hi everyone its Keren here and welcome back to my channel today I'm really
excited because I am going to do a comparison video between all the
different art crayons that I own and that are on the market so meaning not
all the crayons that are in the market I own but all the ones that I have I've
pulled out there are six different kinds that I'm going to be comparing today
they go by different names depending on the company but they all have a crayon
like consistency and they're water soluble that means that you can blend
them with water and they can be used as watercolors and I am going to compare
different techniques with them not so much the techniques of how to do things
you can go and watch different techniques on how to use each one of
these in separate videos I more want to compare between them doing the same
technique and using the same mediums underneath I'm going to tell you which
ones I'm going to be comparing today I'm gonna be comparing the Tim Holtz
distress crayons the Dina Wakley's scribble sticks, the Marabu art crayons
the Prima marketing water-soluble oil pastels the gelatos and the Derwent
art bars there is definitely other water-soluble crayons out there in the
market like the ink tents and the Neo colours inktense is also buy there went
while the new colors is I can't remember the condom of the company but it can
definitely check those out what I want to do is I'm not gonna be giving you an
opinion I love all of these so I'm not gonna give you an opinion and which one
is the best or which one is the worst that's not the intention of this video
what I really want to emphasize is for you to see how they react in different
different techniques and then you can decide what's most convenient for you
what you would think you would use the most
you could choose like two of them or you know if you maybe don't know how to use
some of these then this is an opportunity to see them and compare them
to others so if you've had some let's say sitting there and you don't know
what to do with them this is a great way of watching this video and learning
or you could just let if you don't have any of these are crayons and you've been
thinking of getting some then you'll know the difference I'm hoping that I
will not say anything opinionated in either way sometimes I go like wow and
amazing but I do love all of these equally so I just want to compare the
different crayons and just not specifically as I said the given opinion
but just to show you that there's different options out there in the
market and I'm gonna try to compare colors that are similar to each other as
much as I can so you can really see the difference so let's get started so for
the first paper that I split into six sections and I put the names on each one
I picked some blue colors from the different sets and at the end of this
video I will definitely talk about the price point and how many communists said
how much it is individually to buy and how it works but right now I'm just
going to experiment with the actual prions and just wanted to let you know
I'm listing all the links to all the products below in the description area
so you can definitely go ahead and choose and pick and decide on price
point depending on what you want to buy if you were looking to buy some crayons
and this is the best this paper is a watercolor paper this is a cold press
watercolor paper this is the Prima marketing one but any of the cold press
ones will work this one is untreated there's nothing on it no just so no
nothing and I just want to show you how they react with this so I'm going to
make some marks this is the gelato then the marabou cream another marabou I did
not have the exact blue so it's gonna have to be this blue now when I am
flying them here the mayor the Emir abou is definitely creamier than the gelato
the gelato is usually very creamy but the marabou seems to be more creamy when
I'm adding its in terms of smoothness let's see about a distress crayon
Oh actually now this is really really also really smooth that distress crayon
goes on really smoothly almost like butter as well so so far this one is
even smoother let's go with the Prima marketing smart kid this is more acts
like a crayon not as smooth as the other ones and then I'm going to do the
scribble sticks this is actually the hardest ones it's almost like a pencil
you can hear it also in the sound right so the smoothness you can hear in the
sound so just in comparing smoothness this is the least smooth out of it this
is this most smooth second and these are about the same and let's see about that
there went art bar yeah it's not bad not as smooth inking also like a cream very
similar to the scribble stick okay so now that I put all six of them I want to
try a couple things I'm actually going to try it with my finger and see what
happens if I can actually blend it so
you can blend but I'm really putting a lot of effort but that has nothing to do
I don't think with the actual crayons you see they blend really nicely but if
I had just two underneath this it would blend better this one is blending a
little bit better yeah so the creamier they are the better the blending yeah
this one is blending as well why did I think this was blue it doesn't look like
blue it looks like black but it is like a dark blue I think okay let's see about
this one so I am putting a lot of effort to blend these but I think that's
because as I said there's no there's no art there's no gesso underneath
I can't blend the scribble stick when there's no gesso underneath same with
the art with it there went one okay so this one blended the marabou blended the
best on on this unprepped watercolor paper now I'm going to try it with a
wipe and I'm going to try on this one so let's see yeah so this one blends and
