link to colour chart In 1949 Sennelier started developing a range of quality pastels for Pablo Picasso. Picasso was looking for a pastel with intense colour that could be applied directly and freely to a wide variety of surfaces. As a result Sennelier created an oil pastel with a soft creamy quality. Sennelier oil pastels are made using a unique combination of non-aggressive oils and waxes so they can be used on almost any surface including paper. All 120 colours are 100% lightfast.
