Caran d'Ache Neopastel Oil Pastels – Open Stock Singles

Discover the exceptional versatility of Caran d'Ache Neopastel Oil Pastels, a favourite among professional artists, illustrators and mixed-media enthusiasts worldwide.

Manufactured in Switzerland to the renowned standards of Caran d'Ache, Neopastels feature a rich, soft and velvety texture that glides effortlessly across a wide variety of surfaces. Their highly pigmented formula delivers vibrant, colour-saturated marks while maintaining excellent coverage and blending capabilities.

Unlike traditional soft pastels, Neopastels do not crumble, dust or powder, making them a clean and enjoyable medium to work with. Their cylindrical shape and flat-ended design allow artists to create both broad expressive strokes and finer detailed marks with ease.

One of the standout qualities of Neopastels is their remarkable versatility. They can be used directly from the stick for bold, vibrant colour, blended together for smooth transitions, or thinned with solvents such as Zest-It or Turpentine to create washes, stains and painterly effects. This makes them an excellent companion to oil painting, mixed media work and experimental techniques.

With an impressive range of 96 colours, all offering excellent lightfastness, Caran d'Ache Neopastels provide artists with the confidence that their artwork will retain its brilliance for years to come.

Available as open stock singles, allowing you to replace favourite colours individually without purchasing a complete set.
