CARAN D'ACHE Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastel 50th Anniversary Portrait Set x 10 (Includes 3 Exclusive Colors)

Celebrate five decades of artistic excellence with the Caran d'Ache NEOCOLOR™ II 50 Years Portrait Special Edition. Since 1975, NEOCOLOR™ II Aquarelle wax pastels have been cherished by artists for their vibrant pigments and versatility. This commemorative set introduces three exclusive shades—Light Peony Yellow, Conch Pearl, and Light Wine Lees—complementing seven classic tones to create a harmonious palette ideal for portraiture and nuanced artworks.

Use these soft, water-soluble pastels to create beautiful watercolor effects. Simply make a sketch with Neocolor II pastels, then sprinkle it with water and allow the colors to dilute. Use a brush to pick up colors and paint as though with watercolors. You can also draw on moistened paper for a wash and varnish effect. These water-soluble pastels have a high pigment concentration that results in bright, opaque colors, suitable for many techniques on dry or wet paper.
