Set half-pastels à l'écu (40)

Sennelier

$119.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Sennelier "à l'écu" pastels are extra soft pastels composed of high-quality pure pigment 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 40 extra soft half pastels in assorted colours. Dimensions: 10 mm (diameter), 36 mm (length).

Pastels: Rich Colour, Direct and Expressive

Pastels are one of the most immediate and tactile drawing media available. Applied directly to the surface with the fingers or a blending tool, they produce rich, luminous colour with a unique velvety texture. DeSerres carries a wide selection of soft pastels, oil pastels and pastel pencils in student and professional quality, suited to portraiture, landscape, still life and abstract work.

Soft Pastels, Oil Pastels or Pastel Pencils: Which to Choose?

Soft pastels have a high pigment content and blend easily, making them ideal for large areas of colour, smooth gradients and expressive mark-making. They work best on textured paper or pastel board. Oil pastels have a creamy, waxy consistency that adheres to a wider range of surfaces and can be blended with a solvent for painterly effects. Pastel pencils combine the richness of pastel with the precision of a pencil, perfect for fine detail and controlled work. Each type has its own character and opens up different creative possibilities. Explore our full Pencils & Pastels collection for more options.
