The quality of Neocolor II Aquarelle Artists’ Crayons is universally acknowledged. Their excellent lightfastness, high pigment concentration, and adaptability to a variety of techniques have put them in a class of their own.

Neocolor II Crayons are softer than colored pencils, denser than children’s wax crayons, and extremely responsive to a wet brush. Wet and dry techniques can be combined in the same drawing. Because of their strong pigmentation, light colors cover dark colors and vice-versa.

Neocolors are soft enough to smudge with your fingertips, yet much firmer than oil pastels. Scrape off one or more layers of color to create an engraved sgraffito effect. They can also be combined with Caran d’Ache Pablo Colored Pencils. Best of all, they’re watersoluble.

Individual Neocolor II Crayons measure 105 mm long × 10 mm diameter (4-1/8" × 5/16").

Wood Box Set of 84 — Housed in a beautiful, elegant wood box, this set makes a great gift for professional and amateur artists alike. It includes the same colors as the Set of 84.

Gift Set of 126 — A favorite of artists, illustrators, and students, Caran d’Ache’s 126-piece set includes 42 new Neocolor II colors, including 10 shimmering metallics. This huge set also includes a stippling brush, two sponge pads, a sharpener, and a Technalo HB pencil.

Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Good texture and lays down color perfectly. Colors are opaque enough to be able to cover yet blend well with water.

Nice product but beware!

By Painter in Paradise

from USA

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons:

Neocolors are fun to use but beware that a great many of the colors utilize known fugitive (fading) pigments such as PY1, PY13, PG8, PO13, PR3, PR4, PR48, and others. Because of the lightfastness issues, I am very careful which colors I buy and never use the non-lightfast colors in any artwork I plan to sell. If you care about your artwork and don't want it to deteriorate, I urge you to reseach the pigments of the colors you want before you buy! I would LOVE to see this company replace the fading pigments with lightfast ones.

These water-soluble wax crayons are pretty rich and smooth. I've used other brands, but these are definitely far superior. I highly recommend them.

The Best out there!

By FireWombman

from Prescott, AZ

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons:

I use these with mixed media and in everyway imaginable. My favorite way though is to apply a wet brush directly on the crayon. They have the best coverage of anything on the market. light going over dark makes it virtually impossible to make a mistake, even if your imagination takes you to a different place in midstream. I highly recommend these for anyone beginning or forever playing. They are extremely versatile and FUN!

High quality

Pros

Comments about Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons:

I had the 40 pcs set. Recently, I purchased about 80 individual ones here. I use these to colour my stamped images with goat's hair brushes(nos. 6 & 8). Works like a dream,these are not cheap but they are cheaper on this website than from my local craft store. Make sure to use watercolor papers. Crayons, water for washing brushes, paper towels to clean or dry your brushes, your project, have fun.

I LOve Neocolor II Artist's Crayons

By Fairykate

from Chillicothe, IL

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons:

I love the coverage these crayons give. It's fairly easy to contain the edges of what you are painting with them, but still achieve a watercolor look to it. One must be careful because the crayons do tend to melt just a wee bit onto your hands, but what's art if it doesn't get a little messy. I LOVE these things!

Wonderful Colors!

By Dr. M.

from Pittsburgh, PA

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons:

I tried using them in three ways 1)Dry like a crayon, 2) Laid down dry, then brushed with a wet brush, 3) Dipping the stick in water, then applying to paper. My favorite was #3. I got a much better coverage and color intensity. There was a disadvantage in using them dry like a crayon. They didn't have much color intensity, and, on watercolor paper, the coverage had lots of gaps in it. But, used as I described, the colors were bright and vivid. I also noted that they didn't seem to be rated for lightfastness. I hope they will be lightfast, as I love the beautiful colors.
