Take the extra colour from the tip of the crayon instead of the flat end. That helps maintain the tapered end and you won’t have to sharpen as often.
Thanks for the "tip"! 😁 Great idea.
That’s a great tip!
Neocolors II wax pastels are amazing! Great lesson with the small set. I got the 84 set to get the more muted shapes, and I am loving it. You can use a plastic plate (where the center is a bit rough) to "grate" the pastels and pick up colour or mix it from there. TIP 1️⃣: A regular ceramic or porcelain plate would also work and "eat" less product. The 84 set allowed me to create dedicated palettes, depending on the subject I am painting. You are going to love the big set! Herr are some tips TIP 2️⃣ Picking up colour from the tip rather than the back helps you keep a pointed shape on the tip rather than wetting the paper at the bottom tip (which you might need to peel off if too wet) Tip 3️⃣ if you need to sharpen them, pick up the shavings in emprty half.oans or cheap plastic palette. it is 100% product which you can use for.bigher washes or corrections.
Well darn it. Now I have another art supply to add to my wishlist! I love how vibrant the colors are! Lol
Try emerald green with yellow ochre and brown. And ultramarine blue with yellow ochre and brown. This for different greens. And blue with brown is good for shadows.
Yes! More please! Can't wait to see what you do with the larger palette when that arrives!
Yayyyy I love it
I would very, very much like more videos about using this brand watercolor crayons. Thanks for the video!
Love it❤
Big fan of Neocolor II! I purchased all of mine open stock so I have a small custom palette that includes plenty of portrait colors. I enjoy using them on their own, and also to fix watercolor paintings I'm not entirely happy with.
Stiffer brushes are best, I prefer flat ones that don't hold a lot of water so the colors don't get too diluted.
More please, mountains, flower field, beach scape
Those colours are so vibrant! Very interesting to see them wake up with water! Thx for making us discover other mediums!
Love love love this! I notice that it looks like almost a cross between watercolors and gouache, but with more of the traits of watercolor. SO much fun!! I have a small set that I haven't used in a while....you've inspired me!!!! Thank you!
Beautiful tree Emma! Those crayons look fun. Seems like they would be perfect for travel since you wouldn't have to wait for a palette to dry or worry about spilling paint.
Very very keen to see more. Florals. And cards
you deserve to be an ambassador to the neocolors
I got my 15 pack today and love them. Ive been making trees! Im using a very rough colour water paper from the dollar store and the textrue is amazing! Thank so much for this video ❤
I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and try these myself. I love these trees!
Love the trees, I would like to see you do some water with them, ripples and wave textures
Would love to see more videos like this. Those trees are super cute ❤❤❤❤
Ok but can we talk about how simple you make the process and how stunningly good looking these trees are? *Video saved*
What a great video, thank you for that!
Your trees turned out awesome Emma! I would love to see more, how about flowers! I have a small set and now I'm gonna get them out!🥰
The colours are so vibrant. They make my standard watercolour seem quite dull by comparison. I can see why they could become addictive to use. Thanks for sharing. ❤😊
Love the tree tutorial. I’d love to see you try a Ponderosa pine tree. This is a needle tree with a lot of open spaces. My nemesis. Hahahah.
I really appreciate these crayons too! I had problems with my creativity because I hate to spill stuffs, but with these media, it is almost impossible!
Thank you for sharing your techniques, you really look like having fun!
I would appreciate to see you draw & paint a weeping meadow with a little breeze in the falling branches to make it even more ‘alive’ ;)
Great work and fun to look at 🎉😊
I would like to see landscape done with these crayons, maybe seaside. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I have some of these but haven't used them in a really long time. Would love to see a whole lot more with these crayons. Flowers, landscapes, etc. Thanks for sharing!!
I really loved playing along with my Prisma watercolor pencils! I will put these crayons on my wishlist. 😊
More videos using these would be marvelous 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have the Lyra watercolor crayons plus the set of 10 Caran D'ache Neo IIs. This was great fun to watch and I expect it will be great fun to do, as well. Yes, more please.
