Description
The oil pastels made by Sennelier are composed of high quality pigments, a pure synthetic binding medium, and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidize and that has no effect upon either film stability or surface. This base is then mixed with wax (neutral pH). The balance of this mix provides Sennelier oil pastels with a unique unctuousness and a creamy texture that allows for a great deal of freedom in pictorial expression. The high pigment content of the oil pastels makes them capable of producing a high coloring and covering potential, excellent brightness, and a high degree of light stability (with the exception of metallic and fluorescent shades). The precise dosage of the components provides Sennelier oil pastels with unique properties that make them a world-recognized reference.
