Getting the Most From Your Pastel Pencils
Work light to dark and resist pressing hard early on. Pastel builds beautifully in thin layers, and keeping the early layers light leaves the paper tooth free for the final details and highlights.

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, and in 1949 Henri Sennelier created the first professional oil pastel at Picasso's request. Pastel is in the family DNA, and these woodless pastel pencils are made in France to the same standard as the famous Sennelier soft pastels.

How many colours do Sennelier pastel pencils come in?
The range has 48 colours. The set of 24 covers half of them in one go, so it is the quickest way to build a broad palette.
Are Sennelier pastel pencils good for portraits?
Yes. The fine point is ideal for eyes, hair and edges, and the soft pastel blends smoothly for skin tones. Many portrait artists block in with soft pastel and finish with pastel pencils.
Do woodless pastel pencils break easily?
They are more delicate than a wooden pencil, so store them in their box and avoid dropping them. A clutch holder protects the pencil and lets you use it right down to a short stub.
What paper should I use with pastel pencils?
Anything with a bit of tooth: pastel paper, sanded pastel paper or a textured toned paper. The tooth grabs the pigment and lets you build up layers.
