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.
