Caran d'Ache7500.31 Creative Art Materials NeoColor II" Water Soluble Wax Pastel Set, Multi-Colour

Nor really crayons, as we know as children. Intense colours, soft and blendable. I take this tiny tin out to sketch with a pot of water and my sketch is turned into a watercolour. Genius and so easy to use.

These were brought for an art course where we learnt to wet the entire crayon to intensify the colour. Nice to use although messy when wet! Good selection of colours and recommended for mixed media work

I saw someone on YouTube using these water soluble crayons and I just had to have them. They are absolutely brilliant, but you have to pay for the Swiss quality as they don't come cheap. This is a good starter set, but soon you'll find you really need more colours, especially if you need skin tone for portraits. I'm thinking of buying the bigger set if I could just get myself to shell out £30. They're worth the money though as they last a long time. The colours are brilliant and easy to blend. They are truly water soluble. Just use as regular crayons, then go over it with a wet brush and watch the magic unfold as it turn into watercolour paint. The colours are nice and strong. I really love these! I wish I had the money to buy the biggest set, but I can't justify it as I'm not an artist, though now I wish I was!

Really vibrant colours f

Love them ! Great colours . Permanent when used with a wash ! They are very pricey but you get what you pay for .

I came across these recently on an artwork site, they seem to be relatively new. I'm an artist who's allergic to chemicals but I love bright colours and can use these without any offgassing chemicals giving me problems, they are wonderful to work with. Just crayon them on and paint over with water, your colours can be strong or you can create beautiful delicate watercolours, depending on how thickly you layer the crayons. You will need watercolour paper if you don't want your paper buckling, there is still that slight annoyance, but if you get heavy duty paper - 300gsm+ this might not be a problem, I have still to experiment with this.

Very vibrant colours. They are useful for fashion illustration.

I absolutely love these. I have brought a range of water soluble products and this is one of the best ones I have tried. They have a really lovely creamy texture & beautiful vivid colours. I tend to use a water brush and take the colour off the tip of the crayon. But you can put direct to paper. Perfect for any artists of any ability. Small compact tin ideal for travelling too.
