Neocolor I

Unleash creativity across diverse surfaces with Caran d’Ache Neocolor I Wax Pastels—a pioneering water-resistant wax pastel line introduced in Geneva in 1952 and esteemed by artists, designers, and art educators alike. These permanent wax crayons deliver a creamy texture, superior coverage, bright colours, and excellent lightfastness, allowing you to apply rich pigments on paper, cardboard, glass, wood, fabric, leather, stone, and more. Neocolor I pastels are endlessly versatile: use them dry for layering and blending, manipulate them with turpentine or mineral spirits for painterly effects, apply heat for encaustic techniques, or try frottage, sgraffito, and wax-resist methods.  Offered in sets of 10, 15, 30, or 40 shades—including metallic collections—these pastels are timeless tools for artists across Australia seeking quality and experimentation in every stroke.