I'm more looking to see if there's any markings so it blended really nicely
this is the gelato blended really nice certainly and no markings were left on
that so that's nice sometimes there's a lot of lines and markings that are that
stay on marabou beautifully how it blends very
nicely okay let's try with distress crayon oh
there's the blue coming out yeah also blended really nicely on watercolor
paper and let's try the water soluble oil pastel very nicely I mean I think
like when you have the good quality watercolor paper it makes a huge
difference okay let's try this scribble sticks also blends really nicely you
don't see any lines and the last one is the Derwent art bar and as well so in
terms of blending over this watercolor paper this is the cold press watercolor
paper I'm quite impressed with it now we're gonna do the test with the actual
water called water paint brush and I'm going to take this one this one just has
water in it already and I'm going to
blend it together and I want to see what happens when I blend it up beautiful so
the gelatos of course blend up and blend nicely together very nice so
let me just clean the paintbrush and
there we go so a lot of them blend really nicely we've been with water so I
really like that so far so far I love every single one of them I love how they
blend the intensity of it beautifully
okay let's see about the this one the Prima one also really well I put some
more water so obviously the more water you put the more it will blend let's try
the scribble sticks now so the scribble sticks give you a lighter effect because
they don't they don't go as as much I mean you can still see an intense color
in it but it's not it's different you can see it's they're more translucent so
let's go with that the scribble sticks are more translucent let's see about the
Derwent one the Derwent are also more translucent but you can still blend I
like it that you can still blend the colors underneath so that's really
really good so there we go so the comparison so far I mean they're all
amazing to tell you the truth I can't even tell you which one I would choose
over another I really can't but I just really like
this so okay so this is the first test this is on an untreated paper this is a
cold press watercolor I'm going to bring now one that is already treated with
gesso this is also a cold press watercolor but in this case it doesn't
really matter once you put a coat of gesso it doesn't really matter what type
of paper you have underneath as long as it's
coated with just so you're gonna get a different effect so that's the beauty of
it so let's start with this one so I picked some purples because I'm bored of
using the same colors all the time I don't like always using the same color
so I thought I would compare purples instead and this paper is prepped with
white gesso this is the Prima finna bear white gesso and I give it just one coat
and it will give a different effect the blending will be easier and I really
want to talk about why art crayons they are so easy to use the water-soluble
crayons are just easy to apply you can cover a surface really well they're
amazing for writing you can also use them for sort of variety of things so
that's why they're so cool to have because you can use them for so many
different things so I'm going to start again and this time I will start again
with the de purple this is the gelato I'm gonna do the same thing so I'm gonna
create these circles again not as smooth as the other one let's see about the
purple from marabou and the nice thing about marabou you can move them up and
down you can push the tip up I think like the stress Karan's are the crayons
are the same how are the gelatos to the only ones that I like these without that
you have to just peel the paper are these other three okay so variable
crayons yeah very smooth like I said even on the
under white gesso then let me try the Tim Holtz ones
yeah the Tim Holtz ones are actually quite creamy on anything basically
I did the circles backwards but that's okay you'll get you'll get the idea so
let's do the circle the same this way so it doesn't get confused and the last one
is the Derwent and obviously you can see that within the different companies
there is different colors and some of them have so many sets that you can find
a variety of colors of them so for example Tim Holtz has so many sets of
colors well there went or Prima or even the mayor blue crayons and the Dina
weakly come with less less colors less variety so that's another thing if
you're looking for a lot of variety obviously you have to pay for that
variety but if you're looking for a lot of variety then this is the place that
you can you can basically find them this is the Tim Holtz has the most variety in
terms of colors okay so let's start blending with our fingers and it's a
little bit easier to blend this way let me get the wipe so I can especially the
marabou wow this is really blending easily not as easy for the Tim Holtz
which I am surprised I thought it would be same with the prima ones so compared
to this one I remember well we already put water in this but it actually
blended oh no they blended with wipe much easier than obviously with with the
finger but I just wanted now if I wet my finger and I actually apply it you can
get a better blend obviously so the wetter it is the better that's why
they're called water soluble and this one doesn't do it at all so now I am
making mistakes as I see and I'm blending the wrong thing but it doesn't
really matter I just want to show you so for example
with the wipe okay you see how how cool this one
has the jet so you can actually blend and you can actually also remove so the
cool thing about having the cool thing about having gesso is that it blends
