Best tutorial on neocolor II I’ve ever seen! Thanks for all the tips and everything you do and share!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Thank you so much! I m glad this was helpful for you. I enjoy sharing my techniques and ideas! 🌸💚

[@heloneidaheloneida]

wow, the best information ever about this product here on KZbin, thank you.🙌

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Thank you. I’m glad you found it helpful.

[@melaniemays4573]

I just got my first set of 15 basic colors. I've never used these before and I'm intrigued by all your ideas and instructions! You have inspired me to try them in ways I would not have considered. Thank You for a great video!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

I love them so much. I use them all the time and in many different ways. I hope you love them too!

[@user-si8kn4ox4f]

Great! Thank you for this. I will try some of these things out. YES! I will use a baby wipe!! LOL!! Thank you Sara x

Whoa! So many ways! Thanks heaps!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Have fun! 👍

[@floydfloart1240]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have watched video after video for these and I hav not seen any one show me anything as informative as this video. The fact that you’re passionate about this product shines through. Your not just doing some swatches and trying a couple of blends, you have a through and in-depth knowledge of this product from daily use. With a product as different as this only real use of the product can do it justice. As far as I’m concerned these influencers need only be talking about products they know something about, otherwise it’s doing the product a great disservice. I knew I loved them, but could not quite get them to preform like I felt they really could. My head is bursting with ideas now. I will be watching more of your videos and subscribing, but I felt strongly you needed to know how much your video helped me. Again THANK YOU 🙏

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

THank you so much, your words are heartfelt. I love this product so much, I use them in almost everything I create, but in different ways, they are so versatile. It makes me happy to share my knowledge and give ideas to try. It opens the windows to new ideas, thoughts and creations and that is what art is all about!

I bought my tin of 10 Caran d'Ache neocolor II pastels whilst on a trip to Brisbane a few years ago and only recently started to use them as pastel crayons, adding a bit of water to create effects.

@@valeriefontenot488 I tried it out today….. AWESOME! I love, love love it! Thank you!

[@yasuewho]

Thank you so much for this! I got these awhile ago, then got really sick and kind of lost my inspiration to use them. In my brain, they were akin to solid watercolor, so I'd never thought to stamp with them! That's such a wonderful technique to use with them. In case anyone is looking for ink tools that work over them that are not going to break the bank, I've found many but have a few I love. Kurtake Bimoji Fude brush pens and Pilot Uniball gel pens are excellent. The gel pen is great for fine lines and hatching. The Fude brush pens come in various sizes and if you fall in love or want to get a refillable out of the gate, there are refillable versions from Japan available on Amazon. Anyone who likes Tom Bows dual-tip markers will want to try Fude pens! Just check that the ink is archival and waterproof.

[@floydfloart1240]

I bought one of the sets, now I am on a quest to add to my collection open stock! Gahhh that yellow ochre (?) color in the beginning was great. I tend to normally either paint abstract’s or landscape. But I am teaching myself simple loose florals with the line work. I think that’s where you hooked me, I’ve attempted that same flower 🌺(not as well) but I can see now how I can sit with my sketchbook & these in the evenings and just doodle. I’ve been looking for a way to do that without having to have the whole nine yards set up. The use of all the other mediums was honestly a game changer for me also. I can see so many things in my head I want to try now.

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

I love that I can take my plastic bin of neocolors to the living room with a sketchbook and waterproof pen, water brush and just doodle and color! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Have fun! Did you check out the other neocolor videos I show? There is a playlist on my channel.

[@AmazinGraceXOXO1]

I'm sorry about your house. How awful. It makes me so sad when I hear of things like this. I feel like most of us don't ask for much. We just want a comfortable, warm, safe home to raise our families in, a little car to go to work with and health! Maybe go on a little vacation once in a while. It is sad that we can work all our lives for something that can be taken away like this, any moment. I wish you and your family the best. P.S Don't worry. God hasn't forgotten you. I promise.

What a great video I was on the fence about getting these or derwent inktense but I really think these are more versatile, Thanks for showing us these techniques

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Sandy Wilkie i have derwent inktense...rarely use them. Not my fav. For me they are grainy and hard to get a smooth blend. I prefer neocolor II. But I always suggest buying a few of each, open stock to see what you like, then invest in a larger set once you try them.

[@ladymuck2]

Twisted Artdesigns if you use a brush to pick up th pigment from the inktense pencil the same as you did with the neocolor you get past that grittiness issue

[@sandywilkie1671]

Thank you

[@sunnycharacter]

I found (by way of using these for nail art) glossy white countertop tiles, like the individual ones you can buy at Lowe’s or Home Depot, for 99 cents to maybe a couple dollars depending on the size, make great little pallets as well as glass. I put no slip grip pads underneath, and they’re small so you can pack them in your art travel bag.

