My favorite NEOCOLOR II Technique

[@johnporter9247]

Really appreciate a tour through your sketchbooks. Congratulations in your obvious skill and seriousness in improving your art. I am grateful for the demo of Neocolor 2 pastels. I have been exploring their uses and this was helpful. Thanks.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful.

The way the lights in the bottle came to life when sprayed with water was so magical 😃🤗

[@oladyhemp]

So true! It impresses me every time. 🫶🏻

[@keva_artwork]

Oh my. This is a great way to do abstract backgrounds with these neocolor II. Thank you for showing this.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much! You are absolutely right that it could be a good background technique for mixed media art.

[@GrandysLaura]

Thank you for showing this technique. It looks like it turns the Neocolor texture into something lighter, more transparent.

[@oladyhemp]

I’m glad you like it!

[@artsy897]

This was so enjoyable to watch. The glow is lovely!

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much!

[@brendaleonard9173]

I enjoyed watching your video. Appreciated seeing your lovely art in your sketchbook pages too!

[@oladyhemp]

I'm so glad! Thank you for your kind words!

[@margaretspringer9197]

Magical effect!

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you!

[@helenag.9386]

Brilliant idea using a used contact lens case for gouache!

[@oladyhemp]

Yes, it surprisingly keeps gouache and watercolor fresh for years! In the second part of this lens case I have some dark watercolor which I squeezed from a tube 5 years ago and barely used it, but it is still soft.

[@Adushka1976]

мне тоже очень нравятся эти карандашики! отличная вещь

[@oladyhemp]

Да, у них большая вариативность использования.

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

Like this, fun to see how You were doing it.

[@oladyhemp]

That is very nice of you to say that! Thank you!

[@helenag.9386]

Your style is so lovely! Soft and dreamy. I thought neocolors were too cartoon-like as crayons but I love them for their convenience. Shame they don't granulate!

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you. Neocolor II is a very versatile material.

[@florepetrus5153]

Love this technique and how your painting turned out! I’ll have to try it with my neocolor 2s. Too bad it’s probably not a great technique to use in a mixed media sketchbook though

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately this technique requires a lot of water which makes it difficult to use in a sketchbook.

[@missdeesaccount]

Beautiful bottle! I love the lights ❤thanks for sharing 😊you make good art❤

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@jlm517rocks]

using the scoring tool is perfect...neo 2's are a fave...made a couple of 'watercolor' air tight palettes & use a waterbrush to paint with (Sophie mcpike inspo)... Appreciate yr talents, tips & tweaks...ty.

[@oladyhemp]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

[@vermiliongamboge155]

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing, Olga. I love your videos.

[@oladyhemp]

Glad you like them! Thank you!

[@mashkin85]

Loved it and already tried it out! Such a delightful video, Olga - thank you for sharing♥

[@oladyhemp]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

[@mychellecobo3422]

Hi, thanks for showing this. I tried this with Albrecht Dürer Aquarell Colored Pencils and it did Not work. Great, to know Neocolor 2 make it. I Like the way you present your Art in the Video 😊

[@oladyhemp]

Glad it was helpful! In my experience Albreht Durer watercolor pencils are not that pigmented as neocolor II. But that’s a good idea to try if it works also for Carandache Watercolor pencils. As I noticed they are the most pigmented among that kind of pencils.

[@mychellecobo3422]

@@oladyhemp On the channel „painting and chocolate” are many videos about using aquarelle coloured pencils. Without this channel I sill wouldn’t know exactly what to with them. I guess there is a big difference between aquarelle coloured pencils and the neocolor 2. I appreciate to have all this possibilities to use for my artworks. People like you give me more ideas and inspiration. That’s great! ❤️

[@lookingup4505]

Thanks for sharing. I will get mine out and experiment. I love your homemade sketchbook at 14:30.

[@oladyhemp]

Thanks a lot! I love making sketchbooks.

[@Angela-jy8um]

Nice! I've never seen anyone use neo 2s this way. Thanks for sharing.

[@oladyhemp]

Me too. That’s why I decided to share it here. Thank you so much for watching!

[@polly5766]

Thanks olga. Thats magic.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you!

[@robertadrsvensson]

I didn't know you had a YT channel! I follow you on Instagram and I love your art. Please continue creating videos here 🥰

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much!!

[@dianegibbs]

Awesome sketchbooks! You are an incredible artist and illustrator

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much!

[@Trth1707]

Very beautiful, unexpectedly so.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you!

[@vaninafernandez3043]

I dilute them with an almost clogged waterbrush

[@oladyhemp]

That’s a good technique too! Thank you for sharing!

[@michellekoch1521]

I think you would have more control by just wetting the brush and painting on things. Interesting process though. Looks antique.

[@oladyhemp]

You are absolutely right! Whenever I need more control I would definitely use the brush technique like with watercolor. Here I just wanted to show the technique with less predictable results.

[@Alla_Kolerskaya]

Плохая бумага, попробуйте на Сандерс Ватерфорд

[@oladyhemp]

@@Alla_Kolerskaya спасибо за совет! Мне тоже эта бумага не нравится для акварели. Но на удивление с неоколорами она взаимодействует отлично. А Сандерс я для акварели приберегу. На мягком хлопке в этой технике не такой эффект получается, как я хочу.
