Set half-pastels à l'écu - countryside landscape (30)

Sennelier

$89.99

In stock

Sennelier "à l'écu" pastels are extra soft pastels composed of high-quality pure pigments grounded with a natural transparent binder. The smoothness and velvetiness of these pastels are the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. Their exceptional brightness is due to the quality of pigment used, as well as the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905, which have been used ever since. It took Sennelier more than three years, at the beginning of the 20th century, to formulate this range of pastels, and thus creating one of the largest chromatic ranges of pastels. Over the course of the century, this range of tones has evolved, but its essence remains unchanged. This set contains 30 extra-soft half pastels in countryside tones. Dimensions: 10 mm (diameter), 36 mm (length).

Every drawing practice starts with a few key tools.

DeSerres brings together the essentials: graphite and charcoal pencils, quality paper, erasers, blending stumps and fixatives, from the brands artists and art students rely on. Whether you're just starting out or building on an existing practice, this is where to begin.

What do I need to start drawing?

A basic drawing kit doesn't need to be complicated. Start with a set of graphite pencils in a few hardness grades (HB, 2B, 4B cover most needs), a sketchpad with at least 90 g/m2 paper, a kneaded eraser and a blending stump. From there, you can add charcoal for looser, more expressive work, or coloured pencils for illustration. Explore our Graphite and Charcoal Pencils, Pencils and Pastels, Paper and Drawing Accessories to build your kit.
