Sennelier Oil Pastel Set

With a history that dates to 1887, Sennelier is one of the world's most storied art materials manufacturers. Their history with oil pastels is a bit shorter; in 1949, Sennelier was the first to create a professional-quality oil pastel at the request of Pablo Picasso. These luxuriously soft, intensely pigmented pastels are the descendants of those early efforts, and they remain a preferred choice for artists all over the world. This is Sennelier's Introductory Set of twelve oil pastels, including a full palette of classic colors to get you started. Packed in a foam-lined box, it's a portable pastel set that invites you to head out and sketch. On the go, you can blend them with your fingers or a blending stump, and in the studio, you can use an oil painting solvent and a brush. Made in France.
