Let's Swatch: Neopastels

Neopastels from Caran d'Ache are a surprising new favorite in my sketchbook practice. I recently added a few more to round out my collection, so join me for a few minutes of swatching and chatting about this medium.

I like the NeoColor II for watercolors now I want these, too!

Neocolor IIs are my forever favorites! They are just so versatile. These Neopastels are such fun for an added bit of texture too. I think you'll enjoy them!

Hey
Are you willing to do a paid chidren's book illustration??? It's a small project though.

Thanks for asking, but no. I only work on a few children's books a year and only work directly with publishers for the most part.
