You can find a real time lesson on this painting, as well as 50 others, in Critique Club: lindsayweirich.teachable.com/...
*This new lesson covers everything you need to know about getting started in watercolor crayons. I hope you enjoy it!
As for watercolor crayon recommendations, my first choice is Caran Dache: shrsl.com/2ugxf , as they have open stock and sets, and the quality is outstanding. Another very comparable budget alternative to Caran Dache is the Lyra watercolor crayons available in sets: shrsl.com/2ugyj They are about 95% as good for half the price
*But if you want a really budget alternative you can try the Crayola Portfolio water-soluble oil pastels, they are awesome and a good way to test out this type of medium for a song: shrsl.com/2ugxy
If you want to transfer a pattern to a toned surface white transfer paper is handy: amzn.to/3bLOJzi

Semi-random tip: next time you paint your wall red or orange, get the primer tinted with some red too. I'll look pink, of course, but the transparent red will cover better because it's not reflecting stark white 😋

Sorry to ask but can you please do more tutorials like this, I've had the 84 set for years but have only used them a couple times because I just don't really know what to do with them

"Why don't I use there more?" - LOL, I think this is what we all ask ourselves about our wc crayons. They seem to be this amazing medium that everyone loves but rarely ever actually uses. I also have the Neocolor 2 and I absolutely LOVE them, but somehow I usually end up reaching for regular watercolors or even watercolor pencils more often. The crayons are so good though!

I really love how the Neocolor II's look when I use the Derwent Inktense pencils for underpainting...it makes my ok art look like I know what I'm doing! LOL

You are going so fast….are you using a brush? What kind?

Very helpful video, but I don't think you took a breath once. After a while, it wore me out! 😅

I'm a big fan of NII watercolor crayons, but it took me several attempts to realize something you've also mentioned in the video: if I'm not happy with how the drawing has tuned out, it means it needs more layers! I have a very limited collection of individually purchased colors, but they're so easy to mix that it's really all I need. They're a lovely medium for quick art studies and art journaling.

Love my Neocolor 2...all the Caran D’Ache are “the best” and a bit pricey...but really worth it. But I’m lucky to have a local art supply store that carries them open stock. So when they put them on sale ($1.80?) or even not, I can afford to build my set a few at a time. I have around 30 or so now. I’ve got to do that with their other color products too. Thanks Lindsay! Great instruction! You just make everything so accessible. 👍

quick tip if you're using the watercolor pencils, if I have any break I keep the tips as well as the shavings if I need to sharpen a lot on a color and can use them later for washes etc. If you are like me and have a fair number of different sets a single palette won't do it all so I keep them in very small ziploc bags or an old pill bottle and only put them in a palette when I need to use them. Quick tip with the broken pieces I crush them up a bit first using an old pill crusher. Hope that helps!!

i have the larger set, and I too rarely use them but, They are great for taking to a museum. Here in NYC, you can't take liquid, or watercolors, or inks, into the museum, but crayons, they are permitted. Draw at an exhibit and activate later.

Another great video and right on time for me. I was feeling a little down, and then I saw the notification. Your chipper happy disposition always puts me in a better mood and makes me want to create. Thank you for the videos.

@therisingphoenixlovedbynat121

Ok I’ve never seen these used like this and now the price tag makes way more sense. Wonderful video thanks for sharing❤

It's fun to watch the poppy develop into such a beauty. Can't imagine achieving anything even close, but do enjoy seeing it happen.

@crimejunkie1 3 года назад

Oh wow I have these and totally forgot about them 😮 I remember they were spendy too. TFS beautiful.

@maryellenshippee8676 3 года назад

Oh my goodness. Love watching your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your vast amount of knowledge. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. ❤️

@ireneurban3599 3 года назад

what a glorious flower😍 and neocolors at their best! I love these crayons, but I have not yet seen such a pleasing example as yours, thank you for demonstrating!

@rhondita95 3 года назад
