The difference between Neocolor I vs. II crayons + Making art on the go

[@robinhoward5987]

That cobalt goes SO creamy and was the first art supply I fell in love with. I'm buying a couple of Neo II's every blick order, and prussian blue hit me like the cobalt...rich, creamy, gorgeous. I'm a red girl at heart, but those two blues make me SO happy.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ah, I get it! Cobalt + Prussian Blue are total heart-stealers! 🎨💙 Reds better watch out! 😉

[@juliamarsh9536]

The one on the left reminds me of our Dog Rock icon in Albany, Western Australia. Such luscious colours 🤩

[@jackieschomburgart]

Wow, Dog Rock sounds iconic! Thanks for sharing that, and for the kind words! ✨

[@jerigale7188]

Fun video. Watched when it came out and enjoyed seeing it again today!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Aww, thank you, Jeri! 🥰 So glad it’s worth a second watch! 🎥✨

[@susannelund-petersen3307]

Hi Jackie! I also just bought these! Take a look at the clear stickers that came in the box. They are meant to stick on the front of the can box to show neocolor I OR II 😃 Love your videos! Love from Denmark

[@jackieschomburgart]

Haha! Thanks - I figured it out 🤣 LOVING the simple clear stickers and my shiny new crayons. Hope you’re loving yours too! ❤️

[@Katherine_AZ]

Hi Jackie … the newer red boxes always come with a set of clear stickers so you can mark the box I or II…

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oooooh, so that’s what the stickers are for! Lol far makes sense 😆😆😆

[@ivywreden6330]

Love my water soluble ones I may need to get the Neo 1 water resistant ones next. What fun thanks for the great idea, I may use my water color small sketch book or mixed media book fir this idea. Such vibrant I stand colors.

[@sharoncramer7037]

Your scribbles are so gorgeous and fun!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Aww, thanks Sharon! Your words made my day! 🥰

[@AliceDel]

nice scribble!! i started my neocolor ii collection with that same set of 15. i have at least twice as many now, by getting individual crayons in open stock (Blick). i don't have any neocolor i's because i like *everything* to move with water! :) if you ever buy single crayons..., chinese green, saffron and jade are some of my favorite colors. thanks as always for all the inspiration.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oooh, thanks! I’ll look those colors up! I do buy singles sometimes, but usually just black and white since I go through them so quickly 🤣

[@tinachristensen7717]

Hi Jackie, this has inspired me to get out my neocolors 1 & 2 and play! And to make a little travel kit which will make it easier to throw in my bag whenever I want.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Love your idea, Tina! 🖌️ Neocolors make spontaneity stylish! Have fun creating your travel kit!

[@mrs_h_makes]

I love neo 2’s.. so easy to use, smooth and love that I can draw and paint all at the same time

[@jackieschomburgart]

Awesome choice! 🎨✨ Neo 2's are a game-changer, right? 🙌

[@mrs_h_makes]

@@jackieschomburgart absolutely.. only recently got them and already can’t be without

[@Meganthamac]

4:18 The stickers are labels for the new tins! 🎉

[@jackieschomburgart]

So exciting! 🎉 Can’t wait to see those new tins in action!

[@sarac402]

I’ve wanted to know the difference between 1’s and 2’s for so long. Thank you for explaining and showing us how they work! Love how free your sketching is. After putting off buying these for years I’m now inspired to go and get them! Many thanks!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yay! Go get them! 🛍️ Thanks for the love! ❤️

[@sarac402]

@@jackieschomburgart 😃❤️👍🏻

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Those Neo II's have such vibrant colors! Wow!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Right? Neo II's colors are a game-changer! 🖌️👏

[@shaunnalyons4436]

Oh the colors. I have a few caryon d’ache neo color crayons and I love them. I recently bought crayons and it was kind disappointing because they just don’t have the pigment load. Super fun and relaxing to watch you unbox. Thank you. 😊

[@jackieschomburgart]

The crayon struggle is real! 😅🖍️ Glad you enjoyed the unboxing!

[@jackieschomburgart]

The neocolors really do look and feel good, don’t they? ❤️❤️❤️

[@tuberdawn]

You could put the new crayons on the old boxes to keep organized

[@jackieschomburgart]

Yes! I may do that!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I bought Inktense Blocks about five years ago and I still have my original set! Derwent makes these and pencils a'plenty. A very smart investment. 😊

[@jackieschomburgart]

Impressive! Those Inktense Blocks are keepers for sure. Enjoy creating! 🖌️😊

[@shaunnalyons4436]

I used my friends inktense pencils and they were great. I want all the art supplies. We all feel this way right?? 😂

[@peggylee5021]

I love the Neocolor II but haven't used them much - never thought of creating an entire page so thanks for this video.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Have fun! They just feel so good, gliding on top of the paper! ❤️

[@doloresh.4515]

Great video. I’ve started carrying a 4x4 sketchbook & a pencil case around with me just this month which is a great tool. I love my Caren d’ache II neopastal crayons Great idea and it will make waaiting for appointments etc. much easier. Thanks.