I would love to see more videos using the CD crayons!
I’m so glad you did this video because I got some of them and not a lot of reviews on them:( yes! Definitely do more so I can learn more techniques on them although they are very fun! ❤❤❤❤
You can put any shavings from sharpening them into a palette and make a Neocolor watercolor palette!
I love these trees. Although not traditional colors they fabulous. Love the vibrancy.
I love that blue spruce tree.
These trees are really beautiful! The little bit of blue gives an amazing touch to the first tree! :')
Thanks for the tutorial. I love painting trees so I'm happy to see I can use my Neocolor 2 pastels to paint them.
Wow I love those trees & I love those crayons. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford them.
Awesome tutorial Emma. Thank you so much for sharing these techniques. I would personally love to see you use these media in more ways on the channel. Thanks again and have a wonderful day and rest of your week. 😊
wow I had never heard of water color crayons before but that was loads of fun! i cant wait to try some😁
This was very helpful and fun! Can’t wait to try it out with my neocolor II palette!
Loving these supplies! I randomly just got the same 15 color set,so I’m really grateful to you for ideas on how to use them.
Wow, thanx for your beautiful work and tutorial with crayons. I've bought some last week and it was a big pleasure to try these out with your help. 😍 And YES, please more of them.
I’m wondering how these would look on a smoother hot pressed paper? Brilliant video as always!
Beautiful video/tutorial. Would love to see if colour mixing is an option. I'm deciding if I need a big set or can get away with a smaller set.
Purple is one of my favorite colors to mix with bright greens for shadows. Instant olive. I love these trees, so pretty. The beautiful thing about crayons and pencils is the control you get. Also, you are using the crayons like palette-dried gouache. You said in another video that you didn't really like gouache as much, but I think you'd like it palette dried and used in the same way you're often using the crayons. Thanks for the tutorial. I'd love to see more with the crayons. I don't care what ;-).
Andersonville, Tennessee here!
These are awesome. I wonder if it would work with water soluble oil pastels as well?
I must say ur content is quite fantastic. If caran d’ache isn’t supporting ur channel then they’re nuts
Love these trees. :) Would love to see more videos of you using both these and your Albrecht Durers, they are so much fun! Would like to see how you tackle bare winter trees, for some reason I often get impatient painting out the branches and they end up too thick near the ends, so would love to see how you render them.
Love it! Would be nice to see more videos using these !!
Morning Emma, u keep spending my money! lol I l love the look of these crayons, using them with water x Thank u for the introduction Emma x With art , art mediums etc we evolve with our creations. Using a new medium can spark our inspiration creativeness so its all good to embrasse different mediums and style etc. Lovely to see u experimenting and to hear the excitement in your voice x love Alli from UK XXX p.s just ordered the pack of 15! xx
Super lesson! More Neocolor lessons!! :-) I love your book btw, looking forward to reach the trees! 😮
You are the tree master! These are beautiful. Guess I have to get myself a birthday present!
You’re over critical of yourself…all the trees, especially the evergreen, are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Those were great! Thanks 👍
Emma great job. I love the trees I'm going to have to try this myself. :) thank you
Love these crayons! Looks like I might add yet another medium/supply to my growing collection. 😊
Wow! Looks very nice…. Excellent job! You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents! ❤
I love the trees and will definitely experiment with them. As I watch you explore with the crayons it makes it all less daunting for me. :-)
Thanks so much Emma! I have some watercolor crayons, but had no idea what to do with them. I will definitely try your technique!!
This is an amazing medium 😍 I love it! Yes I would love to see you use more of this medium. Thank you 😊. FLORIDA
Now that is more my style! I think you got better detail that way. ⚾️
Amazing I loved it
so nice trees❤️😍
That’s so informative! I have a couple Neocolors that I bought open stock and I’ve been struggling to use them. Now they make more sense to me 😊
More supply's to try I love it! go for the flowers... thanks
I have this ordered and your video is so timely! I will be painting along with you and your trees when they come in! Oh I didn’t know about the pallet for these crayons? I will save that for my next order! Thanks Emma!
