035 Sennelier Raw Umber Oil Pastel

In 1949 Sennelier started developing a range of artists quality pastels for the famous artist 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 and creamy quality, with all the intensity and vibrancy of conventional oil colours. However, unlike oil colours 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, without cracking or affecting the substrate. All 120 colours are 100% lightfast making the Sennelier oil pastel range probably the only true artist quality oil pastel in the world.
