We have been together for 38 years .We Still laughing and loving. I wish you and your family the best happiness .I like your reviews and art.

Hello from Switzerland! :) I always enjoy seeing people review my childhood art supplies. To me they were just children‘s supplies, but this video gave me a whole new perspective on them! I still have mine, so I might have to give them another try.

When you draw lines with the white wax pastel on white paper and then add watercolour over it, the effect is really cool, when the white structured lines get visible 👍

I love these wax pastels and have tons of videos on my channel using them with watercolors. They are perfect for an initial loose sketch that resists watercolor. Thanks for a great review!

I love caran d'ache ! We used to always recommend them in our art shop. I've been using the neopastels for ages they're my lads

I just finished a piece with Neocolor I and coloured pencils on sanded paper. For blending I used Zest it (or solvent). Blending worked like a treat with this method and the coloured pencils went on well on top.

Wow this is the most in depth review I've ever seen!!! I love that you use lots of mixed media, too! :D Thank you so much!

[izabelacichanska]

It's nice to see you mix different media in one piece😃

Great review. It was quite helpful to see how the Posca pens layer over top of them, thankyou for sharing!

Hi Teoh, thanks for great content, as always! One more way to use Neocolor (i have watersoluble ones) is to draw with the side of a broken piece, like the ones your daughter made. It gives you a nice broad mark. You just need to rub off the waxy layer on top first, pushing it a bit more against the paper. Btw I also have a toddler daughter but we share my set of crayons 😆

great review -- very useful, as I love using the water-soluble Neocolors, and was wondering about the non-water-soluble ones. (In fact, if you ever decide to make a review video for the water-soluble ones, I would look forward to watching it! )

Hello Teoh. Thanks for your video. When using wax pastels you can also use cotton swabs to go over, that helps a lot in getting the colors to cover the paper grain, and also colors can blend. For large areas, a piece of cotton or paper towel can be used. This also allows smooth color transitions even on more textured paper. I have not tried this particular brand, but several other brands... they work in much the same way, I suppose Caran D'Ache should not be that different.

Teoh, thanks so much. This was exactly what I needed.

[cindyhorton]

Well this was different! I wondered about these, thank you!❤️

A great video! Love the art shown in this.

I love the water soluble Neo color 2. Btw I sharpen them in a pencil sharpener, works great and you can get thinner lines.

[ivyclara]

Thank you for this review. I had no idea why anyone would want neocolor 1. Now I get it.

[hiimlolo]

LOL I like how you incriminate your daughter over the internet. Haha she went on a mission to break those! Super cool techniques!

[melaniesalavante]

Thanks for sharing your techniques! Will definitely try them out next time. :)
