Manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste, and the pastel dries naturally in open air. Made with high quality, pure pigment.
The name Sennelier is synonymous with the finest pastels available in the world. Their intensity of colour and singular velvety feel have been appreciated by pastel artists since the turn of the century. Sennelier’s first colours were commissioned by Degas, and are made the same way today by hand. Unlike other pastels, Sennelier pastels are pure pigment and are devoid of any fillers of clay, which dull the pastel’s colour. An exclusive natural binder holds their hand-selected pigments together, yielding vivid, and water-soluble colour. This set offers an introduction to Sennelier quality at an affordable price, perfect for beginners and students. The half stick’s more robust form is perfect for turning on their sides and applying broad strokes.
