I’ve been utilizing Neocolor II (water-soluble wax crayons by Caran D’ache) for a couple of years now, however I don’t suppose I’ve ever documented the colors I’m utilizing. I haven’t modified this choice a lot prior to now yr aside from including Periwinkle Blue when the jacarandas had been out and Scarlet throughout my Port Macquarie journey as I used to be sketching a lot meals.
I like utilizing Neocolors as a result of they’re so gentle and creamy and can be utilized dry or moist. They are often added over watercolour for a bit pop of color (which is how many individuals use them) however I like experimenting with them below watercolour for texture and complicated color.
Neocolors are so yummy and enjoyable to make use of! I like them!
I carry my Neocolors in a bit plastic field. As you may see pigment will get all over the place nevertheless it has by no means affected my use of the crayons or the vibrancy of the color..
I break my Neocolors in half – which means that I can carry round twice as many. However I additionally suppose it’s a great factor to do, so I all the time use them with an overhand grip (which is nice for looseness).
