Sennelier Oil Pastels were made at the request of the creative genius Pablo Picasso. Gustave Sennelier created them in 1949 when Picasso requested intense colours that he could use on as many surfaces as possible. Sennelier Oil Pastels bring not just a luxurious lipstick-creamy texture, but an extremely high pigmentation that provides excellent coverage and is fully lightfast. You can apply Sennelier Oil Pastels directly or blend them with your finger or cloth, and you can also dilute them with turpentine and blend them with a brush. This set contains an extensive selection of 120 colours presented in a wooden box.
