The most sought after oil pastel by artists, the Sennelier Artists Oil Pastel offer an unchallenged performance with very high pigment content and exceptional lightfastness. They are soft, smooth and almost like painting with lipstick (please don't put them on your lips!) and 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 mixed media techniques and on their own to create beautiful paintings utilising the broad palette of bright, bold, subtle & metallic colours.
