A Legacy of Color and Creamy Expression

Sennelier Oil Pastels are a gold standard in the art world—born from a collaboration with Pablo Picasso and still beloved by artists today for their exceptional performance. These pastels boast a smooth, creamy texture that glides effortlessly across paper, canvas, wood, and more, making them perfect for layering, blending, and creating bold, expressive strokes.

Each stick is packed with a high concentration of pure pigment, offering brilliant color, excellent opacity, and outstanding lightfastness that ensures your work remains vibrant over time. They can be used directly on a variety of surfaces or thinned with turpentine and applied with a brush for painterly effects. Archival and acid-free, Sennelier Oil Pastels are as reliable as they are versatile—ideal for both traditional and experimental techniques.
