Caran Dache Neopastel Malachite Green – Soft Velvety Turpentine Soluble Pigment

Caran Dache Neopastel in Malachite Green is a premium artist-grade pastel stick designed for professional and serious hobbyist use. Known for its exceptionally soft and velvety texture, this pigment delivers smooth application and rich colour laydown without powdering or drying out over time. Formulated for durability and performance, it belongs to Caran Dache’s renowned 96-colour Neopastel range, celebrated for its lightfastness and consistent coverage across artistic techniques.

Each stick is engineered with high pigment concentration and a unique binder system that ensures excellent thermal stability and resistance to fading. The Malachite Green variant is soluble in turpentine, allowing for blending and washing techniques, while remaining water-resistant once fixed. Artists can stump, blend dry with fingers, or layer the pastel for diverse textural effects, all without compromising integrity or colour vibrancy. These technical attributes make it suitable for fine art, illustration, and mixed media work where archival quality is essential.

The combination of softness, solubility, and permanence enables expressive control whether working on paper, board, or primed canvas. Its resistance to environmental changes ensures long-term stability in displayed artwork, making it a trusted choice for creators who demand both performance and longevity. The pastel’s handling characteristics support both detailed work and broad expressive strokes, adapting to various artistic styles and surfaces.
