    I used to use watercolor pencils but they were very limited and didn't absorb the paper. The colors were bland. Why I didn't know about this before? Try it and you'll be wanting more. I am far from being the best in art but it sure felt like I was. FYI. The guitar is a Valentine's card for my son.

      I have two brands of water soluable wax pastels. I wanted to see what Caran D'ache was like. It does seem more pigmented and smoother than the copycat crayons. When dissolved with water, no marks are left behind. I only bought the set of 10, but may get more in the future.

      Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025
      Verified Purchase
      These are amazing for watercolor! Very tempted to buy the larger 30 set in the future. For larger areas I just use them right out of the box, then bring a damp brush in to get an instant wash. Pigments are intense and lush. For detailed work I use a wetted small round brush and dap the tip of the brush directly on the blunt end; this gives a very pigment-rich touch for fine lines, figures, shorelines, etc. I've tried a couple of brands of these... but this one is superior. They really got this right.

      So far these are really lovely crayon/watercolors. A little goes a long way. I did this little sketch with just the black crayon and a wet q-tip. These will be a good travel companion because you can color it dry and wet it later or just go wet from the start. So if you are on the train or something you don't have to worry about a water cup. Very strong colors.

      You must have read my Mungyo oil pastel review.
      These two I bought together as I was experimenting with water soluble crayons.
      Caran Dache is an amazing brand and the packaging itself is so perfect.
      The box is of 10 water soluble wax crayons. And yes it looks really small, BUT
      It's gorgeous to work with. I mix My Mungyo. Oil pastels and my neocolours II.

      Try it out.
