The oil pastel Sennelier is a product that reproduces all the ingredients used in Sennelier paints: pigments of the highest quality, an extremely pure synthetic binder and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with a non-drying binder that does not oxidize and therefore does not change the color film or the painting surface. This base is then mixed with a ph neutral wax. The balance of this mixture gives the Sennelier oil pastel a unique suppleness and a creamy texture that offer the painter great artistic freedom.
Sennelier oil pastels have a unique concentration of pigments that give them high tinting strength, good coverage, brilliance of shades and excellent fastness to light (except for metallic and fluorescent colours).
The remarkable properties of these components and their extremely balanced dosages result in unique oil pastels that have become famous all over the world.
