About this material
Caran d'Ache Neocolor II is a water-soluble wax pastel in a crayon-like stick form. It was first released in 1975. The sticks feel soft and make little dust. They cover the colors underneath well and resist fading from light.
Sets come in 10, 15, 30, 40 and 84 colors, and the 84-color set is also available in a wooden box. Each color is also sold on its own.
Used dry, they work like crayons. Going over the color with a wet brush dissolves it, so it can be blended like watercolor. Besides paper, they can be used on heavy card, wood and fabric.
