Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 15 Colors

These watercolor crayons are of top quality. They are expensive, but there is no way to replace them. I use them every day. They give great results and multimedia work. I do wish I could find a equal product for less money, but I have not been able to do so.

Always will buy these. The color payoff is elite, the things you can do with them are top of the line, the quality is fabulous, and you can use and use and use these; you’re not going to run out. 1000/10 purchase.

I love these water crayons. I'm glad I got the set of 84. The colors are beautiful, bright, and creamy. They dissolve and mix well. All you need with them is paper and waterbrushes to make it easy to travel with them. They apply smooth. It doesn't take a lot as they cover well, so I think they will last for a while. The colors used more can be replaced individually, so you don't have to buy the whole set again! I bought a cheaper brand they are ok, but theses are the best. I will buy the singles to replace as I need them. I recommend these.

Such rich colors, and such a great range of colors. Scrumptious really. They add so much to my art work. I recommend using a light touch of water with a brush after drawing; too much water muddies the color.

Trying these for the first time and love them. Not an artist - just a hobbyist - but these are a great addition to my growing art supplies. They blend beautifully with and without water.

I had been wanting to try the neocolor II water soluble wax pastels for years now and decided to finally try them. I saved up and got the largest set because I knew if I got the smaller one I’d regret not getting the largest. And I’m so glad I did. These are so fun to work with. Incredibly pigmented and very easy to melt down with water. I really like using them for larger areas but they work just as well for small details as well. As with all caran d’Ache products, these are incredibly high quality and a joy to work with.If you’re great at color mixing, you probably don’t need the full set. But if you like having convenience colors and have the extra money to spend, I’d get the larger sets. I also have the caran d’Ache mixing palette which has a textured side that you can rub the pastels down onto and then add water and use like traditional watercolors. I really enjoy using them that way as well as putting them down on paper and adding water. Highly recommend if you aren’t a traditional crayon or pastel user but you want to add them into your art supply rotation.

El producto es divino. Sumamente cremosos los pasteles y se acuarelan divinos. Los colores preciosos.Lo único que los controles de calidad de Carand'Ache brillan por su ausencia... La Caja de 84 NO TIENE COLOR NEGRO porque vino duplicado el Nº 209 el Charcoal Grey.Me encanta la marca por la cremosidad y calidad de los colores... pero en cuanto a controles de calidad no he tenido buena experiencia.

I came across some of these in an art class and thought I would give them a try myself at home. They are vibrant and fun to work with.
