beautiful but NOT water-soluable! . I ordered these crayons thinking that they would be similar to the Neocolor II, which are effectively watercolor crayons and can be diluted with water and used like a watercolor paint/pencil.
These are NOT water-soluable- in fact, they heartily resist water! They are very sturdy and high quality crayons, beautiful shimmering colors. In order to "wash" them you will need to purchase a "blending pen" (I found mine in the art aisle at a local Michael's- it's designed for use with colored pencils) or a can of Gamasol mineral spirits and use it with a paintbrush. I also tried using a blender pencil with them (used for color pencils, also found in art aisle at Michael's) with no luck. I'm not sure how a blender pen for markers would work.
If you like the look of crayons or pastels, and are willing to purchase the tools you would need to blend these crayons, I recommend them. But they definitely aren't watercolor crayons!
