Caran d'Ache Neopastel Oil Pastels – Open Stock Singles

Discover the vibrant world of Caran d'Ache Neopastel Oil Pastels, the professional-quality oil pastel trusted by artists, illustrators and mixed media creators around the globe.

Made in Switzerland to Caran d'Ache's renowned standards of excellence, Neopastels feature a rich, soft and velvety texture that glides effortlessly across paper, card, canvas, wood and many other surfaces. Their highly pigmented formula delivers intense, colour-rich marks with exceptional coverage and blending capabilities.

Unlike traditional soft pastels, Neopastels do not crumble, dust or powder, making them a clean and versatile medium for both studio and outdoor work. The cylindrical sticks feature flat ends, allowing artists to create broad expressive strokes, detailed marks and everything in between.

Neopastels can be used straight from the stick for bold, vibrant colour or blended with solvents such as Zest-It and Turpentine to create washes, glazes and painterly effects. Their versatility makes them ideal for mixed media projects and for use alongside traditional oil painting techniques.

With 84 colours available as open stock singles at Pencil Perfect, you can easily replace favourite shades without purchasing a complete set. Every colour offers excellent lightfastness, helping your artwork retain its brilliance for years to come.