Emma…. Totally fun👏 I’ve decided to invest in these watercolor crayons❤ ty
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing this!
I have a small set of watercolor crayons 🖍️. I want to try and see if I can create some type of a tree. I love watching your videos. 😊
would love to see some ocean/waves scenes. Do you know if the Caran D'Ache watercolour pencil crayons are the same as the watercolour crayons?
Love this. I would like to see more ❤
Yep, i need a green between the Yellow Green and the Emerald Green - more natural... any recommendations? 😊🙏
I got a different brand with just a few colors. I played around a bit. I actually didn't like putting the color down on the plastic board. I just used scrap watercolor paper to lay down color or put a wet brush on the crayon itself to pick up the color. Can't wait to see how you use them. I think landscapes would be nice!
Aren't they fun? I also like the look of the crayon so wouldn't mind sometimes leaving some areas dry. I have a pack from Mungyo.
I would like to see more!
So cool! Great job!
Love this and the Christmas tree was beautiful 😍 anything maybe water? Clouds amd a moon?.
Do these crayons dry lighter like other watercolor paints?
They seem to keep their vibrancy!
Hello, thank you for your video. How do you seal/fix Neocolor II?
Love it! Can you do a onderwater Scene with a fish in it? Have you do this for thé lessons with Caran d'ache mediums.....
Great job! Check out Lindsay Weirich- the frugal crafter. She has a lot of tutorials with different ways to use them! I love that you can use light over dark with these and do lots of layering, or you can water them down and use them like water colour. I often use them directly on the paper and color my shape in with more pigment and liquify them with a very slightly damp brush, usually a filbert brush. I sharpen them and keep the shaving in a cheap plastic palette, adding just a touch of water to melt them together and then you have a pan of that colour so you don’t have to keep taking colour off the stick. Nothing goes to waste! I have the 84 box I think!
Could you tell me what exact colors you used for each tree? I have the 30 set, and I am struggling to figure it out so I can properly follow along.
Emma, can you remove color at all? Paper towels or kinda scrub it out? Very cool! I purchased those years or so ago and didn't know how to use them! Thanks :)
I’ll have to try and check!
They lift fairly similarly to watercolor.
Um, will anyone ever say what colors come in the 15 set??? They aren’t listed anywhere, including on the packaging. Thanks.
Hi Emma! Great video! Do you recommend using cotton or cellulose paper and hot or cold pressed paper when working with these crayons?
I'm actually going to do a video testing out different papers to see which is best!
They work fine on cellulose paper, I actually prefer to use them on toned mixed media paper (quality ones like Strathmore 400 or Clairefontaine PaintON). As long as the paper doesn’t pill when you scrub it, it's fine. Any texture works depending on your preferences.
@@EmmaLefebvre I highly recommend that you include toned paper in your test as well!
Do you like watercolor pencils or the watercolor crayons better?
So far I love the crayons more
I m not finding these enjoyable don't know what I'm doing wrong but the pigment pay out on the light green and yellow seem weak to me any ideas, help
Do you like the crayons like these better than the pencil version? Does that make sense?
I can't speak for Emma but these are just so fun. I've never really liked coloured pencils (wc or regular).
I do! I find them so much more vibrant!
Emma could u try this crayons with a vibrant color iris flowers
I’ll add it to my list
💚🍀🙏
Oh no I think I need to add another medium 😅
Caren d Ache Neocolor II are Aquarellable, Neocolor I is water-soluable. There is a slight difference regarding the water but only Caen d Ache knows the answer.
Neocolor I are not water-soluble, they are water-resistant. Just regular wax crayons. Only Neocolor II can be dissolved with water.
Why Not just use watercolours?
Because it means if you're at a class you've not got the problem of pools of paint in the palette where you have to carefully carry the damn thing flat to avoid it dribbling everywhere! They also give more control like wc pencils.
@@heatherhoward2513 Water brushes are a great solution to this problem! You should try them.
lindos
Love it ❤