This was a pen holder but I no longer use it. It was a pain! And if the crayons got short they would fall through into the bottom. I have another video on a different box I now store them in and I love it. Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPKmJ5_hN6VfMU The modified pen storage was not my favorite after all.

[@maryannewatson2393]

I love the neocolor's also and was so impressed with your video filled with great techniques. Not sure why I never figured out to use the flat end of the crayon instead of making a mess of the point. And using the glass palette with gesso and varnish, how cool is that?

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Have fun trying out some new ways of using them. Even more reasons to love them! 💚

[@jonlizsam]

I love your pen stand for NeoColor ll crayons. You have about a zillion great ideas in your video! I’m going to be busy, for sure. And your glass palette is super cool! Did you make it? Thanks!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Mary McCarthy Thank you Mary! The glass was a piece of tempered glass with stick on rubber circles to keep it from moving on your worktable. It is a glass cutting mat but I use it as a palette for mixing colors. I will have two more neocolor II videos I will be posting this weekend! Thanks for watching!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Mary McCarthy if you are wanting a glass palette, visit your local dollar store in the kitchen gadget section. I found glass cutting board - smooth on top and four rubber feet for $1.00! Perfect for a mixing palette!

[@jamjns]

Great ideas!! 💓 I never thought to use varnish as a medium. Which varnish do you recommend?

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Jamie Jones I have used inexpensive brands like Waverly and more expensive art brands and have not found much difference between them. And you choose between matte and gloss finish based on your desired outcome. I prefer matte because I like to do a lot of lettering with uni-posca pens on top and the matte is slightly easier to write on. Hope that helps. 🌸

[@jamjns]

Twisted Artdesigns thank you!💗

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Jamie Jones you betcha 👍

[@marvelenia6702]

Thanks so much for this useful video! May I ask which brand waterbrush you use? I have several but I think they give too much water, very annoying. Yours does not seem to have that problem.

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Thank you. I’m glad you found the video useful. The water brush I’m using in the video is by Kuretake. There is a link in the description box for them. I have tried just about every brand of water brush, and they are my go to. I can control the water much better with these. I also keep a paper towel or sponge next to me While I work to dab excess water onto before touching my artwork page.Hope that helps.

[@maaikev.7215]

hi, i was wondering, if you prefer to paint from pans, why not just get watercolours? feels like im missing something

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Watercolors are very transparent. Neocolor II are very vibrant and more opaque. They are very different art supplies.

For faces: 7500.042 Flesh, 7500.031 orange-yellow, 7500.041 apricot, the pink I used is 7500.071 salmon pink For basics I like: 7500.191 turquoise, 7500.161 light blue, 7500.131 periwinkle blue, 7500.720 bright green, 7500.249 olive, 7500.010 yellow, 7500.050 flame red, 7500.280 ruby red

@@1deleau be brave! Art is so therapeutic. And the more you play and focus on just expressing yourself rather than the end result, the more fun you will have and the better your artwork will become. 💚🌸 Be brave!

What a great video! Can't wait to try all these new techniques! Where did you get your glass piece? That is such a cool idea! Love your video! I just subscribed!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Jennifer McCall I got the larger tempered glass piece about 14 years ago, when I was managing and teaching at a scrapbooking shop. But I did find a decent one at Dollar Tree dollar store for a buck that works just as well! And you gotta love that price right?!

One more question, can I do any of these techniques on a page already prepped with gesso? Thanks!!😊

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Jamie Jones absolutely! The gesso basically provides coverage and texture or tooth to be able to apply mediums over it so any of these techniques would work well!

Really enjoyed your video. Would you please share the colors you chose for faces? Thanks

jane Hi! Thanks for watching. I have another neocolor video where I talk about face colors you might like. I use flesh 7500.042, light lemon yellow 7500.241, apricot 7500.041, salmon rose 7500.071, orangish yellow 7500.031, rose 7500.081, salmon 7500.051 I will also post a video showing how I do faces with neocolor II.

Thanks so much. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. The colors look so perfect for faces, which is hard to find and figure out.@@TwistedArtdesigns

Love your videos ❤️what is the container you have the neo's in? Thanks for sharing 😊Tanya x

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Dan Schmith Thank you! The container is a long glass vase type thing, probably meant for a succulent garden. It was the right height and a fun way to store them standing up.
