Description
NeoPastels are top quality pastels that adhere without producing the slightest trace of dust. Colourfast shades maintain exceptional covering properties and have soft textures that allow for easy colour mixing. Use them on textured paper and fix the art with a fixative spray when finished for best results. A wide selection of 96 colours is available in the full range.
Velvety, luminous pastels with a high pigment concentration and covering texture allow you to apply large quantities of opaque and coloured material, in strokes or as blocks of colour, blended, in washes, in batik, stencil or sgraffito. The form and colour of the medium will determine the final look of the work.Â
The pastels can be used on most supports (tinted paper, tracing paper or smooth paper, canvas, wood, glass, leather) but work exceptionally well on textured paper.
When used in mixed media pieces these pastels will adhere to dry undercoats such as ink, acrylic, water-based and oil-based paints.
Available in Sets of 12, 24, 48 and 96 colours. Also available in a wooden gift set of 96 colours.
Please view the Colour Chart to see the colours available in each set.
Developed and manufactured in Switzerland.

I have tried many oil pastel brands and for me, this is the best I have experienced. Having used them for a year + I love the variety of styles that can be achieved using these Gems. The colours sing to you and bring works to life thanks to the pure, fine pigments and colours that won’t fade! The consistency for my preferred style is a dream to work with. It affords high levels of control and bendability. Instead of fighting with my medium, it stands by me like a loyal pup waiting to help me achieve what vision my mind has. From photo realism, to fantasy realism, or even abstract, this is it! I have come to love everything Caran d’Ache stands for, making you feel that they are created with the highest levels of quality, and with your best user experience in mind!
