10 1/2 x 8"Tulips"
Neocolors
This is a painting I did for a demo at the "Art in the Garden" booth at the Mid Atlantic Garden show in York on Friday March 5. I chose to work in neocolors that day because it is a fun medium and easy to take along. When I teach children's workshops, the kids love this medium because they look like crayons but you can also paint with them. You apply the color and can even layer colors on the paper then use a wet watercolor brush to blend the colors. The amount of water you use on the brush determines the opaqueness or translucency of the painting. Here is another painting I did in neocolors.

Neocolors
I love the brilliant colors I can create on flowers with this medium.

Sorry I missed you- could not make it. I will trek down to Hanover when you are on duty in the near future.
I must check into neocolors -especially for the Mechanicsburg Art Center Children's programs.
Beautiful tulips.
I am very interested in Neocolors. Where do you buy them? What beautiful flowers you created with them!
I don't know what "Neocolors" are...but these paintings are bright and beautiful!
Thanks for the comments. If you go to Dick Blick and type in Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons you will see a variety of sets for sale. I'm sure other art supplies have them.
These are beautifully done, Charlotte. I really like the brilliant colors.
Great work on those flowers!
I'm agree - Neocolor is Fun to work with! I have only few selected colors of those and using it in combination with Oil Pastels. Great for painting or underpainting... depends of your needs.
What wonderful, brilliant color! These are beautifully painted, Charlotte.
