Description

Created in the 1940’s in collaboration with Pablo Picasso, Sennelier’s creamy, lipstick-like oil pastels are rich in pigment and have outstanding coverage, opacity and lightfastness. They may be thinned with turpentine and worked with a brush, are acid-free and can be applied to any surface. They are made using top quality pigments, an extremely pure synthetic binding medium and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidize, ensuring stability of film and surface. The balance of this mix results in a creamy texture that invites broad strokes and freedom of expression.

The Discovery Set includes:

Black, White, Delft Blue, Permanent Intense Red, Lemon Yellow, & Green Medium
