Yay!! 🎉 If anyone ever needed to have the full NeoColor II, it’s you. I really enjoy all the exercises you’ve done using the set you started with, and can’t wait to see what you do with the full set.
I splurged on these a little while back based on your channel. I don’t regret it at all. I love them along with my Inktense pencils😁 I’m happy you got them!
Wow that’s a Nice christmas gift ! Enjoy them alll this year ! The color ‘aubergine’ is an eggplant purple. Love the proces of you using all the colors into one piece
Swatching Time! 2025! 84 colors!!! Interesting to watch. I think Caran d’Ache should give two swatch cards-one for water and one for no water-seems logical to me. As always, thanks for sharing and may these colors help you bring more wonderful sketches and art concepts to video!
if you're a novice or are on the fence about Neocolors, get the 10 or 15 set one, then add extra colours individually as you go. they're usually $2 and change, tho Blick had a sale just recently for $2 per crayon. tho it's cheaper per crayon if you get the larger sets, unless you're committed to use every colour, a set of 30 can be a waste. i got the 15 set and added 6 more colours individually. now my set of 21 is the exact novel colours I've ever wanted to use + the fundamental colours
Hi from Finland. I LOVE your channel!! My Mom was an artist and went to best AltSchool when she was young. ( about70 years ago😂 ) She was like Like Leonardo Da Vinci . So you can imagine . I love to do art just for fun and It makes me happy. Not for that its perfect in eyes of.. someone. I enjoy to draw intuitively with you. Thank you. I love Neocolor 1 and 2 and woodies. And I love your sparkling personality. And by your inspiration I just went to order all the missing colors to get all 84 colors. I have also some old colors that don't make anymore.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel! I see what you mean. 😅 Not everyone wants to be in a gallery show. Thanks so much for sketching with me! I’m excited for you to get some new colors too! I bet you can’t wait! ❤️😊👍
I love your videos and we all need to treat ourselves once and a while. Do you have any videos where you use minimal supplies and a small sketch book? Like for vacations with long plane rides?
I’m so glad you enjoy the videos! I have one video when I made a small travel set out of the Neocolors and sketched outside. That’s what I use on vacations or on the go. Here is the link to it. ❤️😊👍 th-cam.com/video/vMyTw3kBndo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d48qBXN-4VEmjn8R
Thabk you i have thr big set bought it on a massive sale and im too scared to use them but seeing how much you use them and how little gets used up im going to start using them now ❤❤❤❤
@artbyheather thank you for this video I really needed it they have been sitting in the draw for 2 months untouched unswatched you gave me the confidence I needed 💜💜💜 do you have Instagram I'll tag in you in my work xxx
I have that same set, got it a few years ago for my birthday. Sadly most of them have never been used. I wanted them for coloring instead of crayons because crayons have more wax in them than I remembered as a child. They are so much better but I still don’t use them as much as I’d like. I’m so happy you have this set Heather, I know you will be very happy with them. I loved how you used them today, I don’t know how you used every one of them, but you did!! The page came out great!!❤
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! The good thing is you don’t have to worry about them drying out or expiring in any way. They’ll be there for you if you decide to get back into them. ❤️😊👍
Wow 🤩 a huge tin of Neocolor ll’s just a beautiful collection of colours I have the 30 set I do love them but haven’t used them for ages. This video has made me want to get mine out and have a go with them. I love your picture you created with all your Neocolors, fantastic 🥰
Congratulations on the big set!!! I like having a massive amount of colors to use. I'm still trying to learn color mixing. You're great at drawing light and shadow! I love high contrast in artwork.
Thank you so much! I’m so excited to do more with them! Color mixing is a tricky one to learn. I wish I could remember the exact video on TH-cam that helped me.. but the idea was very simple. It was using oil paint, but the strategy was the same for any medium. Browns are orange, and most whites and blacks are blue. Then you just decide what the color you’re trying to achieve needs more of using the primaries. (Does it need more red or more blue. Does it need more yellow or more blue. Does it need more yellow or more red.) I’m sure reading it isn’t as good as watching the video, but it really simplified it for me and things just started to click. And I agree, high contrast is so pleasing for me too! ❤️😊👍 I’ll see if I saved that color mixing video and share it with you if I have it.
@artbyheather okay! Thanks for the help! There was a Sandi Hester video that taught a little bit of how to mix. But I think I'm over complicating it in my head.
I found it! I had saved it after all. th-cam.com/video/TNB3XY67Q-I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R5LkgQTOuQYhoyCx Please let me know if the link doesn’t work. He uses specific colors in the video, but it works the same way with most colors. (So like cadmium red vs alizarin crimson).. don’t get too focused on the specific red or blue he uses. If that makes sense.