really nicely it doesn't blend as intense but it blends really nicely and
you can also remove which is nice if you make mistakes let's try the wipe with
this you see it's like a different effect all together beautifully how they
blend I love it ok so it becomes an actual watercolor before it just became
a blended crayon well now it's an actual watercolor
effect and the lightest one still blends completely but the lightest one is this
one I think the intensity of the crayon so maybe it's the strength of how I put
them makes a difference so in terms of the watercolor now huge difference how
it blends right because you can really create that watercolor effect you
couldn't do that when you didn't have a gesso so I really love the watercolor
effect of this how cool is that so you can create really neat effects with the
watercolor the gelatos especially blended really nicely hold on let me put
some more water so I love how this is giving me a more smooth finish as
opposed to the gelatos are giving me a more of a watercolor effect this one is
more like paint it almost feels like paint it's hard to explain but it feels
like paint let's see about the art crayons
also this is more like paint you see how it's more intense it doesn't give me
that watercolor effect I mean it could but it just continues it has so much on
it that I could paint the whole block with this so it feels more like paint
than anything else let's try with these this is a prima one yeah a little bit
more like watercolor ish let's try with the scribble sticks also very watercolor
it should this one because it's not as intense it really gives you that
watercolor look I really like that as I said I like all of them but some of them
gives you different effects this is why I like having all different ones this
gives you the lightest watercolor out of all of them and that's nice to see as
well so that's really cool I will put these aside just so you can compare the
Jes old one and then on gesso one so this is the gesso you can see let me
compare apples with apples so there is the first two right so they it's more of
a watercolor effect as opposed to an intense effect then you have these two
which is the marabou crayons and the Dena Wakely ones you see the difference
in the effect and really huge difference in terms of the intent I mean that there
went art bar so when you add the water with the gesso was a big difference this
is more like paint while this is more like a watercolor okay so these are the
two that I'm comparing I will put these aside and I'm gonna bring a third one
here for this one I wanted to compare the different Gesell's so you so hard I
added the white gesso and I wanted to see we would work the same on clear just
so so I put a whole clear gesso coat on the background and then
added a little patch of the black just to see how it would react on clear gesso
and how it would react on black gesso and I'm going to switch the colors as
well okay for this one it has the clear gesso as I said and the black gesso and
I grab some green crayons and I'm going to make smaller patches because I want
to try a couple of techniques on them so I'm going to just make small lines here
and the next one is the marabou so obviously there's advantages of and
disadvantages to everything each company makes their own unique way
of making these crayons so you basically have to figure out what you want the
most what kind of things are the most important to you whether it is price
value whether it is intensity of color whether it is what comes how many the
type of colors the amount of colors they come in so there's so many different
things to consider this is why I was saying that you need to figure out
what's the best thing for you oops I just realized I didn't put this one here
so so far they're being applied the same way on the clear gesso and the black
gesso this is clear just so and black gesso from Prima marketing but any clear
gesso black gesso would work so that is fine to do as well so I'm going to go
straight with the watercolors no need to do the wipe test it's probably the same
I just want to go directly with the paint brush and just blend them and of
course you can see that they blend beautifully let's try on the black so
they go beautiful on black as well and you can also use them and blend them on
black let's go to the next one I just wanted to see how far it goes so
I see this kind of they have a lot of pigment all of them do okay so you can
see how far it goes same with this one the marabou ones look
perfectly on black as well so you really see that there is a huge similarity
between all of them and of course I don't know how much I'm applying of each
one on the background so some of them might look like they're not as intense
but that's because maybe I didn't add as much right so you never know you what
you want to see is blend ability you want to see that it looks like
watercolor that you can add it to different things
so that's beautifully as well so really nice to be able to blend these so I
really like all of them and you can see the difference for example this one as I
said before these last two always blend a little bit lighter than all the other
ones which is advantage if you don't if you're scared of doing things and you
don't want to put a lot of color as you can see this is almost translucent you
barely you can barely see it well the marabou you could see it really well I
wonder if it has to do with how much I applied so I'm going to test that I want
to make sure that it's not me putting too little on so I put a lot more now
and you can see they're still becoming translucent so it has nothing to do with
the amount that I'm putting on same with the Dare wind so let's start with this
and go ahead and do experiments at home if you have the other one if you have
