The world's finest oil pastels, designed to paint on any substrate!The world's finest oil pastels were their first, originally created in 1949 by Henri Sennelier for Pablo Picasso. Picasso, a frequent patron of Henri’s art supply shop across from the Louvre, was looking for a vibrant colored pastel he could use to paint on anything, giving examples of wood, metals, paper, canvas, etc. Picasso enjoyed the immediacy of children’s crayons and soft pastels, but wanted to be able to use their freer, gestural qualities on all surfaces, and wanted them to be professional quality and lightfast. Sennelier’s first oil pastels have since been the hallmark and long-time standard of the medium.Key Features:Standard and Grande SizeRange of 120 Vibrant Colors, including iridescent, metallic, fluorescent colorsSennelier pastels are acid-free and can be applied to any surfaceHighly pigmented and lightfastDraw on virtually any surface!Unlike oil paint, substrates do not require primingSoft, creamy application of colorAvailable in open stock or boxed setsPerfect For:Sketching in ColorMixed Media ArtistsProfessional ArtistsAir Travel (no restrictions)Plein Air - no need to lug brushes, solvents, palette, etc.!Gifts for the artist who has everything
