Sennelier - Half-Stick À L'écu Soft Pastel Set (20pc)
20 of the highest-quality soft pastels
Handmade using both the purest pigment & finest chalk
Air-dried in moulds as opposed to compression
As with all materials made by Sennelier, these soft pastels are carefully, intricately made using only the finest, most vibrant materials available.
Amazingly soft, bright & lightfast, along with bring naturally water-soluble.
Developed in 1900, these are still made today using the same traditional methods; hand-formed with a natural transparent binder & air-dried rather than compressed.
Famously created for Edgar Degas, these were used subsequently by Cézanne, Gauguin, Modigliani & Monet.
