Sennelier 80 Assorted Half-Pastels

The name Sennelier has always been associated with the softest panels in the world.
The intensity of their colour and their velvety feel have been appreciated by artists since the end of the last century.
The first Pastels a l'Ecu Sennelier were commissioned by Degas and are still made in the same way, the sticks are modelled by hand and air-dried.
Unlike other pastels, Sennelier pastels are made of pure pigments, giving maximum lightfastness; they do not contain any clay, which would make the colours bland.
They are so concentrated and velvety that the lightest touch produces a uniform, vibrant line of pure colour. Subtle shadow play and the softest shades are possible due to their high quality composition, which enhances the value of the mediums.
To create the various colour gradients Sennelier uses the famous "tica champenoise", a white pigment from Eastern France, known for its beauty and creamy texture.
A special Sennelier natural giant binds the pigment powder, giving a vivid, luminous colour and diluting it with water.
This set represents Sennelier quality at a reasonable price, perfect for students and beginners.
For professionals, the size of the half-pastel and its solidity make it very suitable for working on edge and for the creation of large and wide touches of colour.

Includes 80 half-pastels.
