The Sennelier Oil Pastel Seascape Set is six colours chosen for the water: Cobalt Blue and Indian Blue for depth, Ash Blue for distance and sky, Viridian Green and Green Yellow Light for shallows and sunlit swell, and White for foam and breaking waves.

These are the oil pastels Sennelier first made for Picasso in 1949, and they are still the benchmark: soft, creamy and dense with pigment, so they glide on like paint and blend into each other under a fingertip. Use them on pastel paper, card, gessoed board, canvas or even glass.

About Sennelier

Sennelier has been making artists' colour in Paris since 1887, when Gustave Sennelier opened his colour shop on the Quai Voltaire, across the Seine from the Louvre. Cezanne, Gauguin and Picasso all bought their colours there. In 1949 Henri Sennelier created the first professional oil pastel at Picasso's request, so that the artist could paint on any surface without preparation. Sennelier oil pastels are still made in France to that idea: soft, creamy and rich in pigment, in a range of 120 colours plus iridescent shades.