Lovely landscape ❤ I think we're all just as excited as you to see what fun you'll have with the big set. I get out my 30 set and sketchbook at least every Sunday to art with you and it's helping me get out of my own art funk. Not using a drying tool helps me slow down and enjoy the process more. Good thoughts for you and yours!
Some yummy purples and blues for sure! It’s like being in an ice cream shop with too many good flavors! “Can I get a quarter scoop of all of it please?” ❤️🤣👍
❤❤❤ love these too and like you got the BIG set as a gift. I started out with the ten set, to try if I liked them. I also use them on top of acrylic paintings and fixate them with gel medium.
So happy Santa brought your dream gift...obviously you were very good in 2024! Im excited to watch you do your amazing art magic all 2025. I got my full 84 set during the big yearly sale so each one was only 1.60. Big savings! If people can wait for the sale Jerrys Artarama and Cheap Joes sell at that low price about twice a year. You make Sunday mornings fun. Thanks.
I love how you pulled this off. I was thinking it was going to be bright mess hell, but I was ever so wrong! (I love when I am wrong in this kind of situations). It came out amazing. I love you and your channel. Happy New year.
Happy New Year! So happy for you, Heather. ❤ You will have so much fun, with this set. And we too. But I must admit, I'm a little jealous...😊 BTW the picture turned out beautiful.
Loved this. I now have serious crayon envy - I almost got them for my birthday but then admitted to hubby that I have the 30 pack so he lost interest. Oh well, maybe I'll just have to treat myself 🙂 Thanks for the video. Looking forward to seeing all the new videos you produce with all the new neocolor II colours - not forgetting the Woody's too!
What a great way to try out all the colors,love it…I too am smitten with Neo colors.. have all them except the 3 metallics,I got the set of 30 for my birthday and bought the rest of them open stock over time,,,so I don’t have the lovely case..I have however put them in tins according to like colors. Can’t wait to see what you have coming for videoes this year… Thank you.
That’s awesome! I’m thinking about what I should put them in besides this case, because it’s so huge on my desk! 😅 I’m excited for this year too! More to come! ❤️😊👍
Yummy yummy colors! so excited for you, Heather! I absolutely love the video and watching you swatch and play around and do your artwork. So inspiring!
Thanks Heather, i sketched with you, the neo color was my present too, love them so much together with a Hanahmule nostalgie A4 sketchbook, a great sketchbook, so happy. ❤
Happy 2025 Heather! Thank you for sharing so much YOU on your channel. You have really helped me let go and enjoy drawing again. I'm relieved your passion for Neo2s is not waning! I have 5 more colors ordered on Blick, to add to the 13 that I own. Augerine is one of my original 1st 6 picks 💜
That is stunning and a great challenge!! 🥰 You really pulled it off!! 👏👏 The rainbow of colors in the trees is gorgeous!! 💞 I might want to try it as more of an abstract flower color wheel, but I might have to avoid the blacks and browns? Those just aren't my jam, lol! 😅 But they might work for a background... What a wonderful Christmas gift!! 🥰 I suffer from full set syndrome, so I went from the tiny pack to the big pack!! 😂 Neocolor IIs are just awesome!! 🌈 I found out that one of my physical therapists likes to make art, so I gave the tiny pack to her! They are too precious to give to a second-hand shop... 😉
That’s a great idea! The blacks and browns ruin the rainbow effect for sure! Full Set Syndrome! 🤣 that’s hilarious! I’m sure your physical therapist was very appreciative! ❤️😊👍
I've watched several of your videos. I know you can wet both of the supplies your use after you've drawn with them. Have you ever made a wet pallet like you could with water colors for the purpose of blending the primaries or any of the colors in the smaller set? One, to see how well they blend together if you treated them more like a dry to wet medium, and Two, to see if you could blend any of the smaller set to achieve any of the additional colors that you get in the bigger set? I hope that made sense. Maybe you've already done something like that.
I usually blend on the paper to create different colors. I think if you shaved a little off two or three colors and wet them in a half pan or mixing palette they would act just like watercolor. I haven’t tried it that way, but I’m pretty sure it would work. They mix very nicely together. ❤️😊👍
I just got my first set (30) and I love them. It's mostly your fault (lol). I put the 84 set on my Amazon wish list. Maybe the price will go down by the time I can justify purchasing them. I have some serious art supplies waiting to be used. Thank you for always being entertaining. This set is gorgeous. I know you are going to love them almost as much as we love watching you use them.
