Sennelier

Sennelier's Extra-Soft Pastels were created over a period of three years at the turn of the 20th century and the result was the creation of one of the largest chromatic range of pastels. These pastels are comfortable to hold and allow for large areas to be covered with a lush, luxurious color. Each pastel is composed of a natural transparent binder. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and that have been used ever since. The manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste. Each half stick measures 1-1/4" long x 1/2" in diameter. These 6-Stick Sets are peggable and compact.

Box set - square pastels - landscape (100)

Sennelier

$679.99

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 100 assorted pastels, presented in a high-quality wooden box.
