Caran d\'Ache have been pioneers in making pastels since 1952 and during that time, their craftsmen in its Geneva workshops developed the 'Neopastel', to help professional and amateur pastel artists find the best quality. This soft oil pastel has a wide variety of applications and techniques with over 96 colours to choose from. Inside this box you'll find 48 of these pastels, giving you a range of shades suitable for portraits, sill life's, landscapes, abstracts and much more! They have a soft velvety texture with quality pigment and are fantastic for techniques like lines to flat-wash, blending to stencilling, and the batik effect.