the neo colors or you have a inktense then you go ahead and you experiment
with them so the same with these ones that there went is kind of more
translucent which was something that we already saw right we
already knew that they were more translucent another thing that test that
I want to do is the paint test from the are crayons so this is where you get
some wetness hold on I'm gonna get some wetness on this and I want to see if I
paint with them this way so here we go so there we go you see you can you make
your own watercolors with these right you could take pieces of these all of
these and you can make your own watercolor so that's the beauty of them
but you see when you're painting like this the watercolor doesn't show on
black as much let's start with the marabou crayons how it works again same
thing you can really make beautiful watercolors with it so this is really
nice so they don't show on black when you do the watercolors okay let's start
let's take the Tim Holtz crayon same thing so I'm testing that tip to see if
how intense is the watercolor I can create I've seen people put pieces of
the crayons inside little bottles and put in water and mixing it and making
your own spray so there's lots of ideas out there this is why I said this is
only to show you the comparison it's not to give you all the ideas for creating
so all of them have the same similar effect that you can do by painting with
them like this so that's good to know let's see with which one am I missing
all the Dina weakly well so all of them have the same effect
they all are amazing in terms of creating watercolor again following the
same thing these are lighter the last two so if you are looking for something
that is a little bit lighter that is not as intense because
you'll like it when it's lighter than this these are the colors to go with
these are the crayons to go with I meant to say so they all have a similar effect
that way so that's good okay so this is why I cleared it with the clear and
black gesso and I just want to tell you one thing the one thing that thinks that
the gelatos has is it has the metallic colors and I think that the stress
crayon have a couple colors I think they have the gold in the silver but all the
other ones might have it I am actually not sure I know prima dozen Derwent
might have in the inktense ones but not in this art bars but then gelatos have a
set of metallics and I want to show you how nice they look on a black so they're
quite intense and you can kind of see the shininess of them I don't know if
you can on this thing but you can see that there's shinier they're kind of
shimmery and they work well on both white and black obviously yeah but you
really see the shimmery on the black so that's one thing that I wanted to add
that the gelatos have that really nice shimmery color as well as their matte
colors as well okay now I want to work on this distressed paper from Tim Holtz
this is a really high quality paper mixed media paper and also can take
watercolor so I really wanted to compare to see how it looks on this and I picked
some pink colors this time so you could see the difference now the Derwent color
does not have a pink I went with a red in this one another thing I wanted to
say is that the gelatos they come in a bigger size they come in the double
scoop size so you can cover more area especially for large projects so you
could always get those as well the only thing with gelato sisters there's so
many colors they have the regular colors and then they have the metallic colors
the pastel colors them the neon colors they're so so many so it becomes really
expensive when you need to buy but there are so many
and kinds of colors right so if you want to have a lot and you don't care about
how much you're spending so definitely go with something like gelatos or
distress crayons which are have a lot of different colors or you could get a set
like like the Prima one which has 24 colors already or the scribble sticks
have two sets of twelve colors so I'm going to talk about all those after so I
know I get distracted sometimes and go off-topic
but I will compare these ones as well another thing I wanted to compare is how
to create water color paint on my mat so I always work on this mat this is a
grayish color mat it's the Ken Oliver mat and it's the large one it covers
almost my whole desk and it's really good because number one it's clingy so
things don't move as much when you're working on them and also it's really
easy to clean I've caked it on with so many things
here and it's so easy to clean another thing I wanted to talk about the art
crayons is that talking about cleaning is that they're so easy to clean because
they're water-soluble they're so easy to clean so first I'm going to test one
line of them like this and then I'm going to create color with them so just
to make sure that I know where things are I will put them in front one of the
things that bothers me about some of these is that the lids I tend to lose
lids all the time so the first three that I'm working with have these lids
and always searching to see where these lids are the other three the ones that
comes in the set don't actually have lids so the nice thing about them does
you never ever lose the lid I'm always searching for the lids on my desk I am
not very organized so that's the only thing sometimes that annoys me I wish
that came with no lids but what can I do it protects them so that's why
so the diva weekly ones I want to talk about that they're actually the most
crayon like in terms of how they draw you could actually write with it and
stuff as well so it's really interesting seeing with these there when twins this
one is kind of very hard it's kind of breaking apart and it doesn't give me as
