  • Today I swatch out the 32 Caran D'Ache Neocolor I crayons I got in my recent art haul, and test out their properties alongside my Neocolor II's.
    I videoed a quick little sketch at the end, using the Neocolor I's as a wax resist for Roman Szmal paints.
    I'm delighted to have the different properties of both sets, and think they are high quality, beautiful products, especially useful in mixed media art.
    I just wish there were more colours available in the Neocolor I's!

    Thanks for comparing them. I agree the color vibrancy looks the same.

    Gorgeous video and sketch! You make it seem effortless. Thank you for comparing and sharing. Would you mind sharing the sketchbook you use in the Eden Project sketch? It’s a really beautiful sketch. Lovely to see your process!

      Ahh! I’m not living in the UK anymore (rather currently). Do many friends using Seawhites books! Thank you for sharing. It seems a good size.
      Now the issue is…. Neocolors I or Ii 😂

      Yes, sorry, I'm not sure if these are available anywhere else.
      I'd go for Neocolor II's, plus a white Neocolor I for resist work, if I was starting from scratch!

      Great advice! Actually the I’s seem a little difficult to find. Love how you used it as resit- will definitely hunt it down. Thanks!

      They're very lovely! A nice choice!

    Hi Helen! Just wondering if you’re using the neocolor 1? I am considering getting some of the summer since the 2 get so sticky in my hand in the heat…

    • @helencryer

      I do have them, and they're beautifully smooth, but I don't use them very much, just because I really like the water solubility of the 2's. I guess it depends what you want to be able to achieve with them.

    I love your wooden bull dog clip! Protects the paper! May I ask where you purchased it? Thank you!

    • @helencryer

      It's not wooden I'm afraid - it's electroplated brass, from Amazon.
