I remember being able to buy those NeoColor Caran D'ache sets for $3.99 at gift shops! Good to know they're still around!

You can put the shavings into a watercolour pan ( or one of those daily pill containers, cheap from the chemist), add a little water and stir with a wooden skewer, and then you can use them like a watercolour

Thanks for the tip! I think that's a good idea, I have a little plastic box which I think would be perfect for this! ✨️

I don’t understand this tip many people make. If I want to paint from a pan I have plenty of palettes like that already. Is there something special about these colors shaved into a pan?

@@LCLand no, nothing special. It just means that if you sharpen your neos you don't waste the shavings. Also, by having a little palette of them, like a travel palette for instance, you’ve got a small handy box of them that takes up less room on the go. Personally I hate wasting any paint, so saving the shavings is a great idea 👍

@@LCLandThey are also more opaque like gouache and several artist cut off small pieces and put in a half pan and even mix colors to make a palette personalized for them. Like having dried gouache that rewets and is thick and creamy and still very opaque where when you dry real gouache down it isn't always that way it's more transparent. It's on my list but I haven't personally done it yet. Cutting off the neo2's takes courage I'm working on building up to it. 😂

The lions are adorable.

OMG, flower cats are amazing

I really love the art you made with the neocolors! It would be also fun to maybe see a skechbook tour oneday

Aw, the little dandelions are so cute (couldn't help myself). I have a palette tucked away that I keep my Caran D'ache shavings in. They rewet well and can be used much like other water soluble paints would.

Thank you so much! And yes I agree, I used the blue shavings for another project and they looked lovely. Just a bit messy! 😆

I order all my supplies online, usually a lot cheaper and since I've been avoiding people like they have the plague, I haven't been sick once 😝

Suppose that is a benefit!! I think I just like to see what I'm buying, and I have a habit of getting more than I need when it's online. 😆 but maybe you're right!

Thanks! I found both sets online in Amsterdam but they don't ship to the US! I've tried ebay and everywhere. Caran D'ache itself is sold out. Oh well. @@washedoutwyvern
