The quality of Neocolor II Aquarelle Artists Crayons is universally acknowledged. Their excellent lightfastness, high pigment concentration, and adaptability to a variety of techniques have put them in a class of their own.
Neocolor II Crayons are softer than colored pencils, denser than childrens wax crayons, and extremely responsive to a wet brush. Wet and dry techniques can be combined in the same drawing. Because of their strong pigmentation, light colors cover dark colors and vice-versa.
Neocolors are soft enough to smudge with your fingertips, yet much firmer than oil pastels. Scrape off one or more layers of color to create an engraved sgraffito effect. They can also be combined with Caran dAche Pablo Colored Pencils. Best of all, theyre watersoluble.
Individual Neocolor II Crayons measure 105 mm long 10 mm diameter (4-1/8″ 5/16″).
