Caran d'AcheClassic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 30 Colors

Love these art crayons! I work with watermedia paintings and these crayons are so beautiful and can be used on layered paintings and offer great colors.

Splurged and bought a set. They are so fun and love the colors. Made some paint and did all kinds of experiments. Definitely a good addition to all my paint stuff. As advertised and fast shipping.

I really love how versatile this product is, you can apply it directly onto the watercolor paper or in a separate surface to then apply water, they are soft, colorful and easy to blend.

They are expensive (for me) but it’s a quality product. I’ve tried other water soluble crayons but none have matched the vibrancy and color payload of the Neocolor II.If you get these, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

I loove these so much. They have beautiful vibrant colors and a smooth feel. They bring me back to childhood coloring with crayons. I use them with my art therapy clients and everyone always loves them. I also utilize them in my fine art and they work on canvas and over the top of paint as well. They also blend really lovely with water. I originally bought the smaller set but I loved them so much that I bought the largest one. Very Happy.

The product itself its wonderful, I just didn't like that the carrying tin was horribly dented. The material is actually very very strong, makes me wonder how this happened but it's not as easy to maintain closed which makes traveling with it slightly inconvenient.

I love my other Caran D'ache supplies but have never tried pastels. I do love watercolor pencils, so I wanted to try them. They are so much fun!They are like the smoothest crayon you can imagine. They are so silky smooth that it feels like they could draw on your skin (but they don't).My favorite way to use them is with this palette, also by Caran D'ache. One side is textured so you can color on it with the pastels and use a water brush to paint with them. (You can use it with your wc pencils also).They dissolve well in water. They are slightly more opaquethan wc pencils, but still mostly translucent. Using the palette allows you to get every single bit of use out of them since you don't have to sharpen. They blend well. The tactile experience is really good! A tiny bit goes a long way also.I'm only using them for coloring books at the moment, and they are brilliant!I was able to get a "used, like new" set from the warehouse. The box was a bit dented and a few colors had been tested but nothing beyond that (they met my expectations perfectly). The advantage of getting a warehouse set, besides price, was that they were already here in The States, so it was very fast shipping. I am extremely happy with my purchase.(I'm not sure why folks struggled to find the second tray of colors and thought they were cheated with the wrong package. But I guess that is a thing so be sure to pull up the top tray to find the one below it )

This is a good size set of 84 different colors. I swatched them as soon as I received my set. The colors are bright and vibrant. I made thick swatches to see how deep the vibrancy goes. I used a nylon water brush with water and a wet towelette to wipe the color. The colors cleaned up easily and left nothing on my fingers. Some colors really pop on the the paper. I used 140 lb cold press watercolor paper which has a distinct tooth I see as I lay down color. Trying to pick my favorite colors was difficult since I like just about all of them. I was impressed by the three metallic crayons. They really do look metallic. Bronze is particularly pretty. I believe that the colors we receive depends on when and where these are ordered. There are some sets that have a different color set, but the ones coming from Blick contain the following colors listed after my review. Blick also has loose stock for reordering. If they weren't so bulky to transport, these might easily have taken the place of my pencils. The tin is nice and sturdy, but heavy. I like the metal tray that holds the first plastic tray. The flimsy plastic tray is no good by itself. Overall, I am impressed by the quality and creaminess of the crayons. I do wish I could get all 126 colors.001 White002 Silver Gray003 Light Gray005 Gray007 Dark Gray008 Grayish Black009 Black010 Yellow011 Pale Yellow020 Golden Yellow028 Toledo Brown030 Orange031 Orangish Yellow033 Golden Ochre035 Ochre036 Raw Sienna039 Olive Brown041 Apricot042 Flesh045 Vandycke Brown049 Raw Umber050 Flame Red051 Salmon052 Saffron055 Cinnamon059 Brown060 Vermilion063 English Red065 Russet069 Burnt Sienna070 Scarlet071 Salmon Pink080 Carmine081 Pink090 Purple099 Aubergine100 Purple Violet110 Lilac111 Mauve120 Violet130 Royal Blue131 Periwinkle Blue139 Indigo Blue140 Ultramarine141 Sky Blue149 Night Blue150 Sapphire Blue159 Prussian Blue160 Cobalt Blue161 Light Blue171 Turquoise Blue180 Malachite Green190 Greenish Blue191 Turquoise Green201 Veronese Green210 Emerald Green211 Jade Green212 Chromium Oxide Green220 Grass Green225 Moss Green229 Dark Green230 Yellow Green231 Lime Green240 Lemon Yellow245 Light Olive249 Olive250 Canary Yellow260 Blue280 Ruby Red300 Fast Orange403 Beige407 Sepia409 Charcoal Gray497 Bronze498 Metallic Silver499 Gold508 Payne’s Grey521 Sahara Yellow560 Light Cadmium Red589 Crimson Alizarin661 Light Cobalt Blue710 Phthalocyanine Green720 Bright Green730 Chinese Green

Layering is fantastic- these crayons are buttery soft. Wish I had bought them sooner. Highly pigmented and easy to blend.

Many YouTube artists recommend these pastel crayons. They are high quality and now I (although not a YouTube artist) highly recommend them.

These pastels are luxuriously creamy, have no dust, no strong odors and are wonderfully pigmented. Im glad I got the 30 set, because the colour selection is fantastic. My only nitpick is that they lift after 3 or 4 layers, but thats really small in the grand scheme. I was also surprised that I could get fine lines with them for fur texturing, I figured with how creamy they felt that thin lines would be impossible, but nope, nice fine lines. I previously tried the mungyo aquarelle, and these are vastly better, as well as being completely non toxic. If you're looking for water soluble pastels, treat yourself and get these, you won't be sorry

Demorou, mas como é importado o prazo acaba sendo esse mesmo. Mas o produto é maravilhoso!!

Perfettamente acquerellabili, colori stupendi. Pagati poco meno di 120 € e sono valsi la spesa.
