Neocolor II

Experience the versatility of Caran d’Ache Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastels, often dubbed the “Swiss army knife” of wax pastels—art tools suited to any surface and technique. Launched in 1972 as the innovative successor to Neocolor I, these water-soluble wax-oil pastels offer unlimited creative possibilities for artists of all disciplines. 

These crayons feature a soft, velvety texture, high pigment concentration, superior coverage, and exceptional lightfastness. Whether you work dry for dense, layering effects, or apply water for wash-like luminosity, they adapt beautifully.

Perfect for professional artists, illustrators, educators, and creatives who demand adaptability—Neocolor II pastels shine on paper, canvas, wood, fabric, glass, and more. At Newtown Art Supplies, you're invited to explore this premium Swiss modality—bringing bold, dynamic expression to your workflow in Australia.
