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

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.

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.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT AND EASE OF USEAGE IN MY ART WORK

Creamy, water soluble crayons. Nice pigmentation. I tried this small set to use much like pastels, and I like them. They blend well and don't get muddy. Easy to blend with a little water. I will probably get a larger set. These are fun and they go great with watercolors, Brushes and other powdered watercolors, great in mixed media, too! Resist with watercolor resist or other resists that work with watercolors, like oil pastels, wax crayons, etc.These are very nice, well pigmented crayons! These are professional quality.

Put water on it and watch the color flow on to the paper. Plenty neat! I love using them!

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.

Love these little crayons. Super easy to use and last quite a bit.

Love everything about the product (alas, except the steep price, of course, which is competitive in the marketplace :-( The quality of the product is superb! I bought the 30-count box, figuring surely I can easily mix any colors needed beyond that, and I'm happy with that decision. Besides, the size of the metal tin (4.5" x 10.75" x .375 inch) is more convenient for my traveling needs. The crayon colors are rich and varied and working with them is fun. You can generate the full spectrum of intense colors to pale washes. The product shipped in a timely manner and arrived in perfect condition. I'd definitely re-order from this vendor when the time comes.
