Sennelier Soft Pastels were first made by Gustave Sennelier for Edgar Degas in 1900, & they were subsequently used by Cézanne, Gauguin, Monet & Modigliani. Now as then, they are given the very best treatment: h&-formed from the highest-quality pure pigment & the finest chalk with a natural transparent binder, & air-dried in moulds rather than compressed. In return, they’ll bring you amazing results: wonderfully soft, outstandingly bright, lightfast & water-soluble. They come well-protected in foam-lined, sturdy cardboard boxes.