much of it so first I'm going to do the same thing I did before which is just
blend them and they blend beautifully on this distressed mixed-media paint a
paper however you see they're not blending all the way down like the other
ones did when they were on their gesso the gesso really helps things move along
so the as you can see the gelato didn't blend as much but these marabou ones
blending beautifully so I wonder if it has to do with the type of paper that
makes the difference each one kind of react differently let's see this one
this is the Tim Holtz one and it could be that I didn't put enough but it's
just blending on its own it's lightening that but it's not picking up too much of
the color let's see with the Prima one
so yeah this one is blending a little bit easier let's see the Dena Dena the
Wakeley one yeah this is also blending really nice I mean they're all blending
nicely but it's just depending on this one blends as well but it leaves a
little bit more of a mark so I'm not so crazy about that okay so now I'm going
to try and make my own water color with this so you can make your own
watercolors by adding oops wrong ones you can make your own water colors by
adding water to them so you can make light watercolors with them
and this works on anything you see how it you can paint with it it's hard to
see that it's there but it is definitely there not with the marabou same thing
this one obviously is a little bit of a darker color so it's more intense but
again the same thing you can make really nice watercolors with it with a distress
crayon same idea let me put a little bit more it feels like it didn't have so
much because I really want to see if it's the intensity I mean sometimes it's
just how light I placed it on yeah you see now it blends more and it has more
intensity to it you can use these type of paint brush which is like a
watercolor fillable refillable paint brush or you can use regular watercolor
paint brushes it's up to you same thing works perfectly this way love it that
way yep now let's see about the scribble sticks same thing so you see depending
on the intensity of how much you put there they will paint as well so I love
that and this paper from Tim Holtz is great for that you see here pieces of it
came off this is what I meant by you can actually create your own intense
watercolor spray so the more you put of these crayons in other a bottle or you
know in some kind of dish and mix it with water you get a more intense color
or intense look to everything so this was a nice experiment or you see that
you can use them this way as well the last paper I want to try is a hot press
watercolor paper this is a hundred percent cotton and it's a little bit
different than the other one which is a cold pressed one and I wanted to see if
there's a difference in them and I did not prep this one as well because I
really wanted to see the difference I grabbed some orange colors I do not have
the orange from marabou so I'm using yellow instead but I just
to kind of show you the difference and I'm gonna do the same exact thing as
always just to see if it reacts differently on the hot press watercolor
paper which is a smoother better quality watercolor paper so I'm going to do a
little bit different this than the other one in terms of how I'm placing them
just because I want to try something else as well so they're going really
smoothly on this is a smoother paper you could probably also use the Bristol
smooth paper from Strathmore there any Bristol smooth paper wow this is really
smooth this paper is amazing I mean it's not cheap I've just bought it because I
wanted to use it for certain projects and I am wasting one of the papers for
that but that's okay because I really want to show you how they work on these
as well scribble sticks
and there went all right bars this is also kind of a red I'm sorry I should
orange but that's okay it's an orange e red okay so I'm gonna do
I'm just curious actually how smooth a we'll go on oh yes you know it's really
smooth especially the marabou well marabou really blended smoothly without
any water let's see about this one this one does too so these three blends and
nicest without water all on this paper sorry I'm just grabbing a wipe and let's
see I'm trying to use different fingers so they don't blend so this one without
water obviously and this one for sure not so I think these ones have a little
bit more of that paste enos then these two so that's why they blend that way
now we're going to do it with the wipe like I did before and let's try it with
the wipe with this one so so you see how can you can create really cool effects
with wipes as well maybe I should start with the top nothing
so this one has a little bit more intensity to it but I think it has also
to do with them colors I choose I mean even this Yale is pretty intense and it
blends really nicely this this one left a little bit more like lines than these
two let's see with the crayons not blending is nicely on this paper which I
thought that everything would so that's okay so far this one blend these two
blended the best but with gesso it would blend them beautifully like I you saw
before the scribble sticks leaving a little bit of marks but I can still
blend them more and lastly this one
it's the least intense of course right it most of it comes off so I'm going to
do the test with the water as well yeah so you see how nice how nice this blends
but it does leave like it does leave that circle in the middle let's see with
the yellow yeah this one blends much easier look at the marabou crayons blend
beautifully on this paper really really nicely you don't even see a line
anywhere where the gelatos leave the line same thing with this this one
leaves a line so unless you don't want these lines you definitely need to use
