- In this video I'm giving you ideas on how you can use watercoluble crayons in your sketchbook. I'm blending them with water as well as using them like regular crayons. Have you tried these before?

I love the watercolor crayons, I have been using them for 20 years. There are so many ways to use them. Try using a small brush with water on the crayon and use like watercolor for fine details. You can also use thin gesso to active them instead of plain water, that gives a more smooth pastel texture.
Thanks for the tips! 😊
finishing sketchbooks is so satisfying😊 esp. when you look back at how much you've grown
Not only did I love this video, but I’m loving trying to recreate … PLEASE more videos in this medium
Thank you so much. I now know how to get past the “rough and messy” stage!
Brilliant tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to share your tips with us. 🙏🏼💕Water soluble crayons are one of my favorite mediums and I LOVE my Neo 2s!
Thank you 😊
I really need to give these pastels a try with water again because these are stunning!! 😍😍
It's impressive how pigment they are after you put water on them , loved the drawings you made too 🙂
This medium is SO appealing to me! If I didn't have so many unused art supplies already, I would be buying them today. I actually went to Amazon and added them to my cart, but I'm resisting. I would love to see more of this though because they look like a lot of fun. Maybe you can convince me that I can't live without them. Haha!
They sell them open stock at the art store. (If you have one in your area)..you could just buy the primaries
I got mine (40 set) a few years ago and i love them. Bought a lot more colors of them over the years open stock. I am pretty happy with what i got now. Also if you need a sharp edge you can also just take the pigment right of the crayon with your damp/wet brush :D
You're awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks! I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for the support 🥰
Wow-this was SO comprehensive. I really appreciate the amount of work you put into this and the various ways you used Neocolor 2s. I purchased 10 of them -my local art store sells them individually-and having so much fun. I feel like it has really loosened up my work and allows me to be more spontaneous and take more risks.
I'm glad it was helpful! I see them open stock here as well and I'm sooo tempted to get some more colors 😅
I have these...had them for over 5 years... I see them all the time on you tube.... ... love you're video's x
Thank you so much for your new content ❤
Thank you for this video (and the others). I first bought the same set as you have and I expanded my collection by buying a few pencils individually. I need more videos like this
I'm so tempted to buy more right now 😅
Carandache makes a pallet that you can scrape the crayon onto it then dip your brush into that. Great for mixing colours…then you can control your line width.
A much cheaper option is a plastic food chopping board from the supermarket kitchen aisle. Mine is roughly the same size and cost €2 / £1.72 / $2.15. It's currently £14.32 on Amazon UK! (It used to cost about £6), €14.67 on Amazon FR, / $12.91 Amazon US.
@@MrsBarnabas you are correct but i dont have the space for a large chopping board on my art space…but you could find a way to chop it down to a smaller size,
@@Bunnykisses1000 Hi, Bunny. Neither do I. 🙂Miine is exactly the same size as the Caran D,'Ache palette, amd it could be cut down to a smaller size (as well as being expensive, I think the CD palette's way too big anyway! 😄).
Hi, lovely video, as always 😊 I bought the 10 piece pack years ago and I use them to make colourful backgrounds that I then cut to use in scrapbooking. I think I need more colors to actually color something just with them, but I wouldn't know how to choose 😱😱 So many options 😅 Thanks for the video 💐
Thank you! Yes I just saw that I can buy them open stock and there's many colors... very tempting 😅
Great pictures. I really love watching your videos.
Thank you 😊
Thanks I love the colors and the way they turn, so lovely
More videos like this😊
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have a set of them from that I've had for over 20 years.
I got myself a set of these for Christmas last year, but I've barely used them (mostly because of work busy season, but still!). I'd love to see more content around them. Anything to get me re-inspired to create with them.
Thanks for letting me know 😊
Get a palette before you go to sharpen the crayons, because you can totally rewet the shavings! I like to use one of the cheap plastic folding palettes, put the shavings into one well for each color, and then press them down and add some water until the shavings are covered. When dried, it kinda looks and works like gouache, and no waste! I don't sharpen every single crayon, I just sharpen the ones I really need for details.
That's an amazing idea, thank you!
Great! I always wanted to try them but was on the fence :)
Hope the video helped you decide 😊
I prefer to use them on primed paper (with gesso, matte medium, matte acrylic paint, or watercolor ground) because they blend easier (wet or dry) and there's no paper texture. I like the organic textures and marks the crayons themselves create, but the repetitive paper grain annoys me.
They're also my "secret" trick to fix failed watercolor paintings 😁
Thanks for the tip, I might try gesso with these!
Hey 🙂 Ich fände es super, wenn du mehr Videos mit den Neocolor 2 machen würdest. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen! Auch sehr gerne mit den 15 Farben, die habe ich nämlich auch nur. Sind nun mal auch nicht gerade günstig... Allerdings habe ich noch etwas Schwierigkeiten mit dem Mixen auf dem Papier.
Oooh perfect timing! I got a few Neocolors and I always get so inspired by you! Thank you for the ideas! ❤❤❤ cant wait to try them this weekend! 😊
I'm glad it inspired you 😊
👍
Thanks for this video! I have the small set of Neo II and a few open stock but I haven’t used them much because I have to buy everything 🤦🏻♀️ Have you tried using them on hot press paper?
Unfortunately I don't own any hot press paper at the moment! I've used them on smoother paper though and they do blend a lot more into the paper / have a lot less texture
I love your style and colourful paintings.. just wanted to let you know that the courses link in the video description is broken. its missing the "www".
Thank you & thanks for letting me know!
If a person has an excessive amount of watercolors, would these be necessary? I’m new to them.
Necessary no 😅 you could use watercolors and then use regular crayons on top for the texture! But these are fun to play with :)
I got the Mungiyo WC pastels and they don’t blend or dissolve well…or maybe I’m just being impatient.
I haven't tried those but did you try different types of paper? Maybe a smoother paper works better :)
