Sennelier GIANT Oil Pastels

In 1949 Pablo Picasso asked Henri Sennelier to create a completely new medium that had the qualities of oil paint and soft pastels in an easy to apply stick form. Picasso told Henri “I want a coloured pastel that I can paint on anything... wood, paper, canvas, metal without having to prepare the surface.” This collaboration gave birth to Sennelier Oil Pastels. Simply pure intense colour drawing sticks with a creamy consistency and smoothness.
