Caran d’Ache has been an expert manufacturer of pastels since 1952 and it was more than 30 years ago that the craftsmen in its Geneva workshops developed the Neopastel™ to fully satisfy the needs of professional and amateur pastel artists. With its range of 96 professional-quality colours, this soft oil pastel encourages unlimited creativity through the wide variety of techniques it makes possible.

100% Swiss Made, each Caran d’Ache Neopastel™ Oil Pastel stick is round, water-resistant and completely dust-free, made from extra-fine pigments and inert oil for maximum covering power and excellent lightfastness. The soft, creamy texture glides smoothly over the surface without crumbling, yet remains stable over time and can be easily thinned with white spirit or turpentine to create painterly washes and glazes.
