Fun with this little Neocolor II sketch, and seeing how the paints I made with some of them three months ago have fared.
At the time I added a drop of 100% Pure Rose Geranium Essential Oil into each paint well.

I disagree about the landscape, I think you have a lovely touch and I am also in awe of how - suddenly - your picture develops perspective and the tree nestles into the frame. I'm learning such a lot from you Helen, thank you!

The way you layer your materials in every piece is super inspiring. I picked up my soft pastels the other week and used them in a piece so thanks for that little confidence boost!

I started sharpening my crayons into little containers from our dollar store. I love mixing my own colors and you are correct, the set is lacking a dark green that doesn’t have a lot of blue in it.

It was good to see you use your Neocolor II paint palette. I then checked to see my Neocolor II paint palette. Mine wasn’t moldy or anything since I didn’t use water in the process to make the palette. I used a heat tool to warm up and soften the pieces of Neocolor II which I then pushed into my palette with my fingers. Nice landscape. ❤

Oh that sounds great! I think I made mine in the least efficient and messiest way possible!! At least it still worked!

So happy you used Neocolors! I have them and haven’t really used them like that! You know I’m going to step into my Neo colors soon! I’m hesitant to make a pallet, but with this encouragement I Wii Try! I’m also avoiding the art store, and need to use what I have! Thanks. Karen Dirmish, learner!

I think they're so versatile! If you make your palette, and let the paints soak longer than I did, you can get even creamier, more opaque paint too.

I liquefied mine in dropper bottles. I don't recommend it, but it worked. Then I pour it into pans. That worked beautifully. I thought about sharpening them and wasn't sure about cleaning the sharpener. The painting turned out pretty. I'm in Illinois,US, so the scene is very welcoming as we brace for a big snow tomorrow.

Loved the landscape. It’s interesting that you were able to use neocolor 2 from a dried pallet. I didn’t have such good results with my gouache dried pallet. It didn’t rewet well. It absorbed the water but remained crumbly. Maybe it was the brand. Your work is lovely! ❤

@helencryer 7 ай бұрын

That's a shame! I got on pretty well with my dried gouache palette - I did a video on it here, in case you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqeJdZmbtrHQkas.html

That’s great that you were able to rewet the neocolour 2s and use them after this much time! Lovely landscape 😊. I’ve never sharpened my neocolour 2s, I think I’d have to buy a dedicated sharpener as I’m not sure I have one free and wouldn’t want to use the same ones I use for pencils.

@helencryer 7 ай бұрын

I just used the same sharpener I use for pencils! I figured any Neocolor 2 residue will just come off on the outer sharpenings of the next pencil.

The picture is great and really shows what the Neocolors can do. I need to try to remember to save the shavings. For me the big set of Neocolor 2’s that I purchased this year was one of my better decisions!! I love them.

I'm glad you revisited these... I had been wondering how they would work out long-term (whether they would last). I like the way you also use the original stick form for details... a great way to keep the palette cohesive!

@helencryer 6 ай бұрын

Ah good! I think the paints could have been a bit more opaque too, if I'd allowed them to soak a little longer.

I know if you want to have a dry wash palette. If you add a little bit of blending medium into the wet paint when it dries out, it doesn’t crack and split out, learned that as a tip from a few other artists, I wonder if this could work for theseor maybe even some glycerin or gum Arabic I like to use clothes oil it smells amazing
