SENNELIERPASTEL PICASSO WOOD SET 50

I love working with this pastel , easy to apply and the colors are so rich and the white is so amazing... it brings everything to life.

In this weather in my attic studio they are very soft - like lip stick. Perhaps I will put them in the fridge. What I find them useful for is colouring and highlighting paintings. It is going to be a problem if I want a picture framed as I have read that they never dry so there will have to be a space between the painting and the glass. I think I am going to use them a lot. As soon as I opened them I realised I should have bought a bigger box - could do with another green. So go for a bigger box!

Bought it as a gift and she loves it!

These oil pastels are definitely the best of the best and are creamy smooth. I have a set of Mungyos as well. I like the color choices but after having a set of 72 Mungyos, I got spoiled by the colors and buying this set with less colors is an adjustment. I'm new to oil pastel and find the Senneliers more of a challenge because they are so soft and I end up having issues with smearing. And I use a piece of paper under my hand. But these are light years ahead of the rest. I like using my Mungyos along with these which allow me to put under layers with my other pastels and finishing with these.

Sennelier are the best, and these did not disappoint. They glide on the paper, blend beautifully, and the colors are sumptuous and rich. My only complaint is that, unlike the old-time cases, these do not have separators between the pastels. Still, a lovely set.
