    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;-).

    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.

    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!

      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.
