Sketching and Mixed Media: They are ideal for sketching and can be integrated into mixed media projects, providing additional texture and colour depth.
Watercolour Techniques: By wetting the pastels after application, artists can achieve fluid watercolour effects, making them a popular choice for landscape and abstract paintings.
Layering and Texturing: The ability to use the pastels dry allows for layering and building texture in artwork, which many artists find beneficial for achieving complex visual effects.
The main difference between Caran d’Ache Neocolor I and Neocolor II pastels is that Neocolor II are water-soluble while Neocolor I are not.
Key Differences
Water-solubility: Neocolor II pastels can be used dry or wet, allowing artists to create watercolor effects by applying water to the pastel. Neocolor I pastels are not water-soluble.
Techniques: The water-solubility of Neocolor II enables techniques like sketching, layering, glazing, scraping, and monotyping. Neocolor I are limited to dry techniques.
Versatility: Neocolor II can be used on a wider variety of surfaces including paper, cardboard, glass, wood, and fabric. Neocolor I are best suited for paper.
Appearance: When water is applied to Neocolor II, the colours become more vibrant and take on a watercolour-like appearance. Neocolor I maintain their pastel look when used dry.
Similarities
Pigment Quality: Both Neocolor I and II use high-quality pigments that provide excellent lightfastness and color saturation.
Texture: The pastels have a soft, velvety texture that produces no dust, making them comfortable to use.
Packaging: Neocolor sets come packaged in convenient metal tins for portability.
