Caran d'Ache Pastels

Caran d'Ache Pastels Online in India

Caran d'Ache's pastels come in three families that behave very differently. Neocolor I is a permanent, water-resistant wax pastel that works on paper, wood, glass and fabric. Neocolor II looks identical but is water-soluble, so a wet brush turns a crayon mark into a wash, and it has become a favourite for sketchbooks and mixed media. Neopastel is a true artist oil pastel: soft, velvety and dissolvable in white spirit. NeoArt is the lightfast aquarelle wax pastel for professional work.

Which one you need

For mixed media, resist techniques and marks that must survive a wash, choose Neocolor I. For wet-and-dry sketching and colour you can move with water, Neocolor II. For painterly, blended oil pastel work, Neopastel. The metallic and special edition boxes make good gifts for artists who already own the basics.

Complete the setup

Pair Neocolor II with a water brush from the Caran d'Ache range and a watercolour or mixed media pad. Compare Sennelier oil pastels and browse all oil pastels and soft pastels.
