The most sought after oil pastels by artists, the Sennelier Artists Oil Pastels offer an unchallenged performance with a number of unique colours and properties. They are soft and smooth and almost like painting with lipstick (please don't put them on your lips!) they blend, slide and glide onto the painting surface in a very pleasing way. Can be used as a resist for water colour or for a number of mixed media techniques or on their own to create beautiful paintings utilising the wide range of bright, bold, subtle & metallic colours.
