Water Soluble Artist Crayons


Not to be confused with a child's crayon, an artist crayon is quite different from the waxy, paper-covered sticks used by budding artists to create their first masterpieces. Employed by students and experienced artists to create more advanced, complex works of art, artist crayons also take the form of wax combined with pigment and formed into a stick, but they are made of higher-quality materials and are often used along with other art media for drawing, writing, or mixed media work.


Water soluble crayons have special qualities that make them a good choice for both drawing and painting on paper, canvas, wood, and other surfaces. Blick offers a wide variety of water soluble crayons that can be used either dry or wet, plus gel sticks that go on wet and can be blended, brushed over with a wet paintbrush, spritzed with water, or dissolved to create watercolor effects. Find exciting variations such as Distress crayons by Ranger Tim Holtz, Gelatos gel sticks from Faber-Castell, Caran D'Ache Neocolor artist crayons in metallic colors, and versatile sets that combine artist crayons with other art materials for your mixed media adventures.
