Sennelier Extra Soft Pastel Half-Stick Set of 40 in Cardboard Studio Box

Sennelier Extra Soft Pastels are made through a traditional process that keeps the pastel paste light and delicate. The cylindrical mold shapes each pastel without heavy compression, helping the color remain soft, smooth, and easy to blend. Each stick is air-dried for four weeks to ensure even softness from edge to edge.

This set includes 40 half sticks in a sturdy cardboard box, offering a balanced mix of colors for layering, shading, and expressive work. Each pastel measures about 1-1/4 inches long and 5/8 inch in diameter. The sticks are unwrapped and slightly squared to reduce breakage while still delivering Sennelier’s signature silky feel on paper.
