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 professional-quality colours, this soft oil pastel encourages unlimited creativity through the wide variety of techniques it makes possible.

These oil pastels have a soft and velvety texture that just slides across the page with amazing coverage. They're not water-soluble but can be thinned and mixed with solvents (like mineral spirits) to create even more variety and creativity.
