In 1949, painter Henri Goetz approached Henri Sennelier about creating a wax colour stick for Pablo Picasso, who wanted a medium that could be used freely across different surfaces without fading or cracking. Sennelier oil pastels combine artist pigments with an inert synthetic binder and neutral-pH mineral wax, producing their distinctive creamy texture and high colour strength.
Which Sennelier oil pastel set should you choose?
- 24 assorted: a compact general-purpose palette.
- 24 Portrait or Still Life: subject-led colour selections with useful ready-made half-tones.
- 48 or 72 assorted: broader working palettes with fewer colours to mix.
- 120 Universal: the complete standard-size range for professional studios.
- 36 Large: oversized sticks for broad marks and large surfaces.
Handling and finishing
The non-drying binder keeps the sticks soft and workable for blending, layering, scraping and solvent techniques. Protect finished work with an appropriate fixative and frame delicate surfaces carefully.
