- Опубликовано: 10 ноя 2021
- Hey everyone, welcome to my second channel where I'm going to be making art videos in which I test art supplies, show you some of my art work from the last 10 years, walking you through my creative process and trying to improve my own art along the way!
Today I'm testing out the Caran D'Ache Neocolor® II Watersoluble Wax Pastels for the first time and I'm really, really excited to share my swatches, doodles and a completed art piece with you. These look like regular crayons but once you add water, they behave a lot like watercolour paints - they're absolutely fascinating!

Commenting for engagement mostly; I used to watch art channels a lot but I lost interest about a year ago.
I still want to support my favorite creator who helped me escape a cult and by extension saved my life. Love you girl! ❤️
YUHHHHH RACHEL ARTIST ERA!!! WE STAN
Awwwwww, your caterpillar boy is just too cute!
Kyra recognising that crayons aren't food = most intelligent dog I've ever seen. I guess you could take these out without water, lay down the colours dry and then do the brushing at home for extra convenience. Look forward to seeing more on this channel 😊
Watching this was delightful, and the adorable caterpillar brings me joy. Thank you, Rachel.
loving the caterpillar, he is gorgeous 🤍
Ohhh also I agree with you on the colour yellow, it just works well with everything 😅
I enjoyed watching you draw and paint. Looking forward to the next one.
I am already in love with this channel 😍
Rachel's created a channel for art,
You know all sorts of posting will start,
Gratuitous rhymes,
To all beats and times,
Will permeate the charts.
this is so exciting! i’m a fine arts major so these videos will be just perfect to watch and get me inspired when doing my projects
I’m about to get a little pack of these from a friend and I’m so excited to try them!
Also, I’m so glad you made an art channel. 💛💙💚
Ooh I hope you enjoy them! I'd love to see what you end up making :)
So excited for this channel ! I’ve been struggling with a loss of motivation for my art and I’m finding this video v comforting and inspiring
i'm doodling in my diary while watching this, it's very relaxing
I really liked this. Your voice is very soothing
Your art channel is definitely going to blow up, the production quality is really great!
It was so relaxing listening to you while I was painting too 😊 I love your videos, you're so sweet and inteligent and I feel so conected with you even that we don't know each other
Send you hugs and kisses (for you and Kyra) from Argentina 😚
I loved this! This is the art channel I didn’t know I needed! Can’t wait to see more from you. Art is one of my special interests and always has been. Caran D’Ache products are amazing! I work primarily with soft pastels and pastel pencils and the Caran D’ache ones are dreamy. The brand also prides themselves on their lightfastness , so very useful if you are selling your work 🥰
Ive also done art since 4 years but especially during lockdown. I'm so happy for you and I hope you are doing well Rachel. You inspire me a lot!
I bet your art as a 4 year old was epic 🙄
I'm so excited for this new content! ❤️
I’m here and I’m ready! 💜
Totally unrelated, but I love your nails. The green is amazing.
Can't wait for this!!
Rachel, I LOVE this! 💕😍💕💜👏🏻🎉
Love your Caterpillar guy!
I love new mediums. watercolor crayons seems fun. can't wait for your art content 💖
This was a neat demo! Very chill and your art is so cute and charming.
Oooh 😯 I have watercolour pencils and watercolour tablets but never heard of watercolour crayons before…
Caran d’ache makes a plastic board with a slightly rough texture specifically for these crayons. The crayon will scrape off enough to make color to “paint” with. I have added open stock to my collection. you can also dip the brush directly on the tip to “paint “ with. I even like them dry. They layer really well dry. Your caterpillar is great!
Caran D'ache makes a blending palette, but I use a cheap white cutting board from the dollar store. Get one that has a little bit of texture so the crayons rub easily, works k st as well IMO. Neo II are open stock so can add to your collection easily. The Lyra brand of water soluble wax crayons are pretty good, and their colors are slightly different, so they're nice to add to your collection, and they cost less. I love using water soluble wax and oil pastels, and have bought almost every brand available, but the Neocolor II are my favorites by far, in spite of the expense. They last so long that cost per use is very reasonable.
