Superbe tuto, clair, précis!!! ... Une préférence pour les necolor 2 à la cire et les Sennelier à l'huile... Merci pour ce partage très enrichissant!

Love this review! And we all know that you create so much beautiful art with all your supplies! Those of us that have been watching you forever love your art, your techniques, your willingness to share. These reviews really help me and I’m sure others decide if something is worth buying. Thank you so much for sharing 😉

Thanks for this review. I searched for a long while for a comparison on these products and you've covered several of the brands I was hoping to shop for.

[@jackiegarroutte8970]

Thank you!! Had no idea about the differences and what is out there...and this really helps!!

[@rebeccapage4411]

Thanks so much for this overview! I'm dying to try the Rembrandt dry pastels made with gum arabic (so they can be used with watercolor.)

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Carb Othello pencils do move with water, which is why I bought them.

[@amandjuh8885]

You can use the watersoluble pastels ( the vicky ones) on a palette. Scribble them down and pick the pigment up with your brush...carandache has a special palette for it. Works very well💕

[@robinjeree]

The neocolor ii are really so unique, and beautiful. BTW I did snap a couple of mine, because I was holding the crayon higher up towards the middle and with too much pressure.

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Robin Jeree Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep that in mind! :) I am now working on my first online course, can’t reveal too much, but there might be some Watercolor and Neocolor 2 playtime, which I am enjoying so much... When you combine the two it’s like magic happens! 😁

[@marieharvey5725]

Could you please tell me the name of the last one ....you said they your favorite but watched twice and never got the name ...thanks so much for sharing ...

[@RamoArt]

The caran d'ache neocolor 2s maybe?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Yep those were the Caran d’Ache Neocolor 2 crayons. :) Sorry for late reply, few comments seem to have come without notification.

[@asESUas24]

Thank you for a yet another great video! Can you please let me know if carandache wax crayons stay matt after using water with them?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Gintarine Mergaite thank you! They are matte when using with water, do you mean whether they have a glossy finish? They are definitely matte, but can have a lovely transparency when diluted with water. :)

[@lauradegregorio5005]

His a question, Do you spend more time buying art supplies then making art?

[@dianekhamilton]

Laura De Gregorio haha... I think collecting art supplies is its own hobby. They are all so tempting.

[@lauradegregorio5005]

Very true!

[@MaraAnnelisa]

I love Sennelier's oil pastels!

[@dianekhamilton]

MaraAnnelisa please share how you use them!

[@MaraAnnelisa]

@@dianekhamilton I mainly use them to do loose drawings in my sketchbook. For example I pick out a reference and then try to draw it in 5 or 10 minutes ☺️

[@AyasPaperCrafts]

very helpful. Thanks so much

[@melodyssketchbook9869]

great review!

[@dianekhamilton]

I’d love to see you do a video of how to use oil pastels in mixed media. I bought a set of Sennelier but do not know how to use them.... not in a painting but in a mixed media art journal. Thanks!

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

dianekhamilton not sure if you’ve seen this video but you can apply these techniques in art journal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqcpXuuZriMr8k :)
