## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly pigmented, melt and blend in water well!
*by A***D on April 9, 2025*

Creamy, water soluble crayons. Nice pigmentation. I tried this small set to use much like pastels, and I like them. They blend well and don't get muddy. Easy to blend with a little water. I will probably get a larger set. These are fun and they go great with watercolors, Brushes and other powdered watercolors, great in mixed media, too! Resist with watercolor resist or other resists that work with watercolors, like oil pastels, wax crayons, etc.These are very nice, well pigmented crayons! These are professional quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love them!
*by D***L on April 8, 2025*

I had been wanting to try the neocolor II water soluble wax pastels for years now and decided to finally try them. I saved up and got the largest set because I knew if I got the smaller one I’d regret not getting the largest. And I’m so glad I did. These are so fun to work with. Incredibly pigmented and very easy to melt down with water. I really like using them for larger areas but they work just as well for small details as well. As with all caran d’Ache products, these are incredibly high quality and a joy to work with.If you’re great at color mixing, you probably don’t need the full set. But if you like having convenience colors and have the extra money to spend, I’d get the larger sets. I also have the caran d’Ache mixing palette which has a textured side that you can rub the pastels down onto and then add water and use like traditional watercolors. I really enjoy using them that way as well as putting them down on paper and adding water. Highly recommend if you aren’t a traditional crayon or pastel user but you want to add them into your art supply rotation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love
*by M***T on July 31, 2025*

I love all Caran d'Ache products and these are no exception. They are of the highest quality and they give me joy : ) So, even though they are very expensive I buy them because I have not found a similar product that is better and cheaper. If I could only have one of their products it would be the Neocolor I Wax Pastels (opaque, buttery crayon, with rich pigments and they don't smear like pastels. I love sketching with these). I have used this Neocolor II Aquarelle set and their Aquarelle colored pencils and if the water soluble is what you need these are the best (IMO).
