Neocolour II

I have been doing a little gardening today...a little Sunday paper reading...a little cooking...a little dreaming and planning for when my garden has a make over one of these days ;)
I also got my collection of Caran d'Ache Neocolour II water soluble crayons together including the metallic ones I bought yesterday and quickly made a colour reference chart in my A5 journal.....I find it a great help to see the colours actually on paper rather than staring at the crayons!!!
I tried not to let them mix into each other too much...but that is one of the things I do like about them....the fact they can mix together on the page and it can always be a bit of a surprise ;)...that and you can also colour a large area really quickly ;) I'm glad I found out about these via Gez and the on-line course from Tam.....thanks girls.


The metallic ones will not show well on the photo but they have a subtle mica sheen to them....not too blingy and in your face! :)

  2. Never heard of these 'til you mentioned going to Totnes. They look super. Also, great idea to put them to paper so you can see the colours. I do that with my Copics and Ranger stuff.
