Caran d'Ache Neocolor I pastels are another popular artistic medium with their own unique characteristics. These are oil-based pastels known for their rich, creamy texture and vibrant colours. While they don't possess the water-soluble properties of Neocolor II, Neocolor I pastels have their own set of advantages. Their oil-based nature allows for excellent blending capabilities, making them ideal for artists who prefer to work with smooth and buttery pastels. The colours are highly pigmented and produce bold, expressive marks on paper, canvas, and various other surfaces.

Neocolor I pastels are versatile and can be used for a wide range of artistic techniques, including drawing, sketching, colouring, and impasto work. They are favoured by artists looking for an alternative to traditional dry pastels or oil pastels. Like Neocolor II, these pastels are lightfast, ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of your artwork. Caran d'Ache maintains its reputation for producing high-quality art supplies with Neocolor I pastels.

They come in a durable casing that is resistant to breakage and is well-suited for on-the-go and outdoor artistry. These pastels are non-toxic and safe for artists of all ages, making them a versatile choice for various creative projects.
Caran d'Ache offers Neocolor I pastels in sets of various sizes, ranging from compact sets with a few colours to larger sets featuring a broad spectrum of hues. Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, Neocolor I pastels provide a dependable and richly pigmented medium for expressing your artistic vision with a smooth and creamy feel.
