As a designer and artist, I'm absolutely thrilled with the Caran d'Ache Neocolor Pastels (40 Colors)! These vibrant, high-quality pastels have become my go-to tool for creating stunning artwork. The range of colors is incredible, and the blendability is seamless. The pigment intensity is rich and consistent, making my designs pop with depth and dimension. Whether I'm sketching, shading, or coloring, these pastels deliver flawless results. If you're an artist or designer, trust me, you need these in your toolkit - they're the best!

These pastel colors are absolutely amazing! The color is rich and vibrant. They make luscious and creamy marks on paper, yet they are clean and don't leave any unwanted residue, so you don't need to worry about smearing. These are like color crayons on steroids! These soft pastels are waxy and not chalky or powdery. So far, I have done just a bit of doodling, but I am very excited to see what I can create with these pastels. I purchased the 40 color set and the color range is broad with a good variety of hues. It even includes a Payne's grey, which I find quite useful. If you want a real delight in art supplies, I highly recommend Caran DAche Neocolor Pastels!

These crayons are a DREAM- they are so smooth, so creamy, blend so beautifully (even without using colvents or special papers- you just color over another color and rub with your finger or a blending stump and it just dissolves into one another). They work on tons of surfaces. I really thought since I had the Neocolor IIs I had no use for these but these are so great for mark marking and work with both water-based media AND oil pastels and oil paints and color pencil. Be aware that because these are not watersoluable, there will be a resist when you work with watercolors and acrylics, but because they are creamy and NOT oily, it's a wonderful mix of elements.Tpo be honest, just coloring with them on paper is like a tactile dream come true- my only other experience with wax crayons is kids crayons, and these are completely different. They just glide across paper. I love them. I wish they came in a zillion colors.

My son's art teacher told ne about these crayons. They are a bit pricey, but the colors are vibrant and they are wonderful to use. I'm disappointed that some of the crayons were broken when it arrived. I wish the company would use better packaging to protect these crayons.

Item received with no issue. All crayons are in 1 piece with NO broken pieces. Love the colors~! Really excited to start using them.

Saw these in my local bookstore first, felt there had to be a better price. And true Amazon fashion, 30 to 40 dollars less. The are great adult crayons.

Neocolor I crayons truly are wonderful quality. Unfortunately, Amazon shipped the tin of 40 crayons to me in a thin padded envelope, so 2 arrived broken and tin dented. But the product itself is high quality. Very smooth, some of the more pastel colors look great on darker paper too.
