NEOART 6901
Professional, ASTM D-6901 Archival Colour for Artists in Australia.
Caran d’Ache Neoart 6901 wax oil pastels are part of the brand’s Expert range and are the first wax and oil pastels to comply with ASTM D-6901, guaranteeing exceptional lightfastness for up to 100 years.
This makes Neoart 6901 a true lightfast oil pastel for professional artists who need durable, archival work that won’t fade.
With a palette of 48 highly pigmented colours – 34 rated LFI (highest lightfastness) and 14 LFII – Neoart 6901 delivers intense, pure colour for serious studio practice.
Combining the softness of wax with the richness of oil, these permanent pastels have a smooth, silky texture that glides effortlessly over the surface, yet remains stable and powder-free.
The high pigment concentration gives excellent coverage and saturation, while the ergonomic octagonal shape offers a secure, comfortable grip for both bold marks and controlled detail.
Neoart 6901 pastels are designed for professionals, art students and passionate creatives who want expressive application without sacrificing precision or permanence.
Neoart 6901 wax oil pastels perform beautifully on a wide range of supports, including paper, canvas, cardboard, wood and even glass, making them ideal for mixed-media work, illustration, abstracts and expressive drawings.
Use the edge for fine lines, the side for broad coverage, then layer, blend and build rich textures; colours can also be combined with other Caran d’Ache ranges for complex, multi-media surfaces.
