect them to arrive in 100% pristine condition. You get what you pay for. These are still 100% completely usable and still do what they are meant to do. I like a bargain, so I am still happy with my set.

I am just loving this set! The quality is topnotch. Can’t say anything bad about it. Expensive but worth it.

I never tried anything like these. I do mixed-media art. Love to add lines in my work and these can also be used with a little water on my brush to make a wash. VERY PLEASED with this product. Highly recommend!

Perfect for my 5 yr old son - you dont have to press hard and he gained confidence drawing and coloring. Beautiful colors and feel.

This product is a savings for me! I have been using copics for 1/2 a year already. Now I find that water colour crayons are even better. The price is reasonable and the crayons can last longer. My friend has a set which is already 5 years old and is still looking good. Thats why I decided to switch to Caran crayons.