I’m sorry and you’re welcome all at the same time! 🤣 I hope you enjoy using them! The 30 set is really a great variety. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel! ❤️😊👍
Oooooooo…. I almost got that huge set also for my first time but didn’t because of the price and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it enough. Now I think I would’ve but I’m going to wait. Besides I don’t use my set enough now to justify getting it. YOU on the other hand….yeah….you are going to get a lot of use with them. And I saw that video where you broke the first set into smaller pieces and I almost died! It broke my heart to see them broken BUT I’m used to it now. 😂 😂 I love everything you do so keep up the amazing art and we your subscribers will try to keep up. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Better to start small until you know how much you’ll use them! You made a good choice. I knew that video would be hard for some to watch. 😅 Happy New Year! More to come! ❤️😊👍
If you use water on them, they smudge less. A spiral bound sketchbook will smudge more because the pages rub together. If you stick a piece of paper in between the last page you worked on, it will keep them from transferring when you draw on the next pages. I hope that helps. ❤️😊👍
@@artbyheather You are able to see more colors than other people. The Neocolor ii gold looks like green baby poop that's shiny to me, I'm also able to see more colors. 4 cones in the eye instead of 3 cones. Stabilo looks like real gold not green.
@@marshalepage5330 or people have different preferences to colours? You can't say everyone who can see more colours like the same colours, that makes no sense
I don't think you owe anyone any kind of explanation as to why you got them congrats on the wonderful present and Ill bet everyone was cringing and watching with hands over their eyes when you broke the other ones to put into the small tin gasping in horror but as long as they get used does it really matter? I have seen people cut pieces of them off to put into 1/2 pans inside a water color palette to make it more convenient to use, Everyone has their own usage for them.
It was definitely hard for some to watch the Neocolor massacre! 🤣 But they are twice as useful to me now. I’ve heard of saving the shaving, if you sharpen them, to use in half pans too. I felt like explaining, because I didn’t want anyone to feel like they Need the biggest set. Especially young viewers. Thanks for your kind words! ❤️😊👍
When you have a set of 20 or 30 colors you only use 5 or 6 in a painting, but if you have a set of 84, well then, must use them all in a single painting, wink.
How exciting! Just play and experiment with them. That’s the best way to learn how they act and what you like to do most with them. Pick a topic you enjoy and feel most comfortable with drawing/painting. Then try it a few different times with different colors. They look really good when you layer them. So once you use water on them, let it dry completely and then draw on top. Remember we learn by making mistakes, so just go for it and see what happens. ❤️😊👍
Yay!! 🎉 If anyone ever needed to have the full NeoColor II, it’s you. I really enjoy all the exercises you’ve done using the set you started with, and can’t wait to see what you do with the full set.
Thank you so much! I’m excited to try different color combinations! More to come! ❤️😊👍
I treated myself to the neocolor II in 30 colors for Christmas and love them. And it is so much easier to paint along with you.
That’s great! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them! The 30 is a great set! ❤️😊👍
I personally love it when you geek out😅
Thank you! You get it! ❤️🤓👍
Wow that is an awesome Christmas gift! 😍🤩🫶🏻
I’m so thankful! ❤️🥰👍
I got this tin for Christmas too, yay. So excited to start exploring and experimenting with these. Thanks for this excellent video.
Congrats! I hope you have a blast with them too! ❤️😊👍
I splurged on these a little while back based on your channel. I don’t regret it at all. I love them along with my Inktense pencils😁 I’m happy you got them!
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you weren’t disappointed! Inktense are a lot of fun too! ❤️😊👍
Wow that’s a Nice christmas gift ! Enjoy them alll this year ! The color ‘aubergine’ is an eggplant purple. Love the proces of you using all the colors into one piece
I see! It does look like an eggplant color. I’m loving all the colors! ❤️😊👍
Aubergine is one of my favs!
Great painting!!❤
Thanks! ❤️😊👍
yAY!!!! I'm so happy you got them all. Finally! WooHoo!
Thanks! ❤️🥳👍
You had me at Payne’s Grey! ❤ My favorite color!❤❤❤❤
Yes!! Such a great color! ❤️😍👍
Swatching Time! 2025! 84 colors!!!
Interesting to watch. I think Caran d’Ache should give two swatch cards-one for water and one for no water-seems logical to me.
As always, thanks for sharing and may these colors help you bring more wonderful sketches and art concepts to video!
That would be a nice touch to have a doubled area to use water and no water. Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😊👍
Watching your videos makes me want these! They look so enjoyable to play with. I hope you have a lot of fun with them!
Thanks! They’ve easily become my favorite art supply over the past year. ❤️😊👍
You're living my neocolor dreams right now 😍 I'm so jealous of and happy for youuuu!
It feels like a dream to me too! ❤️🥰👍
if you're a novice or are on the fence about Neocolors, get the 10 or 15 set one, then add extra colours individually as you go. they're usually $2 and change, tho Blick had a sale just recently for $2 per crayon.
tho it's cheaper per crayon if you get the larger sets, unless you're committed to use every colour, a set of 30 can be a waste.
i got the 15 set and added 6 more colours individually. now my set of 21 is the exact novel colours I've ever wanted to use + the fundamental colours
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing it! ❤️😊👍
Loved this. I watch every Sunday.