some kind of gesso underneath and then you will not see that let's see here
so so far the marabou crayons blended nicely all the prima ones are blending
nicely as well so it all depends on the formula that the crayons were made with
let's see Dina weeklies lands beautifully on this paper and finally
let's see what this one yeah dosoo blends really nicely doesn't leave any
effects okay that's good that's good to know so I really like that and now I
want to see if it will work with the stencils so let me see so I'm taking
this stencil and I don't think it's going to work on these type of surfaces
actually maybe I'll do it a little bit differently so I'm going to apply here
on the side so I'm going to compare this one and I'm going to do it on the other
one as well with the gesso so one of the techniques
that I love doing is doing like a masking or ghosting and one of the best
ones is to do it with stencils I am going to apply more color here there's
that
and let's see how it works with the different ones okay so I don't have
space here so I'll have to do it over here okay so now I'm going to put the
stencil on top and you're gonna see what I mean
and this you can do in larger areas as well so you could work within a stencil
and create patterns so you're removing some of the color from the gelato so it
does work on this type of paper and it is not just underneath usually it works
better when there's gesso but it's working beautifully with this as well oh
it looks really good like that let's see what these ones yeah so that looks good
yes it's working I'm so happy I wasn't sure if it was going to work on these
type of backgrounds but it does so you see it creates really cool patterns by
removing some of the intensity you get these really cool patterns in the
background so this one thing it works just as well I think I put too much and
you can still see the lines and this works as well if you do it on the one
with gesso it looks really it works really really well so for example let's
see if it works with ones that it's already been done so for example you
could put the air-crane art crayon on dry it up and then come back and still
have a reaction with the water it will still react with the water and create a
pattern that's the beauty of the crayons these are great techniques that you can
do you can remove things and create those really cool patterns so I'm trying
to see if they will all work the same especially when there's gesso underneath
things work much better and you can remove it much easier this effect is
fantastic when you have just so underneath you see there the intensity
of it is much better let's use a little bit of a smaller
area here boy I just dirtied that did not mean to do that you see how nicely
it removes itself so that's what I love about it the crayons that they're so
easy to remove there we go I think it's dirty from something else
the lighter the color obviously the lighter the effect but there's so many
different techniques that can be done with these crayons really ridiculously
amazing techniques and you can see all of them everywhere so let's talk a
little bit about the price point okay so let's start with the gelatos as I said
gelatos come in so many colors I can't even count them and I do have price list
here on the side actually went and looked that up so in terms of gelatos
and let's go with these let's put up without the ones I used and also the
bigger one which is a double scoop it comes in a bigger size it comes in a
huge variety of colors and all you have to do is just either buy them in
packages or individually for example each one of them individually can cost
between $2 and 250 and all the prices I'm talking about our US Dollars and of
course you can get some one sale in different preset places but the sets for
example a large set that has like 33 colors can cost like $50.00 while a
smaller set of 15 can cost $25 and things like a small sets I have like
only six of the same colors so there they group them in two colors the dose
can cost about $10 and sometimes you can get them on on sale like I mean these
are like the retail price that they go for but you can definitely find them
cheaper in different places in terms of availability there are highly available
in many different stores both online in brick-and-mortar stores and a lot of
people carry them these are they're basically almost the original
it's by faber castell so there is just lots of different colors that you can
use with these so that's these are really fun the next ones are the marabou
crayons and definitely these are the newest ones I've played with recently I
hadn't played with these before and it come in a variety of colors but I only
have a few colors only because these were sent to me now not everything that
I am talking about today was sent to me a lot of the things I've bought myself
almost actually everything I've bought myself except for Mary the marabou
crayons everything else I've purchased with my own money so over the years I've
wanted to experiment with different things I love the different
consistencies of different products so it makes a huge difference for me to
have a variety in terms of these I love love love the fact that they're longer
and have more in them and you can roll them up and the only thing as I said is
the little lids that get lost everywhere but other than that I would say these
are the creamiest out of all and I love them just as much as everything else but
these are basically the creamiest the ones that I found the creamiest in terms
of the marabou they sold they sell individually for about $4 each and or
you can buy them in sets of four for $15 but there's not a lot of colors not a
lot of colors like the gelatos or the distress crayons there is less colors
