Big Color, Bold Impact

Sennelier Grand Oil Pastels are the ultimate choice for artists seeking powerful color and expressive freedom in a larger format. Originally developed in the 1940s with the input of Pablo Picasso, these pastels are known for their rich pigment load, creamy texture, and exceptional coverage. The “Grande” size offers the best of both worlds—large enough for sweeping strokes and layering, yet precise enough for detail work.

Each stick delivers intense, lightfast color with a lipstick-like texture that glides effortlessly onto virtually any surface, including paper, canvas, metal, wood, glass, and stone. Whether you’re creating bold compositions or delicate blends, the soft, blendable formula ensures a smooth application and vibrant results that last. With a size equivalent to eight standard pastels, Sennelier Grand Oil Pastels are built for artists who think—and work—on a grand scale.
