:: Sennelier Artists Quality Oil Pastels
In 1949 Sennelier started developing a range of artists quality pastels for Pablo Picasso. Picasso was looking for a pastel with intense colour that could be applied directly and freely to a wide range of surfaces. As a result Sennelier created an oil pastel with a soft creamy quality with all the intensity and vibrancy of conventional oil colours. However, unlike oil colours Sennelier oil pastels are made using a unique combination of non aggressive oils and waxes so they can be used on almost any surface, including paper without cracking or effecting the substrate. All 120 are 100% lightfast making the Sennelier oil pastel range probably the only true artist quality oil pastel in the world. All available as standard size pastels, and Black and White are available as giant pastels, the approximate equivalent of 15 standard pastels.
