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

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

I like the watercolor effects that can be created when using these paint sticks. Great for detail and broad expressions. Highly recommend.

These pastels are the most fun art tool I have gotten my hands on. I love that you can dip them into water then stroke them over the canvas for a rich watery effect, dry for a rough traditional pastel look, or you can also spray it once it has been laid on the canvas and rework it. I love using them to sketch out my composition then go in with acrylics and they melt into the acrylic creating wonderful shaded edges. Most fun you can have with a crayon! One thing I do find though is they seem to take a bit to get them going. Like they have a coating on them.

I love using these crayons. I am not a professional so I have no expectations or experience to compare to but the colors are beautiful and I am having a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

I saw someone use these on a YouTube video. It looked fun so I bought a set. Im a crafty person with no artist training so I was very happy to discover how much fun they are to use. Colors apply smoothly and are very vibrant. I also bought a set of water filled brushes to use with them. I couldnt be happier with this purchase.

They are wonderful but not all of the crayons in the set are light fast. That is a huge problem if you sell you art work

These are incredible. I bought them for a class, but Im hooked on what a great medium this is! So many ways to use them.

The set was more then I expected. I used them for mixed media arts and like how they are working out so far.

I wanted these crayons so badly and when it came time to need them for a project I splurged and bought them. How can you go wrong with top of the line mediums. The colors are vibrant and full of pigment. You can adjust the intensity of the color with how much water you use. Also there are many different ways to use these crayons. Just check YouTube. I’m really happy with these and I’m glad to have them included in my art supplies.

Love this product!! 1st used in art class, had to finish my work at home. Found these, they are a bit pricey,but I did not want a mixed medium project. They are a great medium to work with!! If you are a painter who likes a little control, these are worth the investment!