but as I said they're quite intense in color and very smooth the next ones is
the distress crayons and they come in little packages like these and they come
in sets of six I don't have all the colors these packages go retail for
about $13 but many times they're on sale so you could get them probably for like
$10 I just grabbed a few colors from here they come like this or you can put
them in a tin altogether there's about 10 different sets so there's a huge
variety of colors and as I say they're about 10 to 10 $13 per set and also you
can buy them individually for about 250 they're also quite creamy and really
nice to use individually or with water and again the same thing with the lids
you might lose them the only good thing is that it has the color late so you
which one you've lost and they can be brought out or in depending on how much
you want of it so it's almost like a lipstick that way
so the next one is the Prima marketing one and the Prima marketing one comes in
a set like this it comes with 24 colors and I took a few of them from this it
comes with 24 colors now this is a really used up set I've used this a lot
and they call them the water soluble oil pastels but they're still kind of like
art crayons the nice thing about this is that it's 24 colors and they go for
about $20 so they're quite inexpensive in terms of how much they cost and how
much you get for it because I've used these a lot I've used in I had a class
where I used to use them a lot I mean they look really used up they come like
that but it's not doesn't look nice when I'm showing you the ugly way they
actually come pretty beautiful inside with with all the colors listed in terms
of the shades so it's really nice and comes with many different shades of
blues purples reds blue you can actually see all the colors right here so those
have used a lot these are was one of the originals that I had be after gelato so
I had gelatos first and I had the oil pastels then I got their art sorry the
distress crayons and recently I got the scribble sticks and the marabou art
crayons so those are the ones that I have gone recently in terms of the
scribble sticks so they come I'll show you how they come they come in this
really nice tin beautiful nice tin and there's two sets of these they come in
this is the first set and let me just tell you that how much it cost they cost
about $22 for 12 crayons and there's only two sets whoops this is something I
was scribbling about so you see they come like this and you can the nice
thing is you can put them back in here like that
and you have it all set to go so you could travel with this and it's just
really nice to have them this way so I love the fact that the way they store I
love that there are not as intense about really blending nicely and they're good
for art journaling mainly like it's not so much for covering a huge area but
you're giving it a little touches to things and it comes with many different
colors I only have the first set I don't have the second one but I'm sure it
comes with more complementary colors to the ones that are already here so I do
like the tin because it doesn't flip anywhere in the Sun have lids that's the
one thing that I I'm kind of like don't want so many lids everywhere and finally
I want to talk about the Derwent art bar so this one somebody recommended it and
I ended up buying them and I haven't used as much they're actually made in
the UK as it says here there's a different there went I think is a UK
company also come in this really nice tin and come in different color
combinations I wonder if the ink tents from their wind would be something that
you would be interested more in but these are really cool I found them a
little bit lighter if you're looking for something a little bit lighter to use
then this is definitely the thing to go I like that they come in this individual
packaging and something like this which is the art bars they go for $24 they're
about $58 I think I got them on sale because I don't remember paying that
much but who knows maybe I did pay that much $58 for 24 and the inktense which
is the ones that I don't have now there must be very intense there's $65 for 24
and that's a retail price obviously that's not when you get some kind of
sale on them especially on like Amazon and stuff and the last one I didn't do
it's the Neo colors I don't have those but they go for depending on the size of
the packaging there you go for 10 of them for 1450 there is 30 of them for
like $43 and then you forget the whole set of 84 is a hundred and twenty
dollars and a lot of people swear by these you can go and check them out in
different other videos where people compare those as well
I didn't have them so I couldn't compare them but these are the ones that I
wanted to compare and I'm just really happy of the comparison I will show you
again what I did so this is the one where I didn't have anything on them and
this created beautiful effects on this cold press watercolor paper then we have
the one that I put the white gesso on so beautiful the beautiful blending and
also masking so it was really easy to do that I loved how they went on the clear
gesso in the black gesso as well some of the more intense ones are over here
while the lighter ones are at the bottom then I tried them all so of course on
the Tim Holtz distress paper so that's really really nice you see how nicely it
blended and it didn't need any type of prepping so that's some good paper out
there and the last one it was the hot press watercolor paper and you can see
that it blended beautifully as well so the nice thing about these is that they
blend whether or not you put gesso or not you can get different effects and
you can also create some beautiful things with them so thank you so so much
