Review on 🎨 Vibrant Water-Soluble Pastels by Caran d'Ache: Classic Neocolor II, 15 Colors by Shawna Lamb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tip: The 84-color set consists of two trays stacked on top of each other

in their colors and even thought of as a fake set. The packaging is pretty cool, but apparently not intuitive for some! First tip: don't throw away the cardboard around the can. Cut it into pieces and inside you will find a nice color chart to color in. Then it can fit in a jar. I colored the full hexagons and painted the right halves with water and a brush. Second tip: Open the jar and lift the top metal shell (not just the plastic part) to reveal the second shell underneath. The top shell then fits comfortably into the opened lid, giving you access to a full palette of all 84 colors at once.

Pros
  • Neocolor II pastels have exceptional hiding power and can be used both dry and wet on a wide range of materials
Cons
  • Miscellaneous other
