Born from a legendary 1949 collaboration between Henri Sennelier and Picasso, these oil pastels represent the pinnacle of artist-grade colour sticks. Formulated with premium pigments, pure synthetic binders, and neutral pH mineral wax, they deliver exceptional coverage, brilliance, and permanence. The carefully balanced composition creates a distinctly creamy, unctuously responsive medium suitable for diverse surfaces and techniques. Available in an extensive palette spanning classic, metallic, iridescent, and carefully graduated grey tones—developed through decades of consultation with European and North American painters. Sennelier oil pastels remain the benchmark for professional artists demanding superior lightfastness, colour intensity, and expressive freedom.