Love seeing your Staffy, I have a Staffy mix grand pup that I adore.
been dreaming of something like this since my preschool days… thank you for making this video!! :)
after wanting these for years now, i ordered a whole starter kit for watercoloring-- the 30 set, some paper, palettes, a lap desk, etc but i figured i can use old makeup brushes to paint with so i didn't bother with more just yet other than some aqua pens/brushes; i hope you've heard of them! they look SO fun and absolutely ideal to use with these.
also if you haven't heard of the frugal crafter, look her up! she has some amazing tutorials using these. the sunflower one blew my mind! there are actually quite a few other really helpful videos i've found on here too; it's amazing how much you can do with one product and a few techniques. lmk if you'd like me to post some links, although i'm sure you can search them up and probably already have hahaha.
i'd like to elevate the use of crayola, so i'm also using those markers and crayons with the caran d'ache as well, i just need to be careful with how/where/why i'm layering them but they've been such a great cheap option while i saved for artist grade~
Thank you for sharing this other side of you… I just introduced my little 10-year-old nephew and my 4-year-old niece to your channel and they are fascinated. BTW, they like the way you pronounce the word “but.” 🍂🍁🌻
Spraying workable fixative helps if you need to use other media on top. Not perfect, but helps to put a texture over the wax so pens can grab onto. It takes some experimentation. Hope this helps, I love this medium.
OH something else you may want to experiment with is what mushrooms near you can be made into ink!! its a super neat process and i thought it would interest you considering your recent videos on mushrooms :)
I've never heard of that before, that sounds incredible!! Thank you for the idea!
I’d love to see you try Black 3.0. It’s the blackest black paint for consumer purchase and it actually absorbs light. I’d be interested to see how you used it.
If you work with normal water colour just take two cups with water (one to clean your brushes and one to get new water). You'll find that you'll need way less water if you aren't doing this already.
Hope that helps anyone :))
But that caterpillar is really cute, almost like Kyra.
There's a super nice art shop in Leeds City centre called Fred Aldous I'm in there almost every weekend lol, they've got tonnes of super nice stuff! Can't wait to see all this new art content!!
Love how the green and yellow caterpillar turned out! I was wondering, have you ever tried using oil paints? They're my favourite medium.
This would look amazing for a children's book illustration, do you do illustrations for children's books? Here is a new subscriber for this channel, Rachel! I like your other channel, too that involves book reviews.

OMG that caterpillar is so adorble🥺💕 I always see these at my local art supply store but because they are so expensive I always walked right past them, especially cause I personally don't like the texture of watercolour crayons/pencils and would rather use normal pans😅 Also, as a side note, from what I've seen of your watercolour paintings, you seem to use cellulose paper for most of them, but if you ever want to step it up, I would recommend using 100% cotton paper🎶
I do use 100% cotton paper for my best watercolour paintings, so all the little animals ones on my website like the duckling, frog and piglets :) racheloates.uk/art/watercolour
@@moreracheloates Ah, I see; then I must have remembered just seeing most of the others😅 and then I also have to applaud your ability to still use cellulose paper, cause personally, I'm so used to cotton, I could never go back to it even if it's just for a sketch🥲
I recommend using more pigment and a lot less water. Try using them more like oil pastels that blend with a little water.
These videos do make me want to start drawing again. I haven't done that seriously in what, almost 15 years? I'm kinda hoping you'll start doing art streams or other live streams again so I can draw along but otherwise I guess I'll just start drawing stuff while watching these videos or something.
This makes me want to paint but I have to do my homework 😭
I haven't picked up a paintbrush in 20 years.
Maybe it's time.
i found one of the really small sets years ago at an antique shop and proceeded to ditch the crayons and use the tin as my palette holder for years lol
recently ive switched tins, but it served me well for years.
maybe i outta pick up another set sometime!
I paint with oils and acrylics so was super glad to find this new art channel of yours! I used to be VERY good at watercolour. I've never really been into crayons but this is definitely inspiring though! Di you ever paint with acrylics or oils? I paint oil portraits. I could send you some through DM on Instagram?
