I'm Using Neocolor II to paint outside in the Snow

[@a.scheepers8923]

Thank you for doing normal, and not the best in the class at Harvard. Ordinary me relates wonderful with your exercises. Love watching you videos and live your art.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks so much. I sometimes wonder if my art is good enough but then I remember that my main goal is to just to enjoy it.

[@mentalmadness5402]

I love neocolor ii! I use them for my.plein air Urban Sketching. So fun! It was nice to see another artist use them too.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks so much. It is fun.

[@cherylj.harris4967]

Great use of this medium, especially in the cold. ❤

[@PaintWithPencil]

Glad you liked it!

[@jenniefrench1338]

One of the best examples that I have seen using these. I have some too and have been more of a realism styled painter and thought that this could loosen me up but I only saw a couple of examples of paintings that I liked on KZbin so I was hoping that I would see something closer to my style and I did. They smudge well too. Some put the shavings in watercolor pans so they go further. Thank you for your tips and nice painting.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks for the kind comment Jennie. They are fun to experiment with. I want to try some different surfaces too. That seems to make a big difference.

[@jeanettegillings7202]

I can’t live without my watercolours!

[@annmurray6494]

Neocolor II have a learning curve for sure. Mine sat on the shelf for 10 years until a couple months ago I pulled them out to give them another try. The one thing I learned right away was that you need very little water to make them liquid. If you use too much water it picks up the undercolors and makes a mess. I do mainly animals and have found them to be my most used medium now. Love your style of painting. You have inspired me to try doing landscape with them.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Very cool! Thanks for watching and adding to the conversation 🌞

[@Skinnychelle48]

Beautiful from a-z! Love my Neocolors!

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks so much!

[@jessicalawbagel]

Awesome video and beautiful art 👍🏻 BTW the Derwent electric eraser looks so cool 🤣

[@crystalthursby2808]

Fabulous experience and beautiful painting! Can’t wait to watch more videos!

[@PaintWithPencil]

So awesome for you to say. Thanks for the comment!

[@suel4269]

Wow ! That’s beautiful. I just got 6 individual colors to try them out. I have lots of watercolors and wonder why I need these. Please convince me! 😉

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks for the kind words. If you watch my other videos you'll see I'm the wrong person to ask why you need more art supplies. I love trying them all. So if you need convincing do it because it's fun. I've been enjoying allowing myself to be a mixed media artist so I can use many types of media on a single project. Enjoy!

[@michellemaccracken7086]

I love the way you share.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks for the kind comment. Its been fun to do and I'm glad you are liking it.

[@franswey2]

I’m learning to use the Neocolor ii and I appreciate your demonstration and thoughts using them. I’ll be back to watch it again as it is very helpful.These are to be such a wonderful medium, I’m surprised there isn’t more people demonstrating using them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful crayon 🖍 drawing with me 👩🏼‍🎨🖍. From my mountain top in middle Tennessee, where the hilltops kiss 💋 the sky 🌤, Fran

[@PaintWithPencil]

That's great! I'm working on my next video where I used both NeoColor I and II and I still have so much to learn. But it's fun to try.

[@tavenchristensen3157]

💥WOAH‼️ Neo crayons on a board?… - I’M REALLY IMPRESSED! Your painting is so interesting. It turned out great. 👏🏼 - And FOR SURE, I’m buying an electric eraser❗️ ha!ha! :D I’ve wanted Neocolor II for ever. 😍 THANKYOU I’ll be watching.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy your new supplies!

[@tavenchristensen3157]

@@PaintWithPencil I will. 😀 I’m going to try using them just the way you did. - WHAT COULD GO WRONG.- ha!ha!ha!

[@Prettypages71]

Thanks for sharing. Love your painting. Neocolor ll are awesome. New sub. 🤗

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks so much!

[@GarVal5]

Thanks for sharing this! I have been experimenting with some new Neocolor II and this is has been so helpful! Love the result 😊

[@PaintWithPencil]

Glad it was helpful! and thanks! ☺

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

I’ve never seen these used in this way. You’ve done a beautiful painting and captured the view perfectly. I found the use of violet for the shadow really effective. I was surprised about the snow giving way like that though, but then I don’t have experience of deep snow. Thank you for sharing this!

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Snow can be tricky and unstable. I'm always sure to stay away from the steeper slopes so I don't have any avalanche issues.

[@meredithpope333]

Thank you for your great video, I haven’t had any training in drawing or painting so I really appreciated you explaining colour techniques, warm and cool placement and colour wheel details. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos 💕

[@PaintWithPencil]

Your welcome. Most of my learning has come from videos and books as well. Thanks for watching some of my videos. 🌞

[@JoshOBryan]

amazing and wonderful

[@suzannemarshall7458]

just got some Neocolors and this video was very helpful to see how to do landscapes and nature paintings. Thank you

[@PaintWithPencil]

Awesome. I hope ave fun with them.

[@13Moondancer]

Oh I felt for you when the crayons hit the snow 😢. So enjoyed your video 🙏

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thank you so much 😊

[@malinvikberg1194]

Beautiful video & scenario. Thank's for sharing!❣ I only use watercolour, but learned somthing to. Liked the el- razor, nice touch trough it all.

[@PaintWithPencil]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.

[@NoBagsChecked]

Enjoyed watching you paint … keep the videos coming 😉

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂

[@catbraunwell6450]

Great video. Thanks

[@wtb61]

I need to use mine.

[@christinebarone2151]

I just purchased neo 2. Looking forward to playing with my new “crayons’ lol

[@PaintWithPencil]

Sweet. Have fun with them 😊

[@user-ip6vk9vo9k]

Great demo - How would you frame the neocolor 2 on ampersand board - can you use spray varnish?

[@PaintWithPencil]

Yes. I would recommend a spray varnish. I've been using the Krylon UV Resistant spray to help avoid fading. I've also framed them with simple cheap drop-in frames or I even attempted to make a floater frame so that all the edges of my painting could show.

[@StudioChix]

I was just telling a neighbor and fellow artist how much I love using Neocolor Twos. Do you spray your finished art with a fixative?

[@PaintWithPencil]

Yes. I have sprayed many of them with a protective UV Varnish when I'm done. Especially the ones that go to a new owner. So far I've only tried the Krylon brand.

[@JoyAloha709]

Very interesting! Where is this beautiful place?

[@PaintWithPencil]

Thanks! These are the mountains in Northern Utah.

[@JoyAloha709]

Utah is such a beautiful state! I had the pleasure to visit a few times.
