Drawing on a Heated Mat With Neocolor 1 Crayons!

[@SmillyDonut]

Really nice to see a different approach to using these. And some great commentary on their uses, as well as a comparison to other similar products. Would love to see more crayon and/or oil pastel drawings/paintings.

Heated mat is genius!

[@emmaw6819]

What a good idea with the heated mat, i never wouldve though of it!

[@ciairamonet8488]

Thank you so much for doing this video. Now I have so many more ideas on how to use my crayons. The first time I used them I did accidentally sharpened them. I saved the precious shavings in plastic jewelry bead containers. I added a little mineral spirits to it and it worked like a paint. I did an entire picture, but with the other colors I needed I just dipped my brush into the mineral spirits touched it to the crayon and then used it as”paint” for my picture. Again, thank you kindly for the video 😊

[@karinberonius8799]

What a great idea!

[@ciairamonet8488]

@@karinberonius8799 When I first sharpened them a lot of shavings came off and I did not want them to go to waste. I put them in those little sealed plastic bead containers and depending on how much odorless mineral spirits I added it was either more opaque or more translucent. Went on beautifully smoothly with a paint brush.. I know that it’s not the intended way to use them so that is why I’m glad Leslie showed us the proper way. But it’s always good to know more than one way to use things so as not to go to waste 😊

Hi Lindsay are right!!! It's very beautiful crayon coloring. The result is very nice! It seems real. Beautiful crayons!!! Beautiful cherry 👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💖💖. Hi Lindsay

[@theresesprinkle2103]

Thank you for the great idea of using a heat bad for coloring. Outstanding job young lady.

Your cherries and leaves are absolutely gorgeous. I'd forgotten how large cherry tree leaves are - haven't had a cherry tree since I was a kid. The crayons really look like something I'd enjoy. I don't know why but I was thinking about your antique door that you did with pastels, wondering how well you could paint/mix rust and patina with these crayons. (By the way, I forgot to vote for a watercolor of that door - yes, please! I'd love to see your interpretation of the door in watercolor!😊)

[@makeupisluv]

I can always tell that something is your artwork because of all the highlights. I love it! :)

[@starr-starr]

Fantastic! I was thinking of ordering a reptile heating pad, or seed starter pad, but I think I will dig out my own heating pad first and try with a clipboard

[@SmillyDonut]

That's such a good idea.

[@starr-starr]

The heating pad/clipboard worked very well with my Prismacolors and my Polychromos too. And Amazon had a very decent price on those Neocolor I’s, unfortunately they found their way into my cart…

[@zeldacheri]

Thank you for this demo! Never would have thought to use my Prismacolors with these, nor blend them out with Gamsol or other solvent. Will have to give it a go with the set I received as a gift some years ago.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

They blended so creamy like, never thought to use a heated pad, great idea :)

[@thoughtfulwatcher]

Same here! This is a fantastic idea.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Loved the cherries and leaves, Lindsay! Helpful tips and info... Thanks for posting…

[@lindadechow3703]

Oh my goodness, and I adore just playing with crayons! Most definitely must have these. Here I thought I had all the media. LOL. You are very fun to watch, also. So that mat idea is a good one, I will check it out. Thank you. I think most of what I have learned over the years about media is from your videos.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@jennw6809]

I have a seedling heating mat and it is totally flat, I'm going to have to try this!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Nice!

Beautiful cherries, Lindsay! Great idea using the heated floor mat. Tfs.

Really good idea using a heating pad underneath.
Beautiful painting.

[@loke-art7383]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@ciairamonet8488]

Having had these crayons for a long time but never really using them I tried your idea of a heating pad. It didn’t work with a clipboard but it did work beautifully with a thin cookie sheet. That transferred the heat beautifully while not becoming too hot. Mine was Teflon and it did not scratch it, but it could always be turned upside down if needed.

[@michellemakeitup1419]

I really like how you blended the highlight with your finger. Great video.

[@joycebrake9208]

[@staceymcghee77]

Great idea. Beautiful!

[@lisah336]

I prefer peeling off the paper and breaking them in half. Then draw more like a pastel or charcoal. Makes the stick different than a pencil.

[@nighthawksblues3081]

That looks great! 😃

I enjoyed that. Thank you x

[@Yukime92]

I’ve seen videos of people using colored pencils with the super thin heating mats for reptiles.Those mats are under $10 on Amazon I think. I’ve been tempted to try it

[@colorsbyleyna7318]

I've been using neocolor1 for awhile so many reasons to love them 💕 I wish they had as many colors as the neocolor2.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I think they used to. Do you remember there being more?

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Wow,Lindsay! I’m impressed! I didn’t think you’d remember.

Oh this is great, my hands thank you for experimenting with the heating pad & these wonderful crayons! I love Caran D’ache luminance pencils, I’m guessing the heating pad would work with these as well. I will definitely apply this technique! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge, time, talent, & creativity!!! Blessings!!!

[@nanschifris8734]

I love the idea of working on a heated surface and was not familiar with that before watching this video. The heated foot mats are more than I'd like to spend - $40+ on Amazon. I did find heated seedling mats for as little as $11 on Amazon. The surface is smooth, but not hard, so I don't know how well it would work for drawing. Anyone tried something similar?

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

I have an old griddle for this

[@familyfamily2024]

❤️😘😍

[@beckc6687]

Nice video. Have you tried this with colored pencils? I wonder how it compares to an Icarus board which is out of reach for a lot of us.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, works great!

[@michellehoward96]

Gorgeous! Please could you give me more information about the paper you use? There are so many different types of paper. Many thanks

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It's called sketch/skizzle form hahnemulhe

There is a device know as an Icarus board it was invented by ester roi
