Let's Play With Crayons

[@LinCarmer]

Many years ago I took a watercolor course in college. I barely passed. Now with all the many materials available PLUS your fun instructions I’m learning whole new methods and having FUN. I even paint the envelopes for my rent checks just to make the paying less painful😊

[@KoosjeKoene]

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this. Makes me happy!

[@UJB123]

This was excellent! Thank you 😊 I'm going to give that a go with my Neocolor sets ... they've just been sitting around on the shelf. Now, I know. Thanks again.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Have fun!

I love seeing the abstract paintings in your background. Could you share how your drawing practice informs your abstract painting? Your videos always motivate and inspire me.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thank you so much. I like working on large canvases, because it's so very different from my sketchbook practice. I am still too much of a beginner to even understand whether or not my drawing practice informs my abstract painting.

Oh, wow! This is so nice. I was JUST getting ready to order the Neocolor I crayons (I have the Neocolor IIs) when you said any cheap crayon would do. Just last night I found a box of Crayola's hiding in my craft box! I cannot wait to get home to try this out. Love your videos. Great tips always given.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Oh, good! It'll be great to dust them off an put them to use. And combine them with the water-soluble crayons too.

[@TerriChannel]

Thank you, Koosje! I painted along and loved this video. It was so much fun!!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@loveandlife4222]

Fun video. Thank you! I have neocolor II’s. When I use them I like to put the crayon down and then activate it with my brush. They are gorgeous when activated.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I know right? so bright and colorful!

Caran d’Ache Neocolors cost more but I love that they are built to have excellent lightfastness and function more like a fine artist’s material. (Of course anyone can use any crayon if they aren’t selling their original work or if they are scanning it to make a digital result.)

[@KoosjeKoene]

True!

[@pascalineh4792]

Merci 😊. I was wondering that if you use crayons do you seal it with spray? Thank you

[@KoosjeKoene]

No, I don't.

[@marzam6369]

So are the Neo1 a lot softer ?

[@KoosjeKoene]

softer than what?

[@marzam6369]

@@KoosjeKoene than Neo2 or there is no difference?

[@KoosjeKoene]

@@marzam6369 They are both soft and creamy. I is water resistant, II is water-soluble.