Thanks! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel! ❤️😊👍
Oooh I love your forest 😁
Thanks! ❤️😊👍
Need to get 84 neocolor II set. Love this type of painting. It makes a loose appearance and love it!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! ❤️😊👍
I love my neo colours 2. I have 30 and feel a little envious of your huge set. Enjoy them Heather.
The 30 is a really great set too! ❤️😊👍
Beautiful! Agree with you about the gold. TFS! Have fun!
Thanks! There is a golden color in the set, but it’s not metallic. ❤️😊👍

That’s so good to hear! Go for it! My instagram is @artbyheatherweeks
@artbyheather I just followed you 💜
Such a cool way to use all the colors! I have the 15 set for about 2 years! Adore them. I would love more reds & pinks, but I am a master blender.
It’s so great that they last so long! Being able to blend is a superpower for sure! ❤️😊👍

@artbyheather The link worked! I saved it to my art playlist 👍
Cool! I hope it helps! Sometimes getting the same info in a different way makes things click. 👍
I could see you smiling. I have the smaller set. I am happy with it.
That’s great! I’m glad you’re enjoying them! ❤️😊👍
Congratulations on your prize! I am so excited for you. Beautiful picture. Happy New Year!! It is going to be great!!

Some yummy purples and blues for sure! It’s like being in an ice cream shop with too many good flavors! “Can I get a quarter scoop of all of it please?” ❤️🤣👍
Gahhhh I wish I could afford the big set!!!! lol get it!!
It’s a big investment for sure! You can mix a lot of the colors with a smaller set too. ❤️😊👍

@@artbyheather Have you thought about short jars or juice glasses. Could sort them by color family or rows they came in. Just a thought
That would be cute! I’ll have to keep an eye out for something like that. The height of the jar might be hard to find.
So happy for you that you got that awesome gift. Looking forward to more videos 😊 happy new year.
I’m so thankful for them! I can’t wait to do more! ❤️😊👍
You're so inspiring!!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re getting some good inspiration! ❤️😊👍
Happy New Year, Heather! Another amazing & inspiring video! Love it! Thanks again! :)
Happy New Year to you too! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😊👍

That’s funny! ❤️😆👍

If you mentioned this before and I missed it, I apologize. But do they smudge against other papers if I wanted to use a multi media sketch book?
If you use water on them, they smudge less. A spiral bound sketchbook will smudge more because the pages rub together. If you stick a piece of paper in between the last page you worked on, it will keep them from transferring when you draw on the next pages. I hope that helps. ❤️😊👍
@ Thank you so much. I really appreciate your suggestions.
I'm the opposite, I prefer the neocolor ii gold, it feels more natural to me
Interesting! I think I’m just so used to the other gold. I’ll have to play around with it more! ❤️😊👍
@@artbyheather You are able to see more colors than other people. The Neocolor ii gold looks like green baby poop that's shiny to me, I'm also able to see more colors. 4 cones in the eye instead of 3 cones. Stabilo looks like real gold not green.
"People with tetrachromacy have an extra cone that helps them process and distinguish more colors"
Neocolor ii gold is ugly to people who see more colors.
@@marshalepage5330 or people have different preferences to colours? You can't say everyone who can see more colours like the same colours, that makes no sense
I don't think you owe anyone any kind of explanation as to why you got them congrats on the wonderful present and Ill bet everyone was cringing and watching with hands over their eyes when you broke the other ones to put into the small tin gasping in horror but as long as they get used does it really matter? I have seen people cut pieces of them off to put into 1/2 pans inside a water color palette to make it more convenient to use, Everyone has their own usage for them.
It was definitely hard for some to watch the Neocolor massacre! 🤣 But they are twice as useful to me now. I’ve heard of saving the shaving, if you sharpen them, to use in half pans too. I felt like explaining, because I didn’t want anyone to feel like they Need the biggest set. Especially young viewers. Thanks for your kind words! ❤️😊👍
When you have a set of 20 or 30 colors you only use 5 or 6 in a painting, but if you have a set of 84, well then, must use them all in a single painting, wink.
Must use all the colors! 😍👍
I got the special edition warmth tones for christmas and bought the normal set with 10 crayons for 9€ on ebay..but I have NO IDEA how to use them
How exciting! Just play and experiment with them. That’s the best way to learn how they act and what you like to do most with them. Pick a topic you enjoy and feel most comfortable with drawing/painting. Then try it a few different times with different colors. They look really good when you layer them. So once you use water on them, let it dry completely and then draw on top. Remember we learn by making mistakes, so just go for it and see what happens. ❤️😊👍
You almost lost me with so much talking in the beginning but I loved the finished sketch ❤
Thanks! I’m glad you stuck around for it! ❤️😊👍
