    These crayons are the one art supply that I want to buy whenever I see them because they just look so beautiful, but I've had a smaller set and wasn't able to find a way to use them. I think a lot of people feel this way because very rarely do the neocolors that people show in videos look used. Your small set absolutely is an exception here. Not judging anyone because that's exactly how it was for me. Just an observation that I've made.

    Neocolor IIs are a pleasure to use and to look at, and while they are pricey, they make up for the high cost with their longevity, as you don't need to lay down much pigment for strong color payoff. They are semi-opaque when laid down thickly, almost like gouache paint, but thin layers can be made to look identical to watercolor washes.

I bought the 30 set and used them to do a background on one of the Maria Trolle books, and I fear I wreaked the page, all streaky and patchy,so then tried to make some improvement with soft pastels, not to mention the buckling of the paper. I Certainly need more practice with them. I must go back and have a look at the video you made using them, 💖

    I was buying the Neocolor 2's from open stock and went back to pick up a few more. I "discovered " 😉 I liked them all! Blick's, love that store, had them on sale, so I ordered the 84 set. It was on backorder. But it's Blick's, so I could still order it at the sale price! Caran d'ache had discontinued their 126 piece set and I found one on Ebay and ordered it! Thinking I would cancel my Blick order, but it arrived much earlier than promised. I couldn't ask them, in good conscience, to take them back. I'm still excited by the beauty of them all.🙃 I guess they take me back to my childhood and I remember the amazing feeling I had when getting and holding the new and bigger box of crayola crayons, my first art supply. I wish you an amazing, incredible and exciting experience with your neocolor 2's. From my studio to yours, Fran
