Caran d'Ache : Artist Neopastel

These amazing oil-based colours can be thinned out with turpentine or any other oil-thinning medium, making them extremely versatile and perfect to use over regular oil paint. Neopastels can be applied in a number of ways, painting, drawing, creating washes, or even laying a colour down and etching a design in the colour. These sticks are flat-ended so you can apply color in broad strokes or thin lines. Unlike regular pastels, these will not crumble or kick powder with use, they also provide an excellent lightfastness. These are truly a beautiful pastel that will provide great coverage. Caran d'Ache has been an expert manufacturer of pastels since 1952, and it was more than 30 years ago that the craftsmen in is Geneva workshops developed the Neopastel to fully satisfy the needs of professional and amateur pastel artists.
