Sennelier oil pastels were developed in the 1940s in collaboration with Pablo Picasso, who wanted a drawing medium that combined the richness of oil paint with the directness of a stick. The result is a soft, buttery pastel that blends easily, layers well and adheres to most surfaces without requiring fixative. The range covers individual sticks across a broad colour selection, including iridescent, metallic and transparent colours alongside the standard palette, as well as curated sets organized by subject (landscape, portrait, still life) and size, from introductory formats to large studio collections. A versatile medium suited to drawing, painting and mixed media work on paper, canvas, wood and more. For the full Sennelier range, visit Sennelier.