[@jackieschomburgart]

So great! It really makes time fly by in waiting rooms! 🤗🤩❤️

[@lionunderthestars7019]

Hi, Jackie I am so much of a homebody I haven't done much with travel art materials, but I think I prefer a pocket size water color set, water brushes and a black pen. I do have Neocolor II's and love them, but it wouldn't be long before I found a melted mess if I tried the outdoor thing. I loved listening to the kid noises as a background in this video. Perfect for the video. Nancy

[@jackieschomburgart]

lol I can relate to the homebody part, for SURE! Sometimes it’s just nice to have them handy even if I arrive early to an appointment or have to go to the DMV 😆❤️❤️❤️

[@CamLek-x8v]

So inspiring!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks a bunch! 😊 Happy to inspire! ✨

[@blueislandgirl_]

Love these! thank you

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad - You’re welcome! ❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

Love this Jackie!!! ❤❤❤ Still riding the train, so maybe it's time I tried it. Be well!

[@jackieschomburgart]

It’s a really nice way to start the day (though I can’t promise you won’t walk into the office with crayon on your hands… 😆)❤️❤️❤️

[@PaulWalesArt]

@@jackieschomburgart LOL... well if I can provide entertainment it's all good.

[@jackieschomburgart]

@PaulWalesArt 😆😆😆

[@DrummerGrrrl]

You could use acrylic paint and then use Crayola crayons as a resist...cool textures and ideas. I learned the crayon resist technique from Dan Tirels.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks for the tip! Can’t wait to try it out myself. 🌟🖌️

[@shaunnalyons4436]

Thats why I bought some. I’m still not sure I know what I’m doing with the resist part. I’ll look for videos. Thanks. 😊

[@serenasimms3573]

I stuck the sticker that is inside the tin on the outside of each tin to identify what is what

[@jackieschomburgart]

That's clever! 🖼️ Making sure everything's labeled neatly, I see! 😊

[@barbclark69]

Fun, Jackie. Thanks for the video. The Neocolor IIs are also available singly at our local art store, so that might be an avenue for folks who want to try them without buying the set. Just buy the three primary colors and three secondary colors. Not sure if the Neo Is are available singly.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Great point! Both I and II are available as singles at Blick! ❤️

[@LindaDiaz-l2b]

This reminds me of the beach

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you, Linda! 🌊 Beaches are the ultimate inspiration-so soothing and beautiful! 🌴✨

[@kinamonsterrawr]

I always have paper and markers with me. Clearly I'm going to need a bigger purse though because those look fun. 😂

[@jackieschomburgart]

Haha! I mean, it’s not such a terrible thing to have a reason for a new purse, is it? 🤣🤣🤣

[@CathSheard]

Loved watching you test them out. I have some but here in New Zealand they’re even pricier. The set of 15 is $73!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh goodness!! 😳 That is way too fancy for crayons! 😅

[@nancyklich6757]

Stickers have tape on them. Put the stickers on the appropriate box.

[@nancyklich6757]

I mean type.

[@jackieschomburgart]

You’re 1000% right - I figured it out after the video 😆😆😆

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

Maybe put the new crayons in the old box? Swap them out? Just an idea...

[@jackieschomburgart]

Totally doable! Someone just let me know that the stickers I rushed past actually become labels for the tins so you can tell the difference 😅🤗

[@moppeliini6614]

They come with sticker to clue to the box.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Love those little extras! Stickers FTW! 🥳✨

[@foreveryoung4980]

interesting video, neocolors crayons are not too expensive, all art supplies are expensive --watercolor tubes 10 bucks each, I used to paint in watercolors, they all dried out and i have to be careful to open them to use them again, we have to pay price for the pleasure

[@jackieschomburgart]

You said it! 🎨 The cost of art supplies is a small price for the joy they bring! 😊

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Also, comparison shopping is important here. At least in the United States, one can compare prices from Blick, Jerry's Artarama (silly name!), Cheap Joe's Art Supplies, Amazon. etc .

[@nicoleperron3315]

Oh wow I just checked they're 45.00 and 65.00 dollars here for 15 crayons I wish they were 20.00 and that's before taxes and shipping.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh shoot! Where are you located? Is that just on Amazon? If so, perhaps a local art store has them or could order them for you?
