My grandmother made cards for everyone in the family for holidays. She just passed and left me many of her art supplies. She left an almost untouched full set of these. They are really intimidating for me but hopefully with these videos I can understand how to use them and make something in memory of her and get good use of them ❤

I’m so very sorry for your loss, but how wonderful to keep on her artistic legacy! I’m sure it’s intimidating at first but hopefully once you start using them it’ll get easier and I bet your grandmother would be so happy to know they’re getting used ❤️

If you sharpen your pastels, you can use a knife to to it. Then save the shavings to use as paint by just adding water to the left over shavings. That way, you don’t waste any of the pastels.

4:39 I fullheartedly agree, when you badly need a sharp edge just use piece of paper or a ruler to block out the edge line. In oil pastel world we use stencils a hell lot, they are an enormous fun to include in the process. When you need a thin line, you can cut the stick diagonally and you will have fantastic tool to draw thin lines.

3:17 At last someone who re ognized that Neocolor II looks a lot more gorgeous when used as an oil pastel. Use hairspray to remove tackiness. I prefer diluting with alcohol since it dries a lot faster and can be used even on thin 118 g/m2 sketchbook paper. Your video is fantastick you definitely know what you are talking about. There is class on Domestika by Clara Debray and that class is about Neocolor II used as a pastel. As for prices Neocolor II is significantly less expensive than Sennelier.
@KatieMoody
@KatieMoody Год назад
Yes I really love using them dry as oil pastels compared to wet, and they blend so well anyway! Agreed, much cheaper than Sennelier but a very different texture too!

You can even heat, with a simple kitchen candle, up the tip of the stick and apply impasto, you can even use a painting knife. In your next video, this was brilliant, anyway, you can demo sgraffito. The trick is that, first you paint a base layer, optionally fixate it with a gentle spray, and then paint over that layer and scratch back. I use a ceramic blade pen cutter, Slice.

11:04 far the most useful video about Neocolor II. As for fixative, just use hairspray, its human friendly, works even better than brutal art store chemicals. All pastellists I know use hairspray. I spray all my sketchbook drawings, two light layers are enough and no smearing.

Great video Katie! And I loved seeing the process of the DTIYS 🥰 A couple of ways I also like to use the neocolors - I love using them on their side to get a fatter softer line, I like to do this for clouds especially! And it makes snapping the crayons not so sad. I also like scribbling the neocolor and then going over with pencil, and the pencil only is seen on the areas I missed with the crayon (if that makes sense?) I've been using my neocolors as backgrounds lately (with water) instead of paint as it's so much quicker. They really are awesome materials.

Absolutely love this video. Your bird is gorgeous. I made one very similarly a while ago by colouring small areas in different, vibrant shades. I did a grosbeak on some rocks with wet and dry leaves draped over parts of the rocks by also colouring both with many different smaller areas of colour. The difference between yours is that I used my non water soluble prismacolour pencils. I have a heavy hand in that I love the look of opaque, rich colour without transparency. It is so much fun to blend and put my colours right next to each other without interfering at all with each other. So far I haven't broken anything but the points at times, but I still hate doing that and wasting the point colour. I've learned a lot from this and can't wait to bring out my neos and do the same thing with them. XOXOJANE
@KatieMoody

Thank you so much, Jane! That sounds amazing - I love building up a rich colour with lots of layering which sounds exactly like your technique too! We don't have Grosbeaks here in the UK but I've just looked them up and what a fantastic bird! Hope you enjoy using your neocolors 😊💜

just a fun little idea 🤗 if you prefer to sharpen but are worried about the waste you can use the shavings of the neocolors and stuff them into a watercolor halfpan and flatten(?) them a bit with a water brush !! they can be used like watercolors and you get a sharper neocolor without the waste 🫶

Thank you so much! I absolutely love the Royal Talens Art Creation sketchbooks because they're so affordable and can handle a lot of my mixed media! The only issue is if you're using a lot of water because it doesn't hand that (or watercolour for example) very well. If you're in the UK, Seawhite of Brighton do great sketchbooks or you could try Hahnemuhle or Strathmore mixed media sketchbooks 😊

Do you recommend getting a smaller set or maybe even individual color of them to try out first or getting a big set at once cause the price is cheaper. I have seen them everywhere lately and definitely want to try out. 🥰
@KatieMoody
@KatieMoody Год назад
Thank you for watching! 😊 I would suggest starting with a smaller set first - or even buying individual shades at first depending on which colours you use. Their standard box of 10 pastels wouldn't work for me as the colours are too bright, but the limited edition Beya Rebai sets of 10 (in either the warm or cold shade set!) would've been perfect for me to try when starting out! Personally I think it's a better way to test them out and experiment with how they'd work in your process, before splashing out on a bigger set in case you're not a fan!

Thank you so much for watching! This fixative has quite a strong odor! I can definitely still smell it on my pages for a while once I've sprayed the sketchbook, but the next day or so I do find it dulls and now I can't tell they've been sprayed at all. Annoyingly every spray I've used has been quite strong odor so I wonder if there's a specific ingredient in there!

Hi!!! Thanks so much for posting this!

@berolinastrassmann
@berolinastrassmann Год назад
You can use them side by side...as they both share a waxy/oily basis...but it would be a waste because the plus of Neocolor II is its ability to be water soluble, which you will not be able to do if you use oil pastels. Perhaps Neocolor I (wax crayon, NOT water soluble) might be a better match to combine with oil pastels.

In a year the 84 have gone up about $100 CAN. Amazon is offering a pay as you go plan. Don't know if they are charging you interest. PS: What paper would you recommend to use.
@KatieMoody
@KatieMoody Год назад
It's a shame the prices have gone up so much, I find that some art materials are harder to get overseas and so sadly they put the prices up higher because of demand! Just had a look on the payment plan on Amazon and looks like they do charge interest - about 12%! I started with the set of 40 and just keep buying individual sticks to top up my collection. I find they work best on smooth paper, so any smooth watercolour paper if you're using mixed media works well! 😊

This is crazy, these Neocolors ii are not made to lay down so much pigment dry, to push so hard and draw with them, really. They are an exceptional product meant to just lay down a small amount and then blend them with water, mostly in bigger areas. They give fantastic results, just like all Caran D'ache products. But not to use them so hard so they will snap and draw an entire bird with them. This way you can use up one in no time at all and the results are not even that nice. Why do that to s quality product? Some people or "artists" they just don't know the right and the wrong way. Too bad. Common sense.

I really disagree - I don't think there is a right or a wrong way with art supplies at all! Isn't that the beauty of creativity? I love that things can be used in different ways, and I'm constantly inspired by seeing other artists use materials in ways I haven't before. It creates new texture and new styles that I find so interesting! If we all created in the same way and used the same techqniues, art would be really boring!

I’ve seen @thefrugalcrafter sharpen her colors onto a palette so she can use her shavings like gouache. Helps with adding details if you use a small brush too!
